Things they don't tell you about air travel

Whenever I'm on a plane it is about the only time I'm sorry that I live remotely to the most isolated capital city in the world. People complain about the long haul flights to various destinations, well I had to catch a long haul just to get to the long haul connection. It gives you a lot of time to think about the realities of air travel.

1) If things get really bad, the pilots have ejector seats.
They may be called 'captains', but they have no intention of going down with the ship.

2) Unless you are Ralph Fiennes or Tiger Woods you aren't nailing a flight attendant.
Lets face it, flight attendants have standards.

3) First class is a myth. They wouldn't be seen on the same plane as ordinary people.
Rich people are afraid they might catch poor.

4) If you see gremlins on the wing, you have been lucky and received the non-watered down alcohol.
Keep drinking, you might see Elvis and Hendrix.

5) Yes, the seats are deliberately designed for people smaller than you.
Airplane designers were assured that no-one over 180cm and 70 kilos would ever go anywhere.

6) The bookings system takes into account claustrophobia in the seating assignments.
They immediately assign the claustrophobics to seats between the largest people on the flight.

7) People with a fear of flying are catered for.
Their in flight movies are 'Airplane' and 'Alive', plus they are spared from all the turbulence warnings. Comes as a real surprise.
