Are people thicker these days?

Pilots and cops, both wear a uniform with scrambled egg on their hats, and stripes on their arms. Pretty difficult to separate, really.

(Only joking, Captain Oveur)

Feelin' the love!

As Flight Attendants make clear every day, no-one gives a fuck about pilots until they do, and then they really give a fuck!!! I will spend my whole career trying to make sure the FAs never really have to give a fuck! Only had a few emergencies, but nothing that I ever felt was life-threatening.

One of the good things about aviation is that it has become so safe that people don't even think about just how outrageous it is.
 
I was at the the till in the supermarket the other day holding my purse, which has a Union Jack on it. Woman serving me saw it and said " Oh how fabulous, you have a Reebok purse, where can I get one ?"......I wasted my breath trying to explain, she had no idea.

I once saw a series called "Diamonds in the Sky" about the history and future of aviation.

It concluded by saying that, in the future, there will be only the pilot and a rottweiler on the flight deck. The pilot to oversee the controls, and the rottweiler to bite him if he went anywhere near them! And yes, I am serious, but don't call me Shirley.

The only question on any pilots mind, at least any pilot with 20 years of flying ahead of him, is whether you would get on a drone? If so, and you would allow someone to simply program an aircraft on the ground all the way to its destination, knowing full well that if a problem occurred there would be no one up there to fix it, then pilots will go the way of lamplighters!

I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue!
