Also if you're flying first class the drink service begins when your rear end hits the seat.

About 1980, my father used to do the north sea oil rig thing where you'd fly from England to the rig and then the prevailing winds meant you went to Norway and come back on via Amsterdam. He'd get pulled up by customs every time because he'd be wearing a denim jacket and a rucksack while a dozen guys wearing polyester suits would go straight through without even taking off their sunglasses and out of the airport with nothing more than a single attache case.

I think it might even be a legal requirement. McNally posted:Also if you're flying first class the drink service begins when your rear end hits the seat. Nahh, it starts when you hit the airport and cruise into the first class lounge. The glass (real glass!) of champagne before takeoff is pretty nice as well.

I like flying Southwest. I don't give a poo poo about assigned seating, I just like getting things sorted as quickly as possible, and it works for me. That way I'm also less likely to end up giving up my seat because the stupid airline put one kid out of a family a row over. Instead they'll let families with kids go first.

Godholio posted:You're guaranteed to have room for your stuff in the overhead if you want, and on some airlines you don't have assigned seating. Plus the obvious "not waiting in line so long." I dont have a way around Southwest, they would have to adjust the policy but less time waiting for passengers to get to a seat is less time spent on the ground wasting money. The overhead thing doesnt really bother me, I'm either traveling really light or really heavy but I dont have a problem with them checking at the gate. I chill out in whatever lounge I have access to instead of the "wait in line or wait on plane" thing or take the chance to move around before I get wedged in somewhere. McNally posted:Also if you're flying first class the drink service begins when your rear end hits the seat. That usually means I have 10+ hours in front of me in the same seat and business class starts to get uncomfortable between hours 8-12. Plus, free lounge access. lightpole fucked around with this message at 04:21 on Jul 3, 2019 |

I remember when I used to work offshore and in Houston or New Orleans no one looked twice at a hard hat clipped to a backpack and a merchant mariner credential at security but anywhere else and there's lots of jokes about "don't hit your head!"

I can't wait until every single one of those things breaks down at the most inopportune time. Also I'm sure that all the people who have been ordered into this thing would rather be there in the disgusting DC summer wearing their dress uniforms as opposed to home with their friends and families for the holiday.

It is ridiculously easy to kill one of those things if you can get inside, and I haven't found a parked one yet I couldn't get into with bolt cutters. I'm talking push a few buttons burn down the tank easy.

Now that I think about it you could kill the engine relatively silently from the outside in under a minute if you know what you're doing.

Southwest's boarding method is definitely the fastest of any of the airlines but in most cases what's keeping you at the gate isn't the passengers finding seats, it's fueling/loading/servicing the plane. The fastest possible would involve boarding everyone in a specific order and ain't nobody gonna listen to that poo poo.

The most hilarious thing would be to rig the engine it so it stalls out in the middle of the parade and won't restart.

What's that CIA document that they came up with for governmental disruption that you can do without making yourself an explicit enemy of an oppressive state? Stuff like loving up at work, but not to the extent that they will fire you?

My favourite is "When possible, refer all matters to committees, for "further study and consideration." Attempt to make the committee as large as possible — never less than five."

I mean you could probably bribe the driver with a Big Mac and a nice shady spot with a hammock for the 4th and that would get the job done just as easily.

Midjack posted:Piss in the gas tank? Potato in the exhaust? One of the very few upsides for turbine as a tank engine is that neither of those would likely work. The fuel amount and consumption means your piss will dilute and the scorching exhaust coming out will just disintegrate a potato. And yes, as an m1 tanker I’ve seen so many power packs destroyed completely by operator accident or misinformation it’s not even funny.

lightpole posted:This still doesnt make sense to me. Why is boarding first a status thing? A high status should mean you get to be the one that spends the least amount of time on onboarding, last on/first off. I wait as long as I can before I get on the plane whether I'm flying coach or business cause gently caress sitting on a plane when I dont have to. Plus, it would be faster to board the people at the back of the plane first, instead of having everyone jammed in the aisles. Because otherwise you have to stand around waiting for all the poors to get on. You do get to get off the plane first. Everyone knows we don’t board planes efficiently but no one really seems to want to do anything about it so

Can we also talk about how the people who block the disembark line by dicking around with the overhead instead of waiting for the people who are ready to get off are monsters

Internet Wizard posted:Can we also talk about how the people who block the disembark line by dicking around with the overhead instead of waiting for the people who are ready to get off are monsters A few years back I was flying back from work on the east coast; the first leg was Jacksonville to Chicago I think. Anyhow, like 6 people were pre-boarded via wheelchair, like pushed across the airport by employees, all looking sad and pathetic with their carry-ons across their laps, then head of the line and onto the plane with assistance. We land in Chicago. On the PA, Captain “Allright folks, we’ve arrived. Those of you needing help in disembarking, please stay in your seats, there’s gonna be a delay in getting some assistance...”. Every loving malingering fucktard jumps up, starts yanking the carry-ones out of the overheads, and off they go. Also, my favorite are the ones with max carry-on luggage who put the bulk of it at the forward part of the plane while their seats are in the middle or back.
