Notes from the Air

Posted in Flightster | 3 comments

Over on the Flightster Blog I posted a few observations from my travels over the past few weeks. I think any passenger or airline employee can relate to what I’ve seen. Here’s a small taste of what you can find:

To parents: Play-dough should not be used by children on board an aircraft. It sticks to everything and gets everywhere. And no, I will not clean it up and, yes, I will be giving you a few cans of club soda and towels to do it yourself.

To parents: In the middle of the flight it’s not okay to come up to the front of the aircraft from coach and ask if Little Baby Matthew can see the pilot. No one can see the pilot in flight. Further, don’t get annoyed with me when I tell you “no” and say “let me guess there’s a charge for that too.” Yes, in fact there is a charge for that. A charge of breeching the flight deck in flight. It comes with numerous years in prison and a hefty fine. Though you will get something free…free pat-downs every time you fly for the rest of your life.

To coach passengers: It’s not okay to come to the first class to use the bathroom “because there’s a line in the back.” If everyone else in your cabin has to wait in line, you do too. You are not anymore important than they are and the rules still apply to you. To the back to the back to the back, back, back!
