Not bad. Better than the boring stuff you usually hear.

Well I know it's a Southwest Flight (recognize the seat colors )
BTW I think this guy did a flight I was on

I just love that.

Hilarious.

I've never been on a SWA flight with this flight attendant but have been on other SWA flights where the pilot, instead of the usual, "Would flight attendants please take their seats" substituted, "Butts in seats, now! We're leaving!"

And another SWA flight where the preflight safety brief for the totally-overland flight included, "In the unexpected event that we crash land in the water reclamation ponds outside St Louis, your seat cushion will act as a flotation device."

On a more serious note, I've been on several flights lately where the pilot announces that we have heroes aboard; one or more military members flying in uniform. And on most of those occasions it's been people coming back from Iraq or Afghanistan, on the last leg home.

those are some good ones Jen!!!



one of my flights back to Newark we had some service people just arriving home from Iraq...the pilot asked everyone to remain seated until they were off the plane....there were 10 of them...one woman went to start getting her crap out of the overhead...EVERYONE GAVE HER A DIRTY LOOK!!!!!!!!(except for the servicepeople ) she sat back down!! as they all walked off the plane we all stood up and clapped...made me very PROUD to be an AMERICAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On a recent Delta flight, as we were preparing to deplane (no Hervé Villechaize jokes, please ...) the flight attendant cautioned us to open the overhead bins carefully, "'because shift happens."

And then there was the Alaska attendant that said "this plane is equipped for a water landing, but only once . . ."

Very cool!!

I've seen that happen, too, where we all kept our seats. About two years ago I also saw a first class passenger request a seat change. He went back to economy and sent a serviceman in uniform to first class. There are still plenty of good people out there!

That is awesome!!!! I would do the same...but i can't afford first class! i would have bought that man a drink!

Southwest is known for interesting and quirky stuff like that.

One time I was flying Southwest out of Sacramento, and as the plane was leaving the ground, the pilot came on and said, "Attention: To the owner of a white Ford Taurus, your lights are on."

Then there's the famous


"if you are traveling with a small child please put your air mask on before helping him or her.
If you are traveling with more then one child, please pick your favorite one now."

or the alternate: If you are taveling with 2 children, put your mask on before helping the smaller one with theirs. Let your husband take care of himself.
