Occasionally, airline attendants make
an effort to make the "in-flight
safety lecture" and their other announcements
a bit more entertaining. Here are some real examples that have been heard
or reported:
1. From a Southwest Airlines
employee.... "There may be 50 ways to
leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways out of this airplane..."
2. Pilot-"Folks, we have reached our cruising
altitude now, so I am going to switch the seat belt sign off. Feel free
to move about as you wish, but please stay inside the plane till we land...it's
a bit cold outside, and if you walk on the wings it affects the flight
pattern."
3. After landing: "Thank you for flying
Delta Business Express. We hope you enjoyed giving us the business as much
as we enjoyed taking you for a ride.
4. As the plane landed and was coming to
a stop at Washington National, a lone voice comes over the loudspeaker:
"Whoa, big fella. WHOA!"
5. After a particularly rough landing during
thunderstorms in Memphis, a flight attendant on a Northwest flight announced:
"Please take care when opening the overhead compartments because, after
a landing like that, sure as hell everything has shifted."
6. From a Southwest Airlines employee....
"Welcome aboard Southwest Flight XXX to
YYY. To operate
your seatbelt, insert the metal tab into
the buckle, and pull tight. It works just like every other seatbelt and
if you don't know how to operate one, you probably shouldn't be out in
public unsupervised. In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, oxygen
masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and
pull it over your face. If you have a small child traveling with you, secure
your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are traveling with two small
children, decide now which one you love more...
