[CaptStacey]

Required attire, even in retirement!

[warminator]

Yes sir! Thank you for clearing up the myth of air pockets. I hear people saying "oooohhh, we droped for about 500 meters!" hahaha.

@mphello That's why your stuck in your computer chair, probably weighing in at well over 400 pounds, and still live with your mother. Sound right? :) Live a bit, flying is great.

[SuperShania20]

Pilots are NOT stupid they know what they r doing. I hate flying is there anything to do to help with that?

[mphello]

The entire airline industry is like the entire business of sports:

I have (little) moral objection to either (unlike, say, the meat industry, which tortures animals, or animal testing), but I have ZERO interest in taking part in either.

(I NEVER play sports. And I NEVER fly.)

@fadethetrade hes talking about actual pilots. These guys have thousands of hours of flight time and probably about .00001% of that is spent in chop

What about yetis. I am scared of them. Is there any danger of seeing or striking one in flight?

[210482fmj]

ive always wanted pilots to descend over scenic parts of the flight to lower altitudes. that is somethign we never see anymore. i would love to take an entire filght at lower altitude and sacrifice speed and fuel burn for the sake of closer view. that would be great over the mealy mountains in newfoundland and parts of greenland. maybe airlines should start offering scenicn tour options on some flights.

How come when I fly, my pilot is never like this guy? This guy could convince me that plunging off a 1000 foot cliff is perfectly safe and reasonable...
