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 out
Nervous? Hah! NERVOUS?! Forget it! I am not the least tiny little
BIT nervous about engaging in air travel these days!!
Why even as I write these words, I am boldly sitting in a jet-powered
commercia l airplane, and I am cool as a cucumber. This is because we
are on the ground at the famous Atlanta airport, which means we will
all be dead from starvation long before we take off, because there are
1,450 aircraft ahead of us, includin g a number of biplanes still
awaiting clearance to participate in World War I.
Sitting next to me are two pilots whose flight was canceled. I am not
making this up. They work for Eastern Airlines, one of a growing
group of airlines that, as far as I can tell, do not actually own any
airplanes. What they own is a large, modern and superbly maintained
fleet of excuses for why your flight has been canceled. It's a real
thrill to watch the gate crews for these airlines swing into action as
departure time approaches:
"Ladies and gentlemen," the gate agent proudly announces, "the excuse
for canceling Flight 219 is now arriving on our computer screen."
Right on time!
The aspiring passengers cluster around and watch with nervous
excitement 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 aspiring
passengers, shaking their heads in wonderment at how far commercial
aviation has come in just their own lifetimes, wander off to look for
a 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 of
identification is allowed to operate an airline, and alarming things
can happen to the occasional flight that actually becomes airborne, as
evidenced by recent news reports of planes whose engines were turned
off 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 navigational
error, on the Lost Continent of Atlantis; etc.
But what really bothers me is the pilots. When I was a boy, all the
pilots were much older than I am, but in recent years there has been a
disturbing trend -- you may have noticed this -- toward pilots MY OWN
AGE. I happen to be my own age, and I would never place a person such
as myself in a position of responsibility. I live in constant fear
that one day I'm going to get on an airplane, and there in the
cockpit, wearing a uniform and frowning at the instruments, will be
somebody I went to high school with, somebody like Billy Kirkwood, who
once, 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 to
have a little sticker made up: YOU CAN CHECK MY LUGGAGE WHEN YOU PRY
MY COLD, DEAD FINGERS OFF THE HANDLE. Everybody feels this way.
Everybody carries everything on board. You see people stuffing
Barcaloungers into the overhead r acks.
TRUE ANECDOTE: Recently the remains of Pvt. Eddie Slovik, the only
American executed for desertion during World War II, were supposed to
be flown via TWA from New York, N.Y., to Detroit, Mich., so naturally
they wound up in San Francisco, Calif. This really happened.
Fortunately somebody managed to track Pvt. Slovik down before he
earned 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 water
before we crash," the flight attendant is saying, "you can use your
complimentary snack to repel sharks."
Next to me, the Eastern pilots -- one of whom is, no question about
it, YOUNGER than I am -- are looking at the little safety card from
the 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 the
plane floating perkily on top of the water, like a giant inflatable
pool 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 a
boat flies."
Finally, days later, we take off. The pilot is talking on the
intercom.
"Folks," he is saying, "on behalf of your entire flight crew, let me
just 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.
