Here are 10 secrets that flight attendants didn't want you to know.
These were all quoted directly from pilots and flight attendants in the industry.
1.
"Mobile electronic devices won't really bring an airplane down but they can be really
annoying to pilots.
Just imagine sitting in the flightdeck descending to your destination and hearing the interference
of a 100+ cellphones picking up a signal.
I have missed a clearance or two that way."
2.
"A lot of freight gets shipped on commercial flights.
One of these items were always called HR on the radios.
HR was an abbreviation for 'Human Remains.'
Some people die far away from where they want to get buried.
They're packed in wood-framed boxes, so you would never know what was inside except
by the strange shape of them."
3.
"When a plane is landing at night, they dim the interior lights in case you need to
evacuate upon landing… your eyes are already adjusted to the darkness so you'll be able
to see better once outside the plane."
4.
"One thing I cannot stress enough is how your pets are treated.
While your airline will take the best possible actions, some things cannot be avoided, like
the noise on the ramp.
I cannot stand out there without ear protection, and imagine your pet sitting out there on
the ramp waiting to be loaded onto the plane being exposed to the same amount of noise
I am.
Please people, think twice before flying your pets."
5.
"When a passenger is disgustingly rude to check-in staff, they would put him in an area
circled with children.
Do not piss your check-in staff off, they will smile politely as they return your boarding
pass and you will never know the hell that awaits you."
6.
"I absolutely took a passenger's phone number and we absolutely met up once I was
off work.
No regrets there, but normally we're definitely never interested in the passengers romantically."
7.
"I only saw someone having sex in the lavatory once.
They apologized.
I gave them a talking to.
It was over.
I think if they had known how filthy those bathrooms really are, they wouldn't have
done it to begin with."
8.
"People don't know we accept tips.
If you offer me a gift, or even your used magazines, it's appreciated, and I'll
see what I can do to take care of you!"
9.
"You know that first class line at security?
Yeah, thats an airline thing, not TSA.
Economy passenger?
TSA doesn't care.
Step right up."
10.
"We only get paid when the main cabin door is closed.
I make less than 20K a year.
This is common."
