Worst Pa Announcements

On Capt IOE...

Every single transmission I made, including checking into departure control, was on the PA.

We had 3 jumpseaters.

DOH!

Dangers of thinking about two things at once...

I wasn't there for this, but the guy I was flying with the other day told me about it. After leveling off the capt was making a PA to the effect of 'the seat belt sign is off, but please remain seated.' He came up with "We'd like to invite you to sit back, relax, and spread your legs..." and then he just FROZE when he realized what he'd said. The FA called up to let him know what he'd said, but she was laughing so hard she couldn't get the words out.

I laughed so hard at that one that it almost makes sitting RSV on Xmas for a company who pays you $800 every 2 weeks worth it.

Regarding funny things on the radio, I had a new copilot with me during the beginning of the war in Mar 2003. As we departed Iraq and checked in with Kuwait the controller asked us "how do you read?" My young copilot in a totally serious voice answered "unlike you, I read left to right and top to bottom." It definitely broke the tension and we laughed our asses off. The controller said "say again."
