This Family Guy news cast reminds me of the misleading airline headlines I’ve been seeing lately. “Passenger Arrested for Painting Her Nails!” Um, no. She was arrested for refusing to stop when the flight attendant asked her to after passengers complained. I don’t think it helped that she then cussed the flight attendant out.

Or how about the repeated headlines that read, “Flight Attendant Robs Passengers at Security.” It was a thief DRESSED as a flight attendant who stole from the conveyer belt, but even after that news came out, there were dozens and dozens of tweets and headlines calling him a flight attendant.

I had no idea this rule existed!

According to the Daily Mirror, a Polish LOT flight was grounded at Heathrow when it was discovered that both pilots were over 60. Although the maximum flying age was upped to 65, any over-60 pilot flying international routes must be paired with a pilot under 60. To remedy LOT’s mistake, passengers had to wait five hours for a younger pilot to be flown in.

Now that’s an original excuse. “Sorry I’m late but my pilot was too old.”

…That little foothold on the side of the seat. Do you know how hard it is for a flight attendant, under, let’s say 5’6″, to close those darned middle-row 777 overhead bins? Well, I’ve had to climb on a lot of passengers’ seats to close their bins. I’m sure Cathay crew members assigned to the premium section are relishing the new step stools that should provide a more elegant approach.

Besides not having a flight attendant clumsily climbing all over you, as a passenger, you might also like premium section’s extra six inches of legroom, deeper eight-inch recline, footrest, ten-inch TV, and the special upgraded menu.
