She said when passengers took naps after a meal you almost needed a gas mask in the rear section of the plane where it collected. The long hauls to/from Europe were killers, girls wanted to work 1st & business just to stay out of that hot-zone.

If a full meal service is served on the flight suggest you do not book seats in the "rear" of the plane.


It used to be when they allowed smoking on planes, that they would circulate air through the cabin. Nowadays they don't do that and I feel it leads to more people getting sick because germs stay in the cabin and aren't whisked out and fresh air brought in through the ducts.

Turns out second hand smoke is healthy for you. Who knew?

I only fart in elevaters!

At The Rio...remember a guy got off the elevator fast with a funny look on his face, then I walked in. Soon as the doors closed I knew I was trapped in a fart can. Couldn't hit a floor buttons fast enough to get out of there.

Was that you????


I cannot tell a lie

Very true. And, it's all about the bottom dollar. Everything on a plane is run by the engines. Recirqulating air in a pressurized cabin takes fuel, lots of it. On my little bitty tiny 4 passenger VLJ I can save 10% by dailing back the cabin pressure to minumum.
