Southwest. What’s said in the cockpit stays in the…

quagmire

In March of this year, a Southwest pilot inadvertently broadcast a homophobic tirade of foul mouthed litter from the apparent sanctity of a closed cockpit where he criticises the disproportionally large number of homosexuals working for his airline. He also targets overweight and less youthful cabin crew in a rant that seems to be motivated [...]

vb-elle-uniform

New Grbac Uniform This morning at 10am, Virgin Blue officially unveiled its new uniform to the public at Sydney Tower Westfields after the closely guarded secret was maintained by several thousand staff. Despite the airline crew addiction to social media and extroverted behaviour – as well as a company booklet issued to crew full of [...]

Crew Smoking Dope on a Plane

Forget smoking cigarettes on an aircraft! This video shows what appears to be a Russian pilot and cabin crew smoking marijuana on board an airliner. Despite the fact I’ve seen reports of this as a freight aircraft – like that would make any difference – there are cabin crew, suggesting a passenger service – despite [...]

Aeroflot’s Nude Cabin Crew Calendar

Mother Russia is often heavily scrutinised for its controversial and sexually orientated marketing tactics… by our prudish western standards anyhow.

BA Cabin Crew Takeoff their Clothes!

The Australian and The Sun are reporting on a series of photographs that shows British Airways cabin crew (and flight attendants from other airlines) in sexually suggestive and provocative poses. The images were likely taken by cabin crew with the innocent, naïve and vane purpose of plastering them over their various social networking sites (done [...]

Flying on Christmas Day. What Did Your Airline Do?

What did your airline do for Christmas? If you were a passenger, what did your airline do for you? I was (un?)fortunate enough to be working Christmas night out of Los Angeles bound for Sydney. We had a great cabin crew who all seemed to embrace the Christmas season, so the ambience and mood on [...]

Cabin Crew: Letter Of Apology To The Flying Public

This was just sent to me via email. Interesting. Why is it that people are often so rude to cabin crew? Is it simply the sheer numbers of travelers that exposes a nasty section of society, or is something to do with the environment on board an airliner? Is it that passengers simply don’t understand [...]
