Life @ 20,000 feet.

returning from a flight to trivandrum..sitting in the crew coach..
cabin crew sitting in front arguing.
1 turns around and asks..
"captain, there are some aircraft with a 3rd engine in the tail nah?"
me: yes.
she:"why does fire come out of it? does it make the aircraft go faster?"
me < speechless at first..then >: that my dear is wats called an afterburner..n tats used only in fighter jets.NOT in commercial aircraft.

during a flight to chennai..when i get into the aircraft..
a cabin attendant comes up..
she:captain, what can i get u once we take off?
me:nothing. just the regular bottle of water will be fine.
she:yes captain, i know why.you want to lose wt right? the best way to do tat is do exercise like this..
< after which she proceeded to bend over n touch her toes >
me:< speechless again.. > pls m'am..we can discuss this sometime later..right now i have work in the cockpit.
later during transit at chennai..she walks in..
she:captain..can i tell u a PJ?
me:pls do..
she:3 sardars..1 says"i fell down frm a building when i was small"...2nd asks"aila..did u survive or die frm tat fall???".. 3rd replies.."how silly!!! how will he rem now.. he was small then nah!"
me: < speechless yet again..yes...im a slow learner!!> thanks..now how abt tat sandwich i wanted??

after 4 sectors to mangalore and chennai..
i come out of the cockpit to find my flight bag missing from the overhead cabin.
i ask the ground staff abt it. they say the cabin crew keeps track of tat.
i ask the attendant abt it.
she:captain..mebbe the staff at chennai took it. thinkin it belongs to no1. or mayb a passenger took it.
me: < not this time!!!!> really? well then.. i guess i must lodge a written complaint against u gals for not making sure it remained where i last left it.
she: captain pls!!! dont be angry.. it was just a joke.. its under the seats in row3.


to sum up..yes.. the "flying models" as mallya likes to call them.. do provide a welcome respite from the daily sodomy im subjected to in the cockpit by the commanders.
