Got an emil thought I would share it with you. it's very funny.
All too rarely, Australian airline attendants make an effort to make the
in-flight safety lecture" and their other announcements a bit more
entertaining. Here are some real examples that have been heard or reported:
On an Air NZ Flight with a very "senior" flight attendant crew, the pilot
said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we've reached cruising altitude and will be
turning down the cabin lights. This is for your comfort and to enhance the
appearance of your flight attendents."
--------------
On landing the hostess said, "Please be sure to take all your belongings.
If you're going to leave anything, please make sure it's something we'd
like to have."
--------------
"There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways to
leave the aircraft."
--------------
As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at Auckland, a lone voice
came over the loudspeaker: "Whoa, big fella. WHOA!"
--------------
After a particularly rough landing during thunderstorms in Adelaide, a
flight attendant on a Qantas flight announced, "Please take care when
opening the overhead compartments because, after a landing like that, sure
as f*** everything has shifted."
--------------
From a Qantas employee: "Welcome aboard Qantas Flight XXX to YYY.
To operate your seat belt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull
tight. It works just like every other seat belt; and, if you don't know how
to operate one, you probably shouldn't be out in public unsupervised."
--------------
"In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, masks will descend from
the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If
you have a small child travelling with you, secure your mask before
assisting with theirs. If you are trav elling with more than one small
child, pick your favourite.
--------------
"Weather at our destination is 32 degrees with some broken clouds, but
we'll try to have them fixed before we arrive. Thank you, and remember,
nobody loves you, or your money, more than Qantas Airlines."
--------------
"Your seat cushions can be used for flotation; and in the event of an
emergency water landing, please paddle to shore and take them with our
compliments."
--------------
"Should the cabin lose pressure, oxygen masks will drop from the overhead
area. Please place the bag over your own mouth and nose before assisting
children... or other adults acting like children."
--------------
--------------
Another flight attendant's comment on a less than perfect landing:
"We ask you to please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the
terminal."
--------------
An airline pilot wrote that on this particular flight he had hammered his
ship into the runway really hard. The airline had a policy which required
the first officer to stand at the door while the passengers exited, smile,
and give them a "Thanks for flying United.
"He said that, in light of his bad landing, he had a hard time looking the
passengers in the eye, thinking that someone would have a smart comment.
Finally everyone had got off except for an old lady walking with a cane.
She said, "Sonny, mind if I ask you a question?" "Why no Ma'am," said the
pilot. "What is it?"
The little old lady said, "Did we land or were we shot down?"
--------------
After a real crusher of a landing in Sydney, the Flight Attendant came on
with, "Ladies and Gentlemen, please remain in your seats until Capt. Crash
and the Crew have brought the aircraft to a screeching halt against the
gate. And, once the tire smoke has cleared and the warning bells are
silenced, we'll open the door and you can pick your way through the
wreckage to the terminal."
--------------
Part of a flight attendant's arrival announcement: "We'd like to thank you
folks for flying with us today. And, the next time you get the insane urge
to go blasting through the skies in a pressurised metal tube, we hope
you'll think of Qantas."
--------------
A plane was taking off from Mascot Airport. After it reached a comfortable
cruising altitude, the captain made an announcement over the intercom,
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking.
Welcome to Flight Number XYZ, non-stop from Sydney to Auckland.
The weather ahead is good and, therefore, we should have smooth and
uneventful flight. Now sit back and relax - ****! ARGHHH! OH, MY GOD!"
Silence followed and after a few minutes, the captain came back on the
intercom and said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I am so sorry if I scared you
earlier, but, while I was talking, the flight attendant brought me a cup of
coffee and spilled the hot coffee in my lap.
You should see the front of my pants!" A passenger in Economy said,"That's
nothing. He should see the back of mine!"
