Mermaids, Mountain Dew, and the Case of the Toilet iPhone

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

Ever watched a cabin flip from reunion chaos to pin‑drop quiet at 30,000 feet? We have—and we’re unpacking how it happens, why sit time wears crews down more than flying, and what old‑school service looked like when carving roasts in the aisle was just Tuesday. This week we trade stories from the jumpseat: a 6 a.m. group that wouldn’t lower their volume until they did, the passenger who slept with eyes wide open, and the unforgettable “toilet phone” moment that made a compelling case for cloud backups and gloves.

We also zoom out to the systems that shape our days. Pilot pay now rivals top medical salaries, and we talk frankly about skill, responsibility, and the gap between cockpit and cabin. Safety stays front and center: a regional return after pressurization failure, oxygen masks you should never pull unless told, and the reason your seatbelt matters most on taxi when sudden stops can throw anyone off their feet. On the ground, AI cuts thousands of admin roles at a major carrier—a signal to future‑proof your skills before automation finds your desk.

Between the heavy and the hilarious, we share the tools and rituals that keep us sane: layover hotel room checks that actually catch what housekeeping missed, Barkeeper’s Friend for flawless stainless, Fels‑Naptha for stubborn shirts, and starch strategies for crisp lines without flakes. We chase wonder, too—mermaid myths, the green flash that cameras catch at sunset, and tall fishing tales next to a clip of a truly massive tuna gliding by a rig. Plus, a cultural curveball: Mountain Dew started life as a whiskey mixer, and yes, the crew‑approved cocktail list practically writes itself.

Ride along for real crew life—the grit, the jokes, the tiny decisions that make flights safer and smoother. If you laughed, learned something, or just felt seen, tap follow, share with a travel‑obsessed friend, and drop us a review with your best flight tip or myth we should test next.

SPEAKER_02 (00:22):
Dude, yes, it's terrifying.
But hold up, here's what Ireally want to know.

Millions of Tay Tay crazinessgoing on.
I mean, you know, the themarketing genius of that woman

(01:52):
is just freaking unbelievable.
I wish I wish we had like a oneone hundredth of a percent on
our show.

SPEAKER_02 (01:59):
Well, first of all, we'd have to be able to sing.

SPEAKER_03 (02:02):
Well, we don't need to shing.
I'm talking about the marketing.

SPEAKER_02 (02:04):
I don't care.
We'd have to do something.

SPEAKER_03 (02:06):
She had a build up to it.
Right.
Then she had a um she had athree-day launch movie.
So it was just a movie just forthe fucking launch.
And then then she eventually,and then she had like X like
serious and everything.
They had like a build-up for awhole entire week, a countdown
on a special station just forher.

(02:28):
It's insane, man.
I mean, they got all kinds ofstuff.
It was like the anticipation andthe build-up and everything.
That's what we should do.
She's got a following though.

SPEAKER_02 (02:38):
Build up to the mom, your mom's following us right
now.
So number one fan.
Hey, that's okay.
I'll take one.

SPEAKER_03 (02:45):
Yeah, that's right.
She loves you, G.
You gotta start somewhere.
Right.
So, anyways, man, uh, dude, I'vebeen, you know, it's been going
crazy a little bit for me.
I'm I went on a few trips andstuff, and uh, I encountered
this uh, I was talking to thiscrew member about these, you
know, like the reserves outthere and that and like how

(03:05):
they, you know, life and allthis stuff, and they were
telling me about this trip thatthey're doing, and I was like, I
can't believe the shit thatthese reserves get.
That is so crazy insane.
Like, I don't remember us everhaving to fly like this crazy,
but they had a pairing, athree-day pairing put together,
which for everybody out theredoesn't know what pairing is,
that's where our trip that we goon, and then it was three days,

(03:28):
and then right in the middle ofthe second day, they they get
up, they're in like they doSanta Ana to San Francisco, they
sit for three and a half hours,and then they do San Francisco
to Panama, which is a seven anda half hour flight.

(03:48):
In flight initiation.
Shit happens, man.
I mean, literally, they'rethey're sitting around for a
good almost five hours, youknow, doing one flight before,
five hours before they actuallydo this long ass flight.
What is that?
That is a long ass day.

SPEAKER_02 (04:04):
Okay, what is the biggest bullshit about pairings?
Sit time.
Sit time.

SPEAKER_03 (04:10):
We don't care about flying, right?
We don't.
The second that that we put thatin our they put them into
contracts on any airline whereyou know you start getting paid
for sit time, poof, gone.
Right.
It's amazing.
It's pairing parameters.
Yeah.
All of a sudden they theydisappear.
Yeah.
All of a sudden, oh, we don'thave time to sit around because
we're not gonna pay you to sitaround.

(04:31):
You know a perfect example ofthat?
What's that?

SPEAKER_02 (04:33):
Well, your your wife, Carol.
What's that?
Okay, I I'm doing a Denver termthe other day.
Oh, yeah.
I take the Denver flight out inthe morning.
My ass is sitting out there foralmost four freaking hours, and
guess who comes and picks me up?
Carol.
Yep.
Yeah.
And does she have sit time?

SPEAKER_03 (04:49):
She was complimenting about that.

SPEAKER_02 (04:50):
Nope.

SPEAKER_03 (04:51):
Nope.
She literally flew in, turnedthe plane around, did a little
walk on the concourse, got alittle sandwich.
Got a little sandwich and backon her on her way.
Yeah, it's bullshit.
She sat there.

SPEAKER_02 (05:03):
No, I mean, because that's exactly the way it's
supposed to be.
If they got that in theircontract, right?
Hopefully, you know, we're gonnaget that straightened out in
ours.
But the biggest bullshit thingin flight attendants' lives are
sit time.

SPEAKER_03 (05:16):
Just sitting around airports.
If you love people watching,this is your job because you're
sitting around doing it all daylong.

SPEAKER_02 (05:24):
Right.
The biggest the biggest thing welove to do is turn and burn.
That's it.

SPEAKER_03 (05:27):
Turn and burn.

SPEAKER_02 (05:28):
Let's get it done.

SPEAKER_03 (05:28):
Yeah, we get it we get on the plane, get it, yeah,
pick them up, yep, take them anddrop them off.
Yeah.
Anyways, man, they I was also uhlike reminiscent about our
service like the other daybecause we were talking about
these new hires.
I was flying with this wholecrew, it was a whole San
Francisco crew I was I was with,and uh they were talking about
um, you know, how oh, they'restressed out about the service,

(05:51):
and I started telling them like,you know, you ain't you got it
so damn good, you don't evenknow.
You don't know what you don'tknow, I guess.
But I mean, you remember, Imean, we used to do like in the
economy cabin, like we wouldhave like trays where we put hot
casserole dishes.
Remember how we would like loadall the casserole dishes onto

(06:12):
the trays in the cart, yeah, andthen we'd pack up the the ones
that were in the middle of thecart, we'd stack all those meals
on top, and then we'd load intothe back, and then we'd go out
and pass out all these trays,and then we'd have to pick up
all the trays.

SPEAKER_02 (06:23):
It was like you mean where we were constantly working
every freaking minute?

SPEAKER_03 (06:27):
Yeah, I mean like it was like crazy.
And then like we had like thesandwiches on board, like every
flight we always gave somethingto eat, you know.
It wasn't I mean, even it likethose short flights like from
Newark to Boston, we were givingout those Nosh bags.

SPEAKER_02 (06:42):
You're like bageling us and salmon in a bag, you
know, like But what's funny isthat you start talking you start
talking like that to a new hire,they're already yawning.
Yeah.
They're like, um, yeah, that'snot the way it is.
That's not that's not where howit works.
No, because airlines now it'slike a sling and fling service.
Sling and fling.
That's what it is.
I mean, we you and you know, weused to have to unwrap

(07:04):
everything, set everything up.
Now it's it's pop top, right?
You you pop the top right off ofit, we're serving it.
Yeah, I mean, it now we used tohave to plate it up, now it
comes pre-plated.

SPEAKER_03 (07:16):

(17:15):
So we were in the galley, anduh, Sean, do you believe in
mermaids?

Somebody's believing inmermaids.
Went down that rabbit hole.

SPEAKER_02 (17:32):
Oh no.
So this girl I was flying with.
But you know, I I I've got todive into this conversation
because we, you know, we talkabout everything.
So she had showed me a picture,and you were telling me about
this that I'd seen.
Have you guys ever seen thesunset, the color green on a
sunset?
I've never seen it.
First time.

SPEAKER_03 (17:50):
Yeah, so to like to just to talk about that over a
second, like so.
If you get a camera and youespecially if you got one lens
at a high speed or somethinglike that, you know, you you
need somebody to like to catchthis that split second.
And like right when the sun kindof hits the sunset on the water,
you're gonna get a green flash.

(18:11):
They call it the green flash,and this green flight flash.
I actually got it several times,and uh, but it's like literally
when the sun's getting there,you're just like hitting the
camera and it's going click,click, click, click, click,
click, you know, like so fast.
It's not something that our eyecan actually physically see.
Like, it's not like all of asudden, boom, the sky turns
green, you know, it's just thisgreen.
But when you look at the film,right, or the digital film,

(18:35):
whatever, you're gonna seethere's some green flash.

SPEAKER_02 (18:38):
Picture picture was so damn cool that I had to go
down the rabbit hole about themermaids.
Right.
So she starts telling me, I'mlike, okay, so I bite, tell me
about it.
So she said that she listens tothis TikTok channel that this
guy goes out in the ocean and atnighttime, and then he hears the
you know the mermaid song,right?

SPEAKER_03 (18:57):
Yeah, that obviously she's uh sourcing a legitimate
source.

SPEAKER_02 (19:01):
Yeah.
So he's he's out there and hehears the mermaid song, so and
and he won't tell anybody hislocation.
So what's the mermaid song?

SPEAKER_00 (19:11):
It's like what is it?
No, it's I can't even get thathigh.

SPEAKER_02 (19:16):
Have you ever seen that to where they the the
mermaids come and they have thatthat one uh iridescent song like
they come in there and all of asudden the it it it takes the
guy's breath away and he looksat it and he just all he wants
to do is dive in the water, andthen what he does, the mermaids

SPEAKER_02 (26:51):
Hey, before we get to the I gotta talk about
Mountain Dew here in a minute.
Mountain Dew?

SPEAKER_03 (26:57):
Yeah, Mountain Dew.
That's Carol's favorite.
And that's exactly why I had totalk.
Did you know?
Wait, wait, before you do this,I gotta let people know because
people don't know this about mywife.
But Lily, like she doesn't drinka lot of alcohol.
I mean, if anything, just likevery rarely on occasion, she'll
have one drink.
But every day she doesn't drinkcoffee, she drinks Mountain Dew.

SPEAKER_02 (27:20):
And a certain size of Mountain Dew.

SPEAKER_03 (27:22):
And the whole entire base here knows that she drinks
Mountain Dew.
Like this is legendary.
Yeah, watch this.
How many ounces?
Oh, it has to be a 20-ouncebottle.
Yeah, you can't.
She only drinks 20 ounce bottlesin the morning because she
can't.
If it was a you purchase a wecan purchase a 24 at the store,
or you can put a 16 ounce at thestore, but no, she has to have

(27:46):
20 ounces.

SPEAKER_01 (27:47):
He's not lying.

SPEAKER_03 (27:48):
And then she has to go get a at a vending machine
every day, every every morning.

SPEAKER_02 (27:55):
It's a ritual.

SPEAKER_03 (27:56):
It's freaking asinine.

SPEAKER_02 (27:57):
But anyway, had to talk about this because Mountain
Dew was never made to be a soda.
Really?
Never made to be a soda.
It was actually developed inTennessee as a citrus soda
designed to pair with whiskey.
That makes sense.
Yep.
It was the Hartman brothers.
They in back in the 1940s.
I did not know this, and Ithought it was so cool because

(28:18):
you know, Swinny, you know, sheshe's a big mountain dewer.
Yeah.
Right?
We and we have different flightattendants.
They love actually, they loveMountain Dew.
Carol is a huge Mountain Dewperson.

SPEAKER_03 (28:27):
Mountain Dew.
I mean, it's in ourrefrigerator.
We always I have it stocked.
Like if I get to the point whereit's like there's less than like
10 cans in the house, like she'shaving like, I don't know if
sometimes she can't even go tosleep.
Right.
Like she's like, I don't know ifI'm gonna have nothing to have
Mountain Dew.
You gotta get to the store.
Hurry up and get to the store.
Go buy me some Mountain Dew.
I'm having nightmares.
Like I'll go to the store andlike the you know, a case of
mountain, like a 12 pack ofMountain Dew can be if you find

(28:51):
full price here around in ourarea, it's like uh it could be
like almost 10 bucks for the 12cans.
And I'm like, I'm not paying$10for a can, 12 cans of the month.

SPEAKER_02 (29:04):
I could just I just imagine Carol's meltdown.
She goes down, she'd go down tothe vending machine and it would
be out of order.

SPEAKER_03 (29:12):
No, what she does is she looks at me and she gives me
that big attitude and she'slike, I'm worth it.
Well, you know, yeah, you get itexactly.
She's like, Why just buy it?
I'm worth it.
And I'm like, all right, allright, all right.
But I'm like, you know, I'malways trying to catch it on
sale because they have likethose sales that's like buy
three, you know, buy two, getthree free.

That is a that's a staple in mylife.
And I gotta throw a couple ofthese.
You're gonna love these littletips.
Okay.
You got stainless steel?
Stainless, of course.
Okay.
This is just a tip.
I had to throw it in therebecause uh last week I've had

(31:55):
this stupid mark, uh, this watermark going down my stainless
steel of the dishwasher.
Damn thing.
I could not get, man, I used tostainless steel.
Just listen.
Okay.
Now I was trying all thesedifferent products on there
because I was worried aboutscratching it.
You know, I didn't I it was justa water stain.
So I used, and which I alreadyknow, barkeeper's friend.

(32:18):
I love barkeeper's friend, but Ishit I wasn't thinking about you
know the regular um non-abrasivebarkeeper's friend shaking it
out and doing it because I wasstill nervous about it being on
the stainless steel.
Um, so I went and gotbarkeeper's friend, they have a
foam scrub, like you just sprayit on there.
Damn, Sean.
I mean, that shit was so fast,so clean.

(32:40):
A quick rinse off and thestainless steel, you guys looked
freaking phenomenal.

SPEAKER_03 (32:45):
Barkeeper's friend should spot we should have that
sponsor on our on our site.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (32:50):
I love that shit.
This this next one, too, isgonna same thing.
But Barkeeper's Friend, youguys, two of them, right?

SPEAKER_03 (32:58):
The scrub, the soft scrub, the I I use it all.
I have it all.
The powder, the foam, the softscrub, everything.

SPEAKER_02 (33:05):
But if you guys have any issues with stainless steel,
like refrigerators, you know,the stains or anything like
that, get Barkeeper's Friendfoam, or you could use a shaker
because, you know, it isnon-abrasive, but man, it is
phenomenal on your on yourstainless steel uh refrigerator.
It's brand new.
Yeah, it does.
I mean, really, I just loved it.

SPEAKER_03 (33:25):
I mean, I was like, damn, this that's my pots and
pans, I use it on.
Like, Carol doesn't like to uhclean it because you need to use
a little bit of elbow grease.
Yeah, you know, but it's likeyou you get in there and you
script that stuff and barkeeper,you rinse it off and it's like
it's like showroom.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (33:42):
Dude, I was like, damn.
Now, do you do you ever use haveyou ever heard of Fels Napa?
No.
Okay, Fel'Nappa, you guys, forstains in your clothes,
especially uh, you know, if youget anything on your collars or
or your shirt or anything, itall it is is it's a bar, and
it's over in the um thedetergent aisle of any grocery

(34:03):
store, and it's just a bar.
It's like a couple bucks.

SPEAKER_03 (34:05):
Okay.

SPEAKER_02 (34:06):
You take that thing, it's a big long bar, you know,
put it, you know, put it on anystain, and it gets that shit
right out.
Really?
Yeah, it's incredible.
It's fell's Napa.
It's it's a bar that you guyshave to try to use.
It's a staple in our house, man.
This thing is incredible forstains and clothing.
Dude, man, like my collars aremy shirt, first of all, like the

(34:26):
ring around the collar.
Fels Napa, brother.
I'm telling you, use Felsnappa,it will, it will take it out.

SPEAKER_03 (34:32):
I used to have uh the Clorox had a uh had this
spray many, many years ago thatit was like it was the shit of
spray.
Like, I mean, you take thatspray and you spray it on, you
can watch the ring around thecollar disappear.
Really?
It was amazing, man.
And then they pulled it off themarket.

(34:53):
Why?
Because it was too notecologically whatever, you know,
and all that stuff.
And so I'm like, label it thatway and let who wants to buy it
buy it.
Right and keep making the shit,you know.
Like people were buying it.
Because it worked, it worked,yeah.
And then all of a sudden, boom.
Now I had to figure out adifferent solution.

SPEAKER_02 (35:09):
Now, this this last one's Napa.
This last one you're gonna haveto tell me if you know.
Now, do you ever starch yourshirts?
Yeah.
Okay, how do you do it?

SPEAKER_03 (35:20):
Um starch it and then iron it.
How do well?
So here's here's the thing.
So I've been ironing since I'vebeen a teenager.
Mom knows this.
Um, but normally, like I like tospray my shirts first, and and
then I let them hang a littlebit, you know, a few minutes or

(35:41):
so, and then I iron them.
Because if you do, if you don'tlet it soak into the material,
you're gonna get flaking.
And even in a no-flake starchand all that stuff that they
have out now, too.
It's like you have possibly youcan get flaking.
And so you don't get flaking ifyou just like I just hang it up
on a hanger, spray it, and theniron my shirt.
All right.

SPEAKER_02 (36:00):
I knew you were gonna get that one right because
um I learned it from a militaryguy.
And I well, I know, I know, andand and I I give you props on it
because I knew you I knew youwere gonna get it.
But what it was is that I alwayshad that same problem, that
flaking and all that shit onyour shirt and everything.

SPEAKER_03 (36:17):
You just iron it too soon.

SPEAKER_02 (36:18):
Yeah, so you you take this heavy spray start,
spray your shirt, and just let Igo a little bit farther.
I spray like three shirts at atime and I let them dry,
completely dry.
Yeah, don't you don't need tolet them dry.
But if you do, I mean I'm justtelling you, if you let them dry
and then you go to iron them,I'm telling you guys, man, what
a huge difference.

SPEAKER_03 (36:37):
It looks like you're coming up back from the
cleaners, right?

SPEAKER_02 (36:40):
It's such a big difference.

SPEAKER_03 (36:41):
You get nice, nice creases in your shirt and all
this stuff.
You don't have to spray just thecrease just to get that
sharpness.
It will come exactly like that.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (36:49):
But yeah, but I've been doing that since just had
to cover that because I mean alot of people don't know.
I mean, there's certain littletips that we come across.
I think that everybody, if youcome across something that you
know works, hey, send it to anemail and we'll share it because
we love we love sharing tipstoo.

SPEAKER_03 (37:05):
We love stuff like that.

SPEAKER_02 (37:06):
Yeah, I mean, we do love sharing tips.
So anyway, we're gonna move on,and I gotta tell you about what
happened in uh one of thebathrooms in the back.

SPEAKER_03 (37:15):
What happened?

SPEAKER_02 (37:16):
So this girl opens a bathroom, she's like, uh, can

So when I was young, like he'dbe sitting there and he'd like,
it's they'd be like halfwayopen.
So it's like he's they're justlike barely halfway close, but
they never ever completelyclose.
And he's sitting there snoring.
So you never knew if he wasreally looking at you or not
looking at you.

SPEAKER_02 (41:29):

and you you start wondering, Iwas like, are they breathing?

SPEAKER_01 (41:36):

SPEAKER_02 (42:24):
This person, I swear to God, I thought we were gonna

SPEAKER_03 (42:39):
It's like a horror movie.
Eyes are like I so there's Ilove eyes.

They were like literally poppingout of her head.

SPEAKER_03 (43:14):
Like, you know how those people like can actually
squeeze their eyes and theireyes literally pop out of their
socket?
Have you seen that?
Now imagine that at night whenyou're doing a check.

SPEAKER_02 (43:22):
Hell no.
You're doing a cabin check, andnext thing you know, you're
seeing that.

SPEAKER_03 (43:26):
Dude, that's like some scary mermaid shit.
Exactly.
They get you down to call youin, and all of a sudden pop out
their eyes and look at you.
Hear the music.

SPEAKER_02 (43:37):
All right, man.
We gotta talk about uh hotellayovers.
So, you know, when you go in ahotel, do you what do you do
what do you do?
Do you normally just go in andand park your stuff and then
start um now?

SPEAKER_03 (43:49):
We're right back to doing the shit.
It's routine, man.
I get you get back to the roomand it's like clockwork.
You gotta do your business.
So you don't check it first, youjust go in there and dude.
You sometimes it's like, youknow, you gotta go in there and
like I'm I'm ready to go.
But no, I do check my rooms.
So you go you blow the room up,then you go check it.

(44:11):
Whoever's in there's gonna getout.
You gotta have procedures here.
How does that work?

SPEAKER_02 (44:17):
See, I'm going to I'm going, I'm going for like
checking the room and you'regoing for taking a shit.
Are you kidding me?
Seriously.
You're like any flight attendantthat walks in the room, all of a
sudden you they close the door.
That's right.

SPEAKER_03 (44:30):
Trap gas is a bitch.
It's painful too, don't like weshould have like a segue right
there and during our show whereit's like a trap gas commercial.

SPEAKER_02 (44:41):
Anyway, I go in.
When I go in, I've got thisroutine though.
I park my bag, I don't evenlook.
I I go check for body hair.

SPEAKER_03 (44:47):
I got body hair the showers.
Oh, gotcha.

SPEAKER_02 (44:50):
Because what I found is is like remember I told you
in a podcast a long time ago, II was sleeping and I found
underpants underneath, I wassleeping at night and they were
stuck on my foot.
And you don't remember beingwith somebody?
Not funny.
Not funny.
The maid just remade the bed.
Somebody's underwear was in thebottom of the sheets.

(45:12):
It was straight nasty.
So from that point on, I checkevery freaking room.
And if I see if I see body hairsin the shower or on the bathroom
floor, I take a picture and I'mout of there.
If I see the toilet, any bodyhairs or anything, I'm out of
there.
I check the water pressure, Icheck the toilet.
I even check and see if thehairdryer is gonna work.

(45:34):
Yeah.
I pull the comforter back, Iremove that because God knows
what goes on in thosecomforters.
Because they do not replacethose.
Yeah.
Right?
And then I do a carpet check andmake sure that there's nothing
falling on the carpet.

SPEAKER_03 (45:46):
High tech, high intrusive sweep of the room.

SPEAKER_02 (45:51):
Sean, if you had somebody's underpants on the
bottom of your feet in themiddle of the night and they
weren't yours, you might eitheryou've had a really good night
or you've had something reallynasty going on.
Did I tell you that they werenot mine?

SPEAKER_01 (46:06):
And they they were somebody else's on the bottom.
It was completely gross.

SPEAKER_02 (46:12):
Yuck.
So anyway, let's go around theglobe.
Around the globe, man.

We were I hooked into one ofthose um what's those big huge

(47:30):

They're those like um I'm tryingto think of the name of a fish.
It's like this big, like it'slike big one big giant flat
fish.
They got little tiny lips.
You know what I'm talking about?
No.
Oh god, it'll come to me.
Anyways, I mean they'remonsters.

SPEAKER_02 (47:47):
Are those the ones with the real pretty colors?

SPEAKER_03 (47:49):
No, no, no, no.
That's like a uh that's like amahi mahi.
But the um the oh what the hellis the name of the fish?
Anyhow, it will come to me, butit is a and people out there
shout out whoever it is, whatthe damn fish I'm talking about,
but it's it's I mean, I got itup.
We got it close.
It came up close because it waskind of like just dragging,

(48:11):
because I was just barelyannoying it.
And he comes up in this big bigass fish, like literally my
buddy was like, cut the line,cut the line.
We're not gonna be able to getthis fish in.
Like it was too big.
It was huge, dude.
Huge.
Just throw it back, or just cutit.

SPEAKER_02 (48:29):
That was that 18-foot tuna.

SPEAKER_03 (48:31):
No, it wasn't a tuna.
I can't think of the name ofthat fish.
It would it would come to me.
I'm gonna have to call myfishing buddy just to like
remind me what the heck is thename of that fish.
That's what happens when we getold.
Yep.

SPEAKER_02 (48:42):
Anyhow, what else been going on around globe?
Well, they were talking aboutthe airline captains, how much
money they're starting to make.
Man, they and and they werecomparing them to uh to actually
doctors.
Oh yeah.
They and the the amount of moneythat captains are making is
translating like the the higherpaid captains,$400,000,$500,000
a year.

(49:03):
It's crazy.
That is freaking crazy, dude.

SPEAKER_03 (49:06):
We have them here.

SPEAKER_01 (49:07):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 (49:08):
We have them here.
I mean, that's uh that just goesto show you, like, I mean, first
of all, what angers me aboutthat is that the disparagement
of like price, like, you know,in our industry, like from the
back end to the front end, howmuch the difference of pay is.
And I know that first of all,like you're talking comparing
them now to a doctor.
These guys have all these livesin their hands.

(49:29):
Doctors have one person's lifein their hand at a time, right?
Right.
And so here's this person thathas multiple lives in their
hand, and they're getting paidall this money.
A lot of them aren't evencollege graduates, right?
Right.
And so, and then and then sobecause they are they have this
stigma of the industry and thatcontrol and all that stuff,

(49:49):
they're getting paid so muchmoney, which bravo for them.
But the disparagement of what wemake in the back is just
ridiculous because we don't makeyou know a blip of that.
No.

SPEAKER_02 (50:03):
So But you know something I will never down them
because I tell you what, man,you ever land in Cleveland in
the middle of wintertime withsome nasty ass crosswinds?
No, they'll make your buttpucker.

SPEAKER_03 (50:13):
No, there's a lot of time.
I mean, that's what they're likeuh like us, we're getting paid
for safety and those thoseinstances that happen very
rarely, but um, when theyhappen, we're everything they
mean we're getting paid is we'reearning the money, right?

SPEAKER_02 (50:28):
Right?
I mean they they earn theirmoney.
If you ever take a look at thedistance between an aircraft
wing and the ground and and youryour room for error.
No.
Right?
Yeah.
So you if you wonder why theyget paid what they pay, look at
the wing, look at the ground,look at the wheel well, room for
error.
Right.
None.

(50:48):
Yeah, there's not much, man.
No.
So they they also had a uh aregional flight that was forced
to return to Atlanta on Friday.
Um, it it cabin failed topressurize and the accident
oxygen mass dropped.
We remember we've had thatbefore.

SPEAKER_03 (51:03):
Dude, you know what?
Now I'm reminiscing it again.
Like back in the day, it waslike it seemed like we had that
all the time.
That was not a rare instantwhere masks drop in a plane and
stuff.
Like I've had it several times.
Turbully in our career.

SPEAKER_02 (51:17):
Sometimes even in turbulence because the uh the
the little latches weren't verygood.

SPEAKER_03 (51:22):
Yeah, they just like shake them and boom and they pop
down, right?
And you scream at everybody,don't pull them.
Yeah, don't pull, don't pullthem.
Don't pull the mass.
You know, some Joes pull on themass.
Just pull on the mass, man.
Like, and for everybody outthere, like oxygen mass, this is
a good educational spot.
Oxygen mass on some aircraft arechemically generated.
So when you pull that mask, itpulls a pen that starts the

(51:43):
generator, and that mask isdone.
Like you have to, and theaircraft's done wherever it
parks because that they're notgonna go anywhere until it's
replaced.
So it's not a good idea.
But then we have some of theolder systems that it's a
gaseous system where it's justlike turning on uh water boss,
you know, so you pull the maskand it just gives you a mask off
of a big tank.

(52:04):
But for the most time, most partnow it's all chemical.
Right.
The newer planes.

SPEAKER_02 (52:08):
Well, also uh Luftanza, they this goes back to
what we were talking about lastweek with AI, right?
Uh the Lufthansa plans toeliminate 4,000 administrative
roles due to exactly what youwere talking about, AI.

SPEAKER_03 (52:24):
AI.
Right?
AI is scary, man.
I mean, there's there's there'sadministrative roles that are
can be replaced because there'slike jobs.
If you're in a job where you caneasily be replaced by a robot, I
mean gonna be replaced.
You need to start thinking abouta new career.

SPEAKER_02 (52:40):
Yeah.
I mean, when you're coming fast,yeah, exactly.
I mean, and they're talkingabout by what 2030.
Yes, that's right around thecorner.

SPEAKER_03 (52:48):
Yeah, you need to learn how to control that robot.
Then you got a new job.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (52:53):
So then they they also had uh they had so many
things go on this week.
We only picked a few of themout, but they had a collision
between uh two aircraft, lowspeed incident that injured one
flight attendant.

SPEAKER_03 (53:04):
Yeah, I just wanted to talk about that a little bit.
The the uh, you know, peopledon't realize, you know, we're
always talking about seat beltsand all that stuff, but you
know, here's a low speed, and wewould say low speed, they were
taxing on the runway, and thetwo planes collided, and that
collision of impact, the flighttens are up, we're walking
around and doing our jobs, doingour safety duties, doing our

(53:27):
checks, all that stuff, and allof a sudden we get a collision,
we're flying through the cabin.
You know, now we're like, youknow, jet disin through our
cabin, hitting whatever.
I mean, we have I have a closefriend.
This happened.
Uh it wasn't even a collision.
The there was a near miss wherethe plane cut in front of
another plane, and that planeshe was on had to slam on the

(53:50):
brakes, and they were walkingthrough the camera.
She went flying through thecabin, hit her head on a C-res,
had a brain bleed.
Right.
You know, like these things canhappen like in an instant.

SPEAKER_02 (54:00):
How many passengers have you seen just like that
when they slammed the brakes on,took their took their seatbelt
off, right?
And at the bulkhead seat, andthey almost slammed right into
the wall.
Oh, yeah.
Because because we they theyslam on the brakes because
exactly what you just said,somebody just cut us off.
They have no idea.

SPEAKER_03 (54:17):
Like, I mean, all these incident instances happen
in a split second.
Yep.
And you just you gotta beprepared for arm movement.
But the simple thing is put yourseatbelt on.
