Eek. My mate used to work for them, she wasn’t keen in the end but when asked at interview why she thought she would make a good cabin crew member she replied ‘because I look really good in red!’ She does too and got the job!
Thank you I suggested that I drive to Spain in the camper the week before and the girls fly over and meet me somewhere on the coast - still working on it Sent from my BND-L21 using Tapatalk
Wuss! Flying is ace though short haul is a bit dull. We practically had a party on the plane last night... and for some reason none of us flinched at paying £27 for a bottle of Prosecco! It was quite a small plane too, and we made the misery’s sit at the back by the loos!
Yep, as you know I really didn't get on with the flying but I would love a week adventuring down to Spain first. I guess it was the end of the holiday and you have that sod it feeling and want to keep on celebrating, or it was the 5 cocktails you had before getting on the plain Sent from my BND-L21 using Tapatalk
And the Sunday champagne breakfast! Though the flight is only just over six hours, it’s dull but always lovely when you can have a wander down the aisle and chat to folk you met on holiday. We hit quite a lot of turbulence at one point but all the champagne flutes remained full and intact. The cabin crew were very lovely and joining in too and let us keep hold of the Prosecco
it's always worth remembering that the only thing keeping the big heavy plane filled with people up is all those inside BELIEVING it will stay up!
I don't think I had that belief then, especially on the flight out - it didn't help that only one propellor was spinning as we started to taxi Sent from my BND-L21 using Tapatalk
That’s fine, it’s when they ask you all to start pedalling to get the laughing gear up you should worry. Centre of the plane is best in turbulence from my experience, think the back of the plane suffers most (that’s why the miserable buggers get put there, they like summat else to moan about) also alcohol helps too!
There's a flight between Chicago and Colorado Springs that skips over some serious bits of the Rocky mountains, updrafts etc. On those small city hopper planes, in such situations paper bags are almost de-rigueur. There's something about the thermals and storms at certain times of year. It was my one and only time I ever heard the pilot telling the attendants to be seated and get strapped in. Then all I recall is hearing the pilot shouting yeahah, like some wild west hero, as we hit turbulence and dropped like a stone. I walked off the plane shaking, drove to the hotel, how I'll never know, dumped the car, went to the bar and got a very stiff drink.
