Magistr8 0 #5 April 8, 2002 Here is an e-mail I got a while back about a guy who is very bitter with the airlines and managed to post this on his company BB.Check this outNervous? Hah! NERVOUS?! Forget it! I am not the least tiny littleBIT nervous about engaging in air travel these days!!Why even as I write these words, I am boldly sitting in a jet-poweredcommercia l airplane, and I am cool as a cucumber. This is because weare on the ground at the famous Atlanta airport, which means we willall be dead from starvation long before we take off, because there are1,450 aircraft ahead of us, includin g a number of biplanes stillawaiting clearance to participate in World War I.Sitting next to me are two pilots whose flight was canceled. I am notmaking this up. They work for Eastern Airlines, one of a growinggroup of airlines that, as far as I can tell, do not actually own anyairplanes. What they own is a large, modern and superbly maintainedfleet of excuses for why your flight has been canceled. It's a realthrill to watch the gate crews for these airlines swing into action asdeparture time approaches:"Ladies and gentlemen," the gate agent proudly announces, "the excusefor canceling Flight 219 is now arriving on our computer screen."Right on time!The aspiring passengers cluster around and watch with nervousexcitement as the gate agent frowns at the computer, then says:"Flight 219 has been canceled because of . . .(Dramatic pause)" . . . MAYONNAISE IN THE GYROSCOPE!"Ha ha! A new one! What will they think of next? The aspiringpassengers, shaking their heads in wonderment at how far commercialaviation has come in just their own lifetimes, wander off to look fora working vending machine.Not that I am complaining about being stuck on the ground. No,because the aviation industry is operating under a new policy called"deregulation," under which anybody who can produce two forms ofidentification is allowed to operate an airline, and alarming thingscan happen to the occasional flight that actually becomes airborne, asevidenced by recent news reports of planes whose engines were turnedoff when they were not in direct personal contact with the ground;planes taking off without important mechanical parts such as wings;planes bound for Lexingoton, Ky., but landing, due to navigationalerror, on the Lost Continent of Atlantis; etc.But what really bothers me is the pilots. When I was a boy, all thepilots were much older than I am, but in recent years there has been adisturbing trend -- you may have noticed this -- toward pilots MY OWNAGE. I happen to be my own age, and I would never place a person suchas myself in a position of responsibility. I live in constant fearthat one day I'm going to get on an airplane, and there in thecockpit, wearing a uniform and frowning at the instruments, will besomebody I went to high school with, somebody like Billy Kirkwood, whoonce, at the Halloween Dance, on purpose, set fire to his own hair.And let's not even TALK about what happens to luggage. I'm going tohave a little sticker made up: YOU CAN CHECK MY LUGGAGE WHEN YOU PRYMY COLD, DEAD FINGERS OFF THE HANDLE. Everybody feels this way.Everybody carries everything on board. You see people stuffingBarcaloungers into the overhead r acks.TRUE ANECDOTE: Recently the remains of Pvt. Eddie Slovik, the onlyAmerican executed for desertion during World War II, were supposed tobe flown via TWA from New York, N.Y., to Detroit, Mich., so naturallythey wound up in San Francisco, Calif. This really happened.Fortunately somebody managed to track Pvt. Slovik down before heearned a Frequent Flier bonus trip to the F ar East.Meanwhile, here in the Atlanta airport, we are getting our Safety Lecture."In the unlikely event that we make it as far as a body of waterbefore we crash," the flight attendant is saying, "you can use yourcomplimentary snack to repel sharks."Next to me, the Eastern pilots -- one of whom is, no question aboutit, YOUNGER than I am -- are looking at the little safety card fromthe barf-bag pocket, and they are LAUGHING at it. This is the truth.I ask them what is so funny, and they point to the diagram of theplane floating perkily on top of the water, like a giant inflatablepool toy, while the passengers alertly rescue th emselves."You mean the plane won't do that?" I ask."Listen," one of them says. "This plane floats about as well as aboat flies."Finally, days later, we take off. The pilot is talking on theintercom."Folks," he is saying, "on behalf of your entire flight crew, let mejust say that I am setting fire to my hair."I hope the beverage cart gets here soon.Who ever said comming down from a high was bad, never tried this.Peter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
