He Did Downward Dog In The Aisle, Sir

Talk to us! Leave us a message, or ask a question?

Ever watched a grown man do yoga and push-ups in an airplane aisle while he blocks the cabin? We did—and that’s just one scene from a wild run that starts with an international first and ends with a sharp talk about money, manners, and respect at 35,000 feet.

We kick off with Shawn’s first real international trip to Athens, where the 787’s picture-window jump seats deliver jaw-dropping views, the van ride eats ninety minutes of life, and a power nap becomes a time warp. Behind the polished first-class curtain, we hit turbulence of a different kind: a long‑tenured teammate who can’t keep pace, a missed van call, and the domino effect that pushes everyone harder. It’s a candid look at crew dynamics, precision service, and how one weak link can turn a smooth flight into a quiet scramble.

Then we zoom out to the bigger question: should wealth change how we treat people? We’ve seen it—stars who are gracious and stars who aren’t, status passengers who get extra care while economy travelers are overlooked, and colleagues who confuse money with importance. We argue for a better standard: consistent kindness, gratitude for invisible labor, and respect that doesn’t depend on a boarding zone. Along the way, we detour through cabin etiquette (no seat‑hopping over people, close the shade when it blinds others), real aviation moments (cracked windshields, cockpit windows popping on the roll), and why de‑escalation—not threats—is the core skill in a pressurized tube.

It’s story-driven, a little chaotic, often funny, and grounded in what makes travel work: teamwork, details, and everyday decency. If you’ve ever wondered what crews really see, or how to be the passenger everyone wants nearby, this one’s for you.

then she put the other galleyinto with the girl, and there
she's like, I hate you, I'mgonna kill you.
And so now she's like, I don'teven have to kill myself, she's
gonna kill me.

SPEAKER_05 (11:54):
See, this is the shit that they don't see because
the big old bucket of suck.

SPEAKER_04 (11:57):
Like, I know everybody that was on the plane,
like the service went wellbecause I was covering stuff and
we were all covering it, andthat so there's four of us up
there taking care of these40-some people, right?
And it it went fine as far as apasture viewpoint, but from a
crew viewpoint, there wasn't oneperson on the crew who was like,
That girl sucks.
Who is she?

(12:18):
Why aren't you like likeeverybody want to kill her?
Now here, like now I need tomake it even worse.
So that's why I needed so muchmore for the show.
So she started complaining aboutthis stuff.
She's complaining about howsomebody stole one of her trips.
Has anybody stole a trip in yourlife in your career?
Nope.
Never, okay?

(12:39):
So she said, I was supposed tobe going to Cape Town and I got
this trip, and I was somebodychanged it, and she stole it
from me and all this stuff.
So then she's so I'm like, uh,things aren't adding up here.
So then next thing she does inthe middle of the night, we're
shifts or we're doing ourbreaks, she falls on her face in
first class, in the in the inthe aisle, like literally trips
over somebody.

(13:00):
I mean, like, crazy.
Okay, then then the next day,we're down at the van, van 755.
Guess when she showed up.

They were gonna lead her, andthen she's like texting, and
then she gets on the van and shewas like, I got a phone call

(13:20):
beforehand.
My somebody died, and dude, itis like one thing after another.
Like, but she got a cell phone,dude.
She was a cell phone.
She was in the elevator, she wasso traumatized that she didn't
even know she could make it.

and she sucks at it.
Yeah.
So she's just getting married.

SPEAKER_04 (14:46):
I'm gonna tell you, maybe because she sucks at it is
why she's getting married, butthere's no reason why any other
male in this world would want tobe with this woman.
But anyway, that that's just myopinion.
But anyway.

Now you've never seen the shit so damn funny,
right?
A whole group of dads, right?
Their hands in their pants.
And they're watching themechanics.
And they're watching mechanics.
You know that wholeconversation.
Uh I I bet you that's uhMilwaukee uh hydraulic jack.
Yeah.
I got one of those at home.
I got one of those.
Yeah.
And now, if it was me, I wouldprobably pull my pickup to the
back of that thing and I justhaul that sucker right out of

(28:14):
here.
And you know something?
I bet you he'll change.
Look at that boy knows what he'sdoing.

Man, I seen those pictures.
And it just, it it was so truehow dads they get together and
they will they will talk aboutany kind of shit like that.

SPEAKER_04 (28:54):
Anything.
Right?
Heck yeah.
If it's male testosteronedriven.

SPEAKER_05 (29:01):
It doesn't even have to be, right?
Right.
You just get a group of guystogether and talk about
something stupid.
Right.
All right, I had a question.
Does does money matter to you?
I know this.
Does it matter to me?
Yeah, it doesn't matter to you.

SPEAKER_04 (29:13):
It makes things easier.

SPEAKER_05 (29:14):
It does, but okay, should people be treated
differently because of money?

SPEAKER_04 (29:19):
No, hell no.

SPEAKER_05 (29:20):
They shouldn't, but they are though, right?
Well, people you see it all thetime.

SPEAKER_04 (29:23):
You do see it on the planks.
You know, like it's funny thatyou say that because it's like
people, people that uh aren'twealthy or don't have much money
and stuff, they tend to treatpeople different that have the
money, you know what I mean?
Right.
But um, you know, once you havesome money, and you don't have
to be ultra rich or anythinglike that, it's like you start

(29:44):
realizing, you know, like it'snot about the money, right?
Right.
I mean, people are people, youjust treat everybody with
dignity and respect.

SPEAKER_05 (29:50):
But in our job, we come across we come across a lot
of people that have a lot ofmoney that you don't know they
have money.
Sure.
And then you get you come acrossthe stars that come on the
plane.
And some of them are reallynice.
Yeah.
And then you get some of theseathletes.
I remember one of the athletes,he made his girlfriend pick his
damn bag up.

SPEAKER_04 (30:07):
Dude, I'm going to tell you, those are the people
that go on my list.
Like, literally, I have there'sa few stars that we've had on
board that have uh like totallyturned me down, turned me off,
man.
Right.
It's like, I mean, they do doshit behavior like that when
you're like treating otherpeople badly like that.

(30:28):
And just because you're a star,I don't got time for that
nonsense.
You know?

SPEAKER_05 (30:32):
That's you know, on the plane, we just had this, and
and um for some reason it's likewhen I watch some crew members
and they see they see someoneand they know that they have
money, all of a sudden they'renice to them.
I'm like, well, how about thatperson over there?
Their money is just asimportant.
Kind of irritates me in a waysometimes because just because

(30:53):
this person has more money, theperson in back that paid for the
ticket, their money is just asimportant as the person's money
up front.
So you should be just as nice tothem as you are to the person in
front.
But they bend over backwards,right?
They come on board, you know,they'll they'll bring their bags
on board.
Everybody does all this extrastuff with somebody that has a

(31:15):
little bit more money thansomebody else, but this other
person, you know, they're like,oh shit, carry your own damn
bag.

SPEAKER_04 (31:22):
Yeah.
Right?
You know, but some of that isthat like, don't you think some
of that is like starstruckstuff?

SPEAKER_05 (31:28):
No, no, I no, I mean, it's not star struck.
They they do it for like certainlevels of like um a person that
you know comes on the planes.
I mean, you know what I'mtalking about.
I mean, we can't say it, butthere there's certain levels
that they come on the planes andthey treat people a certain way.
And and the even the employeesthey bend over backwards for
these people, but it irritatesme because the other people are

(31:50):
just as important.
Yeah, they're just as important.
And it just it it just this weekit just kind of irritated me
because you know, I I seen it somuch in in first class that it
kind of it really did.
It irritated me because I'm youknow, I'm always thinking the
people in back, their money isjust as important.

SPEAKER_04 (32:08):
So are you are you talking about our like our
frequent flyers versus like orare you talking about people
that are come on that are appearto be wealthy type of thing?

SPEAKER_05 (32:18):
Yeah, I mean they they appear to be wealthy, and
and and you know, then some ofthem they know that they're
wealthy and and they treat thema certain way, and I and I get
that, you know, that's what theydo, but you know, they don't
treat the people in the back thesame way.
So I mean I just it I guess itjust irritated me.

SPEAKER_04 (32:34):
The problem is that people don't understand wealth
isn't about money.
No, no, that's the whole thing.
They didn't they don't get itthat that you know they're you
know life the wealth of lifecomes not from money.
No, it comes from us and how wetreat each other and love each
other and all that stuff.
You don't you don't treat peoplebadly just because you they're a

(32:56):
different economic level thanyou.

SPEAKER_05 (32:58):
That pisses me off too, the same thing as like
you'll see a crew member,they'll go to a hotel, right?
You've seen this, they'll let avan driver pick their bag up,
show their bag, they will givethem a damn dollar.
Nothing.
Nothing.
That's crazy.
Pick your own damn bag up then.
You know, you're you're youyou'll bitch on an airplane
about helping somebody, and Iget it because their bags are

(33:19):
heavy, but yet you'll let thisvan driver pick your damn bag
up, and you only give that givethat person a buck.

SPEAKER_04 (33:24):
Yeah.
I'm I'm it's it's one of thosethings is like, you know, just
treat people right, man.
And I don't I don't getstarstruck anymore anymore.
I don't get like like peoplecome on the plane, I'm like,
yeah, okay, they're on theplane.
Like, you know, it ain't itain't a thing like that.
And sometimes I'm like, youknow, oh, this it'd be cool to
have a picture with this personbecause you know I like to take

(33:46):
pictures with that person,right?
But as far as how I treat them,like I treat them no different
than I'm treating you.
Right, you know, yep, and that'snot that great, but it's like so
you know, I let you I let youhave that one.
I know you did.
But anyways, so but it's like,you know, hey, it's uh, you
know, people just being kind toone another.

SPEAKER_05 (34:07):
All right, here's another kind one, right?
Yeah, okay.
So if you're look like you likelooking out the window, I get
it.
Don't get me wrong.
I I I know you do, but when thatsun's coming in and that shit is
beating down on the on thepeople across from you and it's
blinding them, okay, becauseyou're taller, right, the sun
doesn't hit you in the face.
Sure.

(34:28):
But guess what?
It's hitting other people overin the D, E, and F, their eye
sockets are burning out.
Sure.
So even today, just today ithappened.
And this guy was like, look, Iwant to look out the window.
And I said, I I I understandthat.
But see, I want these people tobe able to see for the rest of
their life because that thatfreaking that that sun is

(34:48):
burning their retinals.
We just had this happen.

SPEAKER_04 (34:51):
Like, right before we started recording, we were at
a restaurant, and therestaurant, you know, sun was
coming through the restaurant,and it was just beaming, it was
killing like two, three tablesthere, and the people sitting at
the window, like they were superkind.
Like I was like, man, the sun'sbright.
Is there any way we can closethat?
And they're like, Oh, yeah, letme help you out.
You know, like they weren't mostpeople will be, you know,

(35:12):
understanding.
Right.
But then you got the person thatyou're talking about that's like
put an eye mask on.
Exactly.

that I absolutely loved aboutthe plane that I was on.

She was not like just actingpeculiar.
And she's like, What's thematter?
She's like, I think our I thinkour windows cracked.

SPEAKER_05 (38:32):
It's like it was like it has like three though,
right?
Is it five?

SPEAKER_04 (38:36):
I throw up it's three.
I I have no idea.
Literally, I'm gonna find outthat technically speaking, on
the window, I know it's at leasta double pane, right?
Right.
But um, and it's your hope is asingle pane.
Yeah, it's tempered highlytempered.
And uh uh yeah, but we've hadthat happen so many times.
Spider crack, man.
Planes get the windows hit, theimpact.

SPEAKER_05 (38:57):
We had crazy shit one time.
They uh they we had um had tohave a a window replaced down in
it was like Sarasota.
Yeah.
One of these one of these smalllittle places where you had
contract maintenance.
So they went and replaced it,and then they had that setting
glue that was in it, and it'ssupposed to set it for so many
hours.
Yeah, and and they this is whatI love back then.

(39:19):
This years ago, this is what youlove years ago.
So they they were like, oh,well, we'll you just put some
high speed tape around the thecrevice of it, and it'll be
fine, right?
Right.
So we we we sat there and itdried for like I don't know,
four hours or something likethat.
Supposed to cure for like 12,but they're like, we put ice
speed tape around it, it's youknow, it'd be good.

(39:40):
So we took off and 3M 3M doesmean shit.
We're only going 500 milesacross 500 miles an hour across
the ground.
That's it.
Yeah, so anyway, walked into thecockpit, the whole cockpit
window, the captain's side, wasblack.
The glue, the glue like spreadall into it, right?

(40:01):
It spread all the way up thewindow.
You couldn't even see it.
Did you return?
Yeah.
No, we just kept going.
We got one window, Sean.
Yeah, I'll just lean on thelanding.
Exactly.
It's not like Ace Ventura, youcan put your damn head out the
window, keep driving.

SPEAKER_04 (40:17):
Yeah, dude.

SPEAKER_05 (40:18):
500 miles an hour.
Whoop, there goes your head.

SPEAKER_04 (40:20):
Yeah.
That's funny, like that youmentioned that too, because back
in the day we did a lot ofmaintenance stuff.
Like, we would like sit aroundand wait for whatever needed to
be done, cure or whatever.
Right.
And that's how long the delaywould be, right?
But then today, like, they justtake the plane out of service.
Like, it's like roll it out, geta new plane, bring it in here,

(40:41):
or they just cancel the fight,right?
But none of this uh high-speedtape junk.

SPEAKER_05 (40:48):
So those pilots they descended to 26,000 feet, landed
safely in Salt Lake City, wherethe maintenance team inspected
the damage.
There you go.
Nice little crack in awindshield.

SPEAKER_04 (41:00):
And they probably were like, What the hell were
you doing flying?
Like, are you stupid?

SPEAKER_05 (41:08):
Are you kidding me?
Um okay, so preparing to departMinneapolis for Las Vegas.
That's interesting.
All right, Minneapolis to Vegas.
Interesting crew, uh crowd onthat one.
On Wednesday, when the pilotsuddenly aborted takeoff after a
cockpit window unexpectedlyswung open.

SPEAKER_04 (41:30):
Is that crazy?

SPEAKER_05 (41:31):
Is that crazy?
That shit is nice.
Dude, you're rolling down therunway and all of a sudden,
boom, the window pops open.
Let's see, was that part of ourcheck?

SPEAKER_04 (41:41):
Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 (41:41):
Make sure the window's locked.

SPEAKER_04 (41:43):
Yo, who opened the sunroof?
Like, did you you hit the wrongbutton?
Their sunroof shouldn't be openright now.
Let's see, window lock check.

SPEAKER_05 (41:56):
No need for the fire and rescue.
Don't wait.
We're fine.
We're just running a checklist.
You forgot the window.

SPEAKER_04 (42:01):
The window.
Anyways, so I was asking my wifeabout this.
I'm like, has this everhappened?
She's like, Yeah, this happens.
Like, she goes, It's part of uhour checklist.
We have a checklist that weactually have to they have to
actually pull on their window.
Right.
Because I guess you know, likethe how the windows are slanted
in the cockpit, they're liketilted backward at angles, so

(42:23):
they just like slam back, likeroll back on those tracks real
quick, easy.
Yeah, and so if they're not likelatched and actually physically
click to lock, then they justpop open.
Well, it'd be a good idea.
Yeah, that's a good check.

SPEAKER_05 (42:35):
It's like we do on our doors, right?
Make sure the handle is lockedand doors inward.

SPEAKER_04 (42:40):
Yeah, make sure everything is armed, ready to
go.
Yeah, lock your window.
Lock your lock my check thewindow.

SPEAKER_05 (42:49):
The little bitty thing.
It's the details of matter, man.
I love this next one though.
Tensions escalated when a leadflight attendant accused
passengers of being mean andbelligerent.
No way.
Really?
After locking herself in thegalley and refusing to continue

(43:10):
service, she told the captainshe would call the union and
then announced over the PA thatthe police would meet the
passengers upon arrival.
What?
The police showed up, heard thepassenger sighed, and they
laughed, and they told the crewmembers don't use law
enforcement as a threat.

(43:31):
Good for them.
You know something?
You hear this stupid shit allthe time.

SPEAKER_04 (43:35):
It doesn't happen just with passengers, it happens
with crews, too.

SPEAKER_05 (43:38):
No, that's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_04 (43:39):
I know, like you know, she just like did a little
pout.
She was pouting.
Don't don't talk harsh to me.
You're mean.
You're mean disrespectful,you're belligerent.
You know what?
I don't got time for you.
I'm going to the bathroom.
This is Newark.
Stop it.
Stop that behavior.
I can't do it anymore.
I'm telling the captain.

SPEAKER_05 (43:58):
And we're calling the authorities.
I remember when the guy said Iwas mean.
Where's your lead?
Oh, he's up there.
Go.
It was you.
It was me.
I know.
It was you.
And he was always like, I can'twait to get away.
Oh, hell no.
That guy, that guy was sittingthere.
He dumped that shit on his lap.
He dumped the damn drink on hislap and he tried to blame that
young reserve flight attendant.

SPEAKER_03 (44:19):
Yeah, that's right.

SPEAKER_05 (44:20):
And I watched him dump that shit on his lap.
And he came in there and startedyelling at her, and I was like,
oh no, you ain't doing that.

SPEAKER_04 (44:26):
No, stop it.

SPEAKER_05 (44:26):
No, you ain't doing that.
And then I was being the bigmeanie, right?
I don't like you.

You're mean.
You're not saying nice things.
Where's the lead flightattendant?
Well, he's up there.
Well, I'm gonna go talk to him.
Go talk to him.
I don't care.

SPEAKER_04 (44:41):
He comes talking to me.

SPEAKER_05 (44:42):
Hey, G, uh, G, uh, yeah, give him whatever he
wants.
I don't care.
Because you know something?
It still wasn't the flightattendant's fault.
I watched him dump the shit onhis own lap.
Still.
We get some crazy ass shit.
Yeah, and and you knowsomething?
I'm the first one to apologize.
If I did something wrong, if Ihurt somebody, if I bumped

(45:04):
somebody, if I did something,but when these people just they
take advantage of a situation,yeah, that's just irritating.

SPEAKER_04 (45:11):
That's totally irritating, man.
I'm just like, and and you knowwhat?
Here there's a lot of reasonswhen we like we do do stuff on
the plane.
Like I do spill shit on people.
I do, you know, like we havesome the seats broken or
whatever happens about likethat's not like we've, you know,
it's our fault as a company,whatever, and all this stuff,
and we usually compensate forthat and all that stuff.

(45:33):
But but when you're trying tomake shit up, and then you you
know, and you've done it and weknow you did it.
Don't be on Shawnee's like Don'tbe on because we're gonna get
real.
You're gonna get it real.

SPEAKER_05 (45:44):
You're just gonna get a response that that is
real, right?
Especially when when we seenwhen we seen what you did.

SPEAKER_04 (45:51):
But I you know in the story, back to this little
story about this gal lockingherself in the lab.
It's like I wanna the what thedetails are not in the story.
Like, how senior is this girl?
Like, this doesn't sound like asenior flight.
This sounds like a newbie.

SPEAKER_05 (46:06):
I don't know shit.
We talked about a 39-year-old,we talked about a 39-year flight
attendant, don't know shit on aninternational flight, so it
don't have to be a newbie.

SPEAKER_04 (46:16):
Well, I don't I'm just um even this 39-year-old, I
don't think she would act likethis.
Like, like to this behavior.
She was just like, she wasaloof.
Like she was she's more like, Idon't know my job.
I still don't know my job afterthat.
I don't know how she passesrecurring training.
You need to go talk somebody.
Like in an emergency, that beain't not gonna be my first

(46:38):
go-to.

SPEAKER_05 (46:39):
They're the number one thing for a flight attendant
is called de-escalation.
Right.
Right?
Not escalation, de-escalation.
Yeah, no problems in a tube.
No.

SPEAKER_04 (46:52):
Don't pout and go in the bathroom.

SPEAKER_05 (46:54):
And don't call the police for something stupid.

SPEAKER_04 (46:56):
Yeah, don't make yourself look stupid.
That's newbie.

SPEAKER_05 (47:00):
I don't know.
You know something?
If if me and you called thepolice, it would only be to
clean up.
It would because you know, okay,seriously, uh, you know, we
de-escalate most of the time.
All the time.
Right?
But if if if the police wereinvolved after during flight,

(47:20):
yeah, it'd be clean up.
It's clean up.

SPEAKER_04 (47:23):
