On a Qantus Flight with a very "senior" flight attendant crew,
the pilot said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we've reached cruising altitude
and will be turning down the cabin lights. This is for your comfort and to
enhance the appearance of your flight attendants."
_____
On landing the hostess said, "Please be sure to take all your belongings.
If you're going to leave anything, please make sure it's something we'd like
to have."
_____
"There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways
to leave the aircraft."
_____
"Thank you for flying Qantas. We hope you enjoyed giving us the business
as much as we enjoyed taking you for a ride."
_____
As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at Canberra, a lone voice came
over the loudspeaker: "Whoa, big fella. WHOA!"
_____
After a particularly rough landing during thunderstorms in Adelaide, a flight
attendant on a Qantas flight announced, "Please take care when opening
the overhead compartments because, after a landing like that, sure as f#&%
everything has shifted."
_____
From a Qantas employee: "Welcome aboard Qantas Flight XXX to YYY. To
operate your seat belt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight.
It works just like every other seat belt; and, if you don't know how to operate
one, you probably shouldn't be out in public unsupervised."
_____
In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, masks will descend from
the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If
you have a small child travelling with you, secure your mask before assisting
with theirs. If you are travelling with more than one small child, pick your
favourite.
_____
Weather at our destination is 50 degrees with some broken clouds, but we'll
try to have them fixed before we arrive. Thank you, and remember, nobody loves
you, or your money, more than Qantas Airlines."
_____
"Your seat cushions can be used for flotation; and in the event of an
emergency water landing, please paddle to shore and take them with our compliments."
_____
"Should the cabin lose pressure, oxygen masks will drop from the overhead
area. Please place the bag over your own mouth and nose before assisting children...
or other adults acting like children."
_____
"As you exit the plane, make sure to gather all of your belongings.
Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants.
Please do not leave children or spouses."
_____
And from the pilot during his welcome message: "Qantas airlines is pleased
to have some of the best flight attendants in the industry. Unfortunately,
none of them are on this flight!"
_____
Heard on Qantas Airlines just after a very hard landing in Hobart: The flight
attendant came on the intercom and said, "That was quite a bump, and
I know what you are all thinking. I'm here to tell you it wasn't the airline's
fault, it wasn't the pilot's fault, it wasn't the flight attendant's fault...
it was the asphalt!"
_____
Overheard on a Qantas flight into Perth, on a particularly windy and bumpy
day: During the final approach, the Captain was really having to fight it.
After an extremely hard landing, the Flight Attendant said, "Ladies and
Gentlemen, welcome to Perth. Please remain in your seats with your seat belts
fastened while the Captain taxis what's left of our airplane to the gate!"
_____
Another flight attendant's comment on a less than perfect landing: "We
ask you to please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal."
_____
An airline pilot wrote that on this particular flight he had hammered his
ship into the runway really hard. The airline had a policy which required
the first officer to stand at the door while the Passengers exited, smile,
and give them a "Thanks for flying Qantas." He said that, in light
of his bad landing, he had a hard time looking the passengers in the eye,
thinking that someone would have a smart comment. Finally everyone had gotten
off except for a little old lady walking with a cane.
She said, "Sonny, mind if I ask you a question?" "Why no Ma'am,"
said the pilot. "What is it?" The little old lady said, "Did
we land or were we shot down?"
_____
After a real crusher of a landing in Sydney, the Flight Attendant came on
with, "Ladies and Gentlemen, please remain in your seats until Capt.
Crash and the Crew have brought the aircraft to a screeching halt against
the gate. And, once the tire smoke has cleared and the warning bells are silenced,
we'll open the door and you can pick your way through the wreckage to the
terminal."
_____
Part of a flight attendant's arrival announcement: "We'd like to thank
you folks for flying with us today. And, the next time you get the insane
urge to go blasting through the skies in a pressurized metal tube, we hope
you'll think of Qantas."
_____
A plane was taking off from Mascot Airport. After it reached a comfortable
cruising altitude, the captain made an announcement over the intercom, "Ladies
and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Welcome to Flight Number xyz,
non-stop from Sydney to Auckland. The weather ahead is good and, therefore,
we should have smooth and uneventful flight. Now sit back and relax - OH,
MY GOD!" Silence followed and after a few minutes, the captain came back
on the intercom and said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I am so sorry if I scared
you earlier; but, while I was talking, the flight attendant brought me a cup
of coffee and spilled the hot coffee in my lap. You should see the front of
my pants!" A passenger in Coach said, "That's nothing. He should
see the back of mine!"
