More Plane stuff

I’m not done with the whole airplane thing. I actually wrote this while I flew the other day, a short trip Milwaukee-Louisville. Now there’s probably a line of jokes for that itself, but I don’t want to explore that right now.

First of all a quick note about the wheels, they put these up too fast. I’m not totally sure we are done with them, what if we have to land again real fast, they could be helpful. They should stay down until we are at least 2 or 3 thousand feet high. I mean what’s the hurry

Next, I noticed the flight attendant( by the way they are not stewardesses anymore for some reason) was reading the safety information about the plane off a card. By the way again, I chuckled when she brought up the aisle lights. Now the lady that is reading the safety stuff off the card is the same lady that closed the door on the plane. First of all, that’s a man’s job. Not to be chauvinistic, but wouldn’t you feel better about the whole door thing if a man closed it. Well I would and that’s my opinion. I’d also feel better about it if the lady, that was conveying the safety information actually knew it and wasn’t reading it. So let me get this straight, if there is an emergency she would get out her cheat sheet and instruct everyone what to do, because with the exception of me, for material purposes only, and one anal person on the plane no one else even listened.

More on the door, the flight was delayed for 15 minutes to replace the seal on it, pretty sure that was done by a man also. But when we get on the plane the pilot said the delay would not make us late. He said we had a tailwind that would help us make up the time. Just so I’m clear on this, the wind was blowing from Milwaukee towards Louisville and that enabled us to make up 15 minutes on a 1 hour flight. Why didn’t he just say he put the pedal to the metal. How dumb has America gotten? And if he could just makeup this time why don’t they just fly as fast as they can everywhere? Probably because layovers would be longer, huh.

Now comes the drink service, why can’t I have the whole can of coke? They ask you afterwards if you want another one. I say no I want the rest of the one I already had. Well scratch that, she just gave me the whole can, now I’m confused. They also serve chocolate chip cookies on this plane, not pretzels. Now that’s a much sweeter deal, literally. Get this not only did she offer me the can but she asked me if I wanted 2 cookies. She likes me I think, not that way, but when I got on the plane I commented about how there were more people on the plane than there were coming. I said “More people leave this place than come here.” I didn’t think much of it, but it struck her funny bone and she laughed like someone was holding her down and tickling her. OK the plane descending and I’m just rambling.
