Friend:wow malapit na exciting!!!hindi ka ba natatakot sumakay ngayon sa eroplano,kasi ang daming mga aksidente ngayon sa eroplano hindi kaya effect yan ng global warming lol at karamihan daw ng mga eroplano from middle east ay target ngayon ng mga terorista.

Airline Cabin Announcements

All too rarely, airline attendants make an effort to make the in flight 'safety lecture' and announcements a bit more entertaining. Here are some real examples that have been heard or reported:


CONTINENTAL AIRLINES

On a Continental 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.'


JAPAN AIR LINES'

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 traveling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are traveling with more than one small child, pick your favorite.'


BRITISH AIRWAYS'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.'


AMERICAN AIRLINES

Overheard on an American Airlines flight into Amarillo, Texas 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 Amarillo. Please remain in your seats with your seat belts fastened while the Captain taxis what's left of our airplane to the gate!'


QANTAS AIRWAYS

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.'


NORTHWEST AIRLINES

After a particularly rough landing during thunderstorms in Memphis , a flight attendant on a Northwest flight announced, 'Please take care when opening the overhead compartments because, after a landing like that, sure as hell everything has shifted.'


PHILIPPINE AIR LINES

We're now preparing to land at San Francisco International Airport. Kindly straighten up your seats, turn off all electronic gadgets, pull up your window shades and buckle up for safety. We hope you enjoyed flying with us as much as we did.


Sa wikang atin po, tayo po ay papalapag na sa paliparang pangkalawakang internasyonal ng San Francisco. Paalala po lamang sa ating mga kababayan -- ang mga unan, kumot, headset at iba pang kagamitan sa eroplano ay di po kasama sa pasalubong. Huwag po lamang baklasin ang LCD-TV na nakadikit sa silya.

Natawa ako dun sa Japan, Continental at BA airplanes.

Ung isa ko namang friend, lagi daw nyang pinipili e window seat. Bakit? Para daw pag nasuka sya madali nyang mabubuksan ang bintana.

Ang sabi nga ni Richard Gomez sa Family Feud (over GMA 7): Pwede...pwede...

Wow! Ako ay magbabakasyon din sa April. Sana matuloy. U

Nakakatawa naman ang choice of word ng Qantas, "bounces" talaga ha. [Para ring nagdi-describe sila ng masarap na pagkain dito, "beautiful" ang adjective na gamit at hindi delicious. KAHAPON habang nagsisimulang lumakas ang ulan (madalang kasi umulan rito sa Port Wakefield) ang sabi ng kasama ko sa work, "beautiful!" bilang paglarawan sa kanyang kasiyahan. KAPAG naka-achieve sila rito halimbawa ng isang magandang bagay "beautiful" din ang choice of word kapag nagpupuri sa achiever.]

Pero pinaka-ayos talaga ang paalala at anunsiyo sa 'wika natin' ng PAL! Hahaha! May isang sikat ngang Filipino young star na aminadong kumukuha ng mga gamit (toiletries?) sa eroplano. Napanood ko 'yan sa SNN ng TFC.
