Everything Is Audible

Pilots are definitely not 100% investing their attention on flying the plane. They have to keep in mind what goes on in the cabin as well. Whether or not it is for security measures is clarified by this pilot, “We’re not sitting in the cockpit listening to the ball game…But when I fly to Pittsburgh on a Sunday afternoon, the passengers send the flight attendants up at least ten times to ask us the Steelers score.”

Jealous Of The Meal

The treatment of pilots in flights have gone from bad to worse in recent times. They are usually very exhausted while flying and would take cat naps in the air. There is yet another reason why you should feel bad for them. Pilots are starving! A pilot of a regional carrier confessed, “Sometimes the airline won’t give us lunch breaks or even time to eat. We have to delay flights just so we can get food.”

Never Touch Anything

Look at this man who actually covered himself with a plastic bag to ward off any germ that he could potentially be exposed to. Even though this may be an extreme effort, we must not forget that some people do get sick after flights. A pilot was quoted saying, “Always assume that the tray table and the button to push the seat back have not been wiped down, though we do wipe down the lavatory.”

Driving Is Scarier Than Flying

Even though there are a ton of people who fear flying, the truth of the matter is that many people are prone to serious accident, injury, or death while traveling on the road. Pilot Jack Stephan can back this up and explains, “People always ask, “What’s the scariest thing that’s ever happened to you?” I tell them it was a van ride from the Los Angeles airport to the hotel, and I’m not kidding.”
