Airplane As Pig Sty

Anyone who has ever flown a long cross country in an airplane knows that the cabin turns into a disorganized mess of charts, water bottles, headsets and snack sacks. Why is that? Give us a good reason and we'll send you a hat.

Cannula for delivering oxygen. Easier to wear than a full mask.

Right... not the normal GA curising altitude in this country (Sweden) and hence not very familiar with the modern gear available. Does look like a huge band aid, not very comfy(?)

Yep. They're for oxygen. We were flying at 14,500 feet at the time.

What the heck are those thingys on their upper lips??! O2-masks??

I should point out that we don't normally store sectionals in the cage above our heads. Paul was trying to reduce glare for some other video. Really.

Even Boeing and Airbus haven't come up with a "more professional" solution to the trash problem. There's hardly a flight deck where there's no plastic bag dangling from the F/O's arm rest.

And throwing it out the window is not an option! ;-)

It makes me wonder why there is not a light weight option for storing/stashing objects infllight. I ride motorcycles regularly and have Givi paniers on my 1200 suzuki and can pack and travel responsibly. Maybe some sort of light weight storage system to retain all of this kind of...Stuff?

Fun keeping track of you guys.

that might be a flight hazard no? lol

the reason that i find that the plane gets messy is due to the fact that you can't leave your seat so you tend to throw stuff behind you. Maps always get placed on the right hand seat (if your flying solo) rather than in the pocket for it. what i find useful is to take a shoe organizer and hang it on the right hand seat back and place the right hand seat forward so that you can reach for all the stuff, rubbish in the bottom food above it and any other stuff stored in the other pockets.

The reason it's a pig sty is because they refuse to throw crap out the window! That's what you get for being a responsible pilot. I hope you're happy! ;)
