Marriage = unavailable as a sexual fantasy for the passengers = immediate termination. Re your second question, Draper was chair of the committee.

azflyboy posted:I forgot to mention that the flight attendant had explicitly told them not to give the kid anything. I've twice been on a plane with my mom (who's an ER doc) when they called for medical. The first time I went for the call button only to bump into her hand covering it and her telling me "they need A doc, not THIS doc". The second time we just shot each other a knowing look, but they asked again and she went back to help. evil_bunnY fucked around with this message at 19:37 on Jul 17, 2021 |

LOL, my flight on American this week was literally delayed for an hour and a half because they didn't have enough flight attendants.

It's actually pretty good in how it lists the demands/rewards of the job and requirements of the applicant in a narrative, ultra-sexist form. Yep, Draper was chair of the committee and they clinked scotch glasses afterwards.

I wonder if that gets put on the tombstones.

Some air sickness is also not an emergency. If the kid was having an allergic reaction and she gave him her epi-pen it would be a different story.

We have a contract with a company called Medlink to provide medical services, but it's pretty useless The doctors they have on staff are perfectly fine, but since the system works via satellite phone, the voice quality sucks, and the Q400 is loud, so every time I've tried to use it has resulted in the airplane basically being single pilot because the doctor and flight attendant can't hear each other, so one of us has to relay everything between them.

Platystemon posted:It turns out that when Floridaman shoots your plane, it’s expensive. I've replaced a stabilator with a hole through it, the best we could figure was someone shot up into the air at an angle, punched through the top of the stabilator, and the bullet tumbled out through the bottom based on the perfectly round 7.62mm hole on top and the oblong hole on the bottom. This one was also expensive.

But I thought that when you shot bullets in the air to be cool, they just went into space and there was no consequences?
