any comebacks for the 'small plane' comment?

[Vector4fun]

I'll probably get flamed for this, but....


If the folks talking are over age 45 or so, you might cut them a little slack. I can remember lots of Convair flights, and a seat in a Convair was like a LazyBoy compared to a CRJ. I'm not dissin' the plane or crews, just the seats...

After I finally got to be a Capt on an RJ I heaard a women board and ask the FA if "this was one of those prop planes". So much for pax demanding jets.

Jobear said, "...I had to go twist the rubber bands otherwise we are never gonna get outta here."

You think that is funny, but in 96' I was flying the Jetstream 31. After each leg we would go out and spin the prop by hand 15-20 rotations in order to cool the shaft of the Garrett.

When the pax asked if you wound the rubber bands it was because they saw you doing it from the terminal window!

Heard that comment deadheading in the back of the Dash when the guys pushed the props up on approach.

Here's my list for the "this airplane is so small...." thing.

1. So's your sperm count.
2. So are your wife's hoo hoo's.
3. Bend over and I'll show you where we put the wind up key.
4. Won't seem so small when I shove it up your a$$.
5. That's exactly what I thought when I saw it the first time.... an hour ago.
6. Your little girl sure has a pretty mouth.....
7. Please don't rock the boat. It might sink.

I was stading next to the FA greeting passengers as they got on our CRJ, when a cocky businessman with the cellphone wire sticking out of his ear (you know the kind, the ones with the self-precieved self-importance) said, "I can't believe how small this thing is!"

Without missing a beat, the FA says,"That's because the plane is cold right now. It gets bigger when it warms up!"

The business man nodded his head and went for his seat. He got about 10 feet down the aisle when it hit him. He just stopped and busted up laughing, hopefully he realized what a stupid comment he made!

Next time someone steps onboard and says "this is so small" just simply look them straight in the eye and say "it sure is, do you want to wait for the bigger one??"

Had a passenger get on the airplane make a comment " what did I do to derseve this?" Captain said " bought a cheap ticket"

 

[InTransit]

My Captain yelled at a lady one time - It's bigger than your mobile home!

 

[P-Dawg_QX]

"You wouldn't think it was so small if it landed on your house."

This thread rocks! I've been looking for better responses...thanks for hookin a brotha up.

Smaller planes for smaler airfares. People should shut the heck up and be happy with their $100 internet fare.

Yeeeeaaaass!!!!!!!!

AMEN!!!!

Whatever you fly, just watch out for that Vandal guy in the bathroom! Yikes!

The Cubicle comment works real well when dealing with some office space wanna be microsoft geek.


About small fares, not always the case, often It's more expensive to fly on regional carriers than mainline, especially from these podunk towns. They don't hesitate to show u the fare on their ticket when groundstopped for 2 1/2 hours.

"It's so small"
"Hey lady, how long you figure it would take you to walk to Boston?"

How about PHL-ABE. Drive a golf cart next time big shot.
