A little commuting story for you all, sitting on a 757 in back, hanging with a couple of the commuting dudes we started hearing some dude a couple of rows back making weird sounds etc......Personally I was thinking crap, here it goes.....An arab type looking male making weird noises like he's praying to who knows who....I look back, and few moments later, the dude starts foaming at the mouth. I yelled to a flight attendant, who runs towards the dude.....(ok, this is a couple of years ago, so we're thinking....fake out...here comes the attack).....so, the other flight attendant knows there are about 4 of us pilot dudes commuting and asks us to take up possitions....I head towards the cockpit door with one of the FA's, the others take positions around the plane. I'm turning back first class passengers who want to use the foward lav.....anyone coming close to the cockpit door....the FA's are talking to the pilots........WHEN......all of the sudden........it all comes out.........
The dudes brother comes back from the lav in the back, he's a doctor...It turns out that this dude is on meds for seizures, and because of the trip somehow missed taking a pill or two and was having a no crap seizure......his brother, the doc, took over and needless to say all was fine and the guy felt really bad for causing all the trouble....since they were sitting in an emergency exit row, we ended up switching with them..........
So you can take this story for what its worth........personally, well...I'll leave my opinion out.......but, any strange happenings on an airplane can't be taken lightly....in this situation it turned out to be nothing, but there is much crap going on out there......never relax.....
Sorry if it looked like I took it from somewhere.
