I wonder if they would serve booze, as I am under the impression they do not at the club in London (which surprised me).
Will they keep the needle bins in the bathroom.
After Sept 11th, how an you make an aircraft full of bouncing people secure?
Will they keep the beacon and strobes on the outside of the aircraft or will they move in?

Bird Strike: Find a good streak of CAT?
Reminds me of a joke I heard... "If the violent new computer games make kids violent, wouldn't todays young people who grew up playing pac-man spend their time in dark rooms listening to monotonous music and eating pills... ? Oh... nevermind!"
Better get this thread to Jet Blast where the whole idea of flying raves belongs anyway.
Cheers,

I seem to recall Air Ops doing a flight like that with one of their 1011īs.. From Frankfurt to Las Vegas the aft section of the cabin was made into a dancefloor.. It was all supervised by a number of bouncers to make sure that no more that 50 ppl was on the floor at the same time and thus exceeding the max floorload limit..
Those were the days..

just thinking about this a little further.
So you're grooving away (or whatever the term is nowerdays) to a few tunes when in the middle of "Ride on Time" the Captain comes over the tannoy (I assume that when the PA is used it cuts into the "track" and has priority - or will it "mix" into the song?) with the "We're currently cruising at 37,000ft". Isn't this going to go down like a lead mangle?
I can see PA's being timed to perfection with the DJ giving the fligtdeck a "time slot" to speak!

Easy. You'd have the effo doing the DJ'ing. The captain would ask him to put on a dub track while he did the PAs as voice over. I can just hear it:
"Welcome inna dis de most rockin' sound system! I n'I now be a-cruisin' miles high ovah Babylon"
Better pull the C/B for the smoke detectors in the cabin...

I would imagine there would need to be a separate altimeter on the flight deck for the pax.
"Good evening ladies and gentlemen - this is your Captain, Aphex Twin - I hope you are all truly mullahed - we'll be taxiing to the runway on the power of our sub-bass drivers."
Edited cos I can

"as per our standard night procedures we will be dimming the cabin lights and turn off the sub-woofer on the wing - thus ensuringwe don't wake up the neighbours on the flight path"
