Was flying the super short sector to Mangalore and back tday..
monsoon maybe late.. but its here.. no doubt abt THAT.
predictably, we were flying in clouds throughout, and there were certain patches that were a little rough(ok, maybe the passengers will beg to differ..),
but at times, being on time, takes precedence over providing a super smooth flight.
So as long as its safe, at times, we do fly through moderate turbulence.
now the thing abt turbulence is, as long as you're seated, the effect on the human body, is far less, as compared to when you're trying to walk along the aisle.. balancing meals, tea, coffee and other assorted paraphernalia in your hand..
so after landing in mangalore, 1 of the crew girls walks in..
"captain, will it be turbulent on the way back too?"
me:"pretty much. should be the same as our ride to mangalore"
crew:"oh, it was too turbulent captain. i felt very sick and puked"
me:"really? im sorry to hear that. but expect it be the same on the way back too. so try and not walk around when it gets turbulent. we will try to avoid turbulence as much as possible"
the girl closes the cockpit door and walks out. all this while the captain was busy signing some papers. so he looks at me for an explanation.
me:"she felt sick becuz of the turbulence. seems she puked during our ride in"
captain:" turbulence? was it that bad? who knows, maybe she felt sick becuz shes pregnant or something!"
