One time I saw a plane engine suck in a bird in my standard-issue aircraft pyjamas. What he was doing in my standard-issue aircraft pyjamas, I'll never know.

I've fallen asleep on airplanes dozens of times, and never knew I was supposed to have standard-issue aircraft pajamas on. I hope I don't get demerits on my frequent flier miles.

WHY was she wearing the airline's pyjamas? Isn't she richer than Jesus? doesn't she travel with her own pyjamas, woven from the hair of virgin Indian girls?

The first time I flew (aged 22) we had to go back to the terminal because an engine would not "spool up". Since it was my first time flying, I was sitting by the window, a few rows in front of the wing to get the full experience.

Honest injun, a "technician" went into the engine with a rubber mallet in hand, and a roll of duct tape hanging from her belt. Five minutes later we were ready for take-off.

Right after take-off everyone wanted to know what the horrible smell was. . .It was me. I pooped myself.

Oh. My. God. I can't believe they let a woman work on a jet engine.

FTFA: 338 people on board

So it probably had four engines, and certainly had at least two.

You're allowed to panic if your plane only has one engine, otherwise stfu&gbts.

what a moran. she'd rather stay with her kids on a plane that just had an engine failure than go to the terminal with the "little people". jackass.

on another level, i'm laughing because years ago when i worked at pratt and whitney aircraft we used to launch turkeys into running engines on the outside test beds just to see what would happen.

She's actually known by her husband's name and cited as such by even the most obsessive media hacks. She's officially not on the list at all.

So, does anyone know what "standard issue aircraft pajamas" actually are?

I've flown dozens of times in my life, and it always involved sitting in a tiny cramped seat fully clothed.

Another decent joke ruined by not using "preview before post".

She had to hit the starter air valve so it would open and let bypass air down to the starter motor. I had to do this to one of our C130's once. It's not as much fun since there's a large propeller just a few feet away. I don't get worried until the engine shakes the plane during startup or I see a mechanic dumping oil/hydraulic fluid into the reservoirs by the gallon. I've experienced both.

Fletch (Chevy Chase): I'm gonna need some pliers and, uh, a set of 30-weight ball bearings.

Technician Bud: What?

Fletch (Chevy Chase): Yeah, uh... Tell you what. I gotta go to my truck. If Fred gets here before I'm back, you can tell him to start without me.

Technician Willy: What the hell do you need ball bearings for?

Fletch (Chevy Chase): Ah, come on guys... It's so simple. Maybe you need a refresher course. Hey! It's all ball bearings nowadays... Now, you prepare that Fetzer valve with some, uh, 3-in-1 oil and some gauze pads. And I'm gonna need about 10 quarts of antifreeze... preferably Prestone... No... No, make that Quaker State... And wash those windows. They got filth and muck on them.

"The Spice Girl stayed on the cancelled Los Angeles to London flight while the other passengers were taken back to the terminal by bus.

She and the children were ferried back to the building separately and later caught another flight out of LA."


I want to work for a company that deals with celebs so I can deny their outrageous requests with all of the venom and vitriol that they deserve. Sure, I'd get fired after the first time, but it would be so worth it. I'm so sick of people like that getting all of this special treatment. Has she cured cancer with the touch of a finger? No. She was in Spice Girls, for God's sake. That's it!

Why do people still care what she does? What thing of signifigance has she done in the last decade? Why hasn't she died yet?

Don't worry, it'll wipe right off.
