AIRLINES

 

 Ok, so I used to work for the airlines.. Great job, loved it.

But I realized early on that people checked their brains with the luggage.

Flying is foreign to most people. They come to the airport and have no idea where they are supposed to go, where they are or half the time where they are intending to go.

So it shouldn’t be a big surprise that when irregular operations occur, you get stupid people. Example, I am in a western state and it is having a major blizzard..So, we close the airport and try to re-book everyone.. One particular bright lady comes up and says..”Well, is it snowing on the runway?” my answer..”No, God parted it like the Red Sea.. Go give it a shot, flap your arms and see how fast you go..”

How long has it been since we banned smoking on flights? I get one genius who wants to set in the smoking section.. I said sure, as I processed his boarding pass. “Here are your seats, located on the wing where you can view the latest movie, “Gone with the Wind”… Really?

Another lady calls on the phone, “I’m leaving for Boston three weeks from Sunday, is it going to rain that day?” Seriously?  So I say, “Let me give you that number to call. Have a pen handy? Ok..I-800- GOD ! !  Do I look like a meteorologist?

Don’t get me wrong, 98% of the passengers are awesome.. It’s the other 2% that really make me question breeding…
