That would really screw your commute home wouldn't it?
ReplyDeleteYes, that would screw up the commute home. However …
ReplyDeleteYears ago, commuting home on the jumpseat of what I will refer to as “Plateau Airlines”, smoke started pouring out of the C/B plane behind the cAPTAIN. I immediately pointed out the smoke as well as the airport just ahead of the aircraft.
The cAPTAIN responded ‘oh, it’s been doing that all day. Maintenance will look at it tonight.
Witnessed many incidents on this low bid contractor.
Yes, most of the plane was behind the cAPTAIN, but that should have been ‘panel behind the cAPTAIN’. Something called autocorrect.
