some how goes through that microphone and comes out the speakers as..

"Everyone up and RUSH THE DOOR, IMMEDIATELY, HURRY UP, PUSH AND SHOVE EVERYONE, EVERYONE RUN!!!! DO EVERYTHING YOU HAVE TO DO TO GET ON BOARD AS FAST AS YOU CAN... THIS IS THE LAST HELICOPTER OUT OF VIETNAM!!!!!!!!!!!!"




So as the Captain explains, "Ladies and gentleman, we were just informed by the crew of the inbound flight that the aircraft has a mechanical issue and our Maintenance department is looking at the issue right now and will give us an estimated time for it to be fixed. As soon as they give it to us I'll pass it along to you."

Passenger hears: "This airlines crappy pilots broke the plane. Their mechanics don't know how to fix it and probably aren't there. I'm going to be late. Really late. This sucks."

Deadheading Bucking Bar hears: "MD-88."



Although knock on wood, the 88 has been very good, I do celebrate when the 90 gives us a headache free flight.

Some of us lowly "express" guys try and look good, but when you see guys at mainline look like that, it sets a bad example.
