Ever wonder what flight attendants really think about passengers, celebrities, and each other? Shawn and G pull back the curtain on the aviation industry with stories that will make you laugh, cringe, and maybe think twice about your next flight.
The episode kicks off with Shawn's passionate account of basketball playoffs and his normally calm pilot wife's surprising transformation into an intense superfan during Indiana Pacers games. Their casual conversation quickly shifts to the nitty-gritty of airline life when Shawn recounts a recent flight where a passenger unexpectedly projectile vomited throughout an entire row, creating a crisis that tested both his crisis management skills and patience with panicked passengers.
From there, the hosts dive into the complex dynamics of working with problematic flight attendants, discussing the unspoken "code of silence" that exists within the industry. They draw a clear line between tolerating personality differences and confronting dangerous rule violations like vaping on aircraft. This segment offers listeners a fascinating glimpse into workplace politics at 30,000 feet and the challenges of managing interpersonal conflicts in a confined space.
Perhaps most revealing is their candid discussion about the alarming trend of flight attendants using Ozempic and similar medications for weight loss. The hosts express genuine concern as they describe colleagues who've transformed from healthy to dangerously thin, facing serious side effects like hair loss in pursuit of an idealized appearance. The conversation expands to include other aviation news, including Pan Am's surprising comeback as a luxury tour service with an eye-watering $65,000 price tag and updates on the Air India crash investigation.
Subscribe now to join Shawn and G for weekly doses of aviation reality that commercial airlines definitely don't want you to hear. Whether you're a frequent flyer or just curious about life above the clouds, these insider perspectives will forever change how you view your next flight experience.

Speaker 2She is like that, though right. When she goes off like that, you turn and look at her and go. What the what did that come from?
Speaker 1Every time the game goes off, like her Apple watch goes nuts. I mean, there's two things that it says. Like your heart is like accelerating, you know, like too fast.

So you think the pace is going to take it, dude? I hope so. I mean, I don't listen, it's anybody's game right now. It's so close. I mean, this is like the playoff, how playoffs should always be every year. You know, like I hate seeing blowouts, doesn't matter what teams are. You know like who likes to watch that, except for the winning team, right?
Speaker 2but I, but I do. You know something, since you're talking basketball, the clips that I love watching anymore. I love watching Caitlin Clark and that Sophia Cunningham. Let me tell you something the most fun that I have watching it is when they put that blonde girl in there to whoop some serious ass man. I mean, she comes in, she's like, she is like I will jack any of you up. I don't care who you are. Put me in the damn game. I am gonna mess one of you up, yeah, man this is, this is the funniest thing.
Speaker 1Like that. You bring that up and everything. And it came up on uh facebook here and I I thought I screenshotted the whole thing, but they had a funny, uh funny thing, funny thing about Caitlin cart and everything. They got this dude that's like this, like uh, he was like um special forces guy, like huge, and they got him like he has his long hair and he's like he's going to be, he's going to be on the fever team and so when Caitlin cart gets hurt, they they're gonna bring in like a lawn whatever and he's and he, all he's gonna do is just decimate the team until he like he, uh, until he gets ejected and he goes and his nickname over in, uh, whatever, yugoslavia or wherever he's from right is a throat punch but you know what I love about Indiana, though?
Speaker 2They brought people in to sit there and it's like if you mess with her, they're going to jack your shit up.
Speaker 1Yeah, man, those games are so violent right now. I can't believe that even the WNBA is letting this happen.
Speaker 2Would you expect that though? I mean, when you look at her, when you see that county hand man, she's a pretty girl, oh yeah she. When you look at her, when you see that county hand man, she's a pretty girl, oh yeah.
Speaker 1She will jack their ass up.
Speaker 2I mean, she was sitting there and it's like that. One girl went for a layup.
Speaker 1She grabbed her by the head and ripped her ass down. I know, ripped her down, it was just crazy.
Speaker 2And then it was like the whole team man, just come at you, I don't give a shit.
Speaker 1I will whip all your asses. You've got to be when you're on a team, right?
Speaker 2It is. But you know something For the WNBA? Caitlin Clark changed the WNBA, but what I loved about it and makes me want to watch it is they bring in the enforcers to protect her ass.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, you know. But Caitlin Clark's Well, now they are Like they have to Like, I mean she's valuable.
Speaker 2Yeah, but she. Let me tell you, what I like about her too, is that she's doing a lot of pushback now. She don't give a shit.
Speaker 1She's like pushing back and and she's ready to fight too well, she's in, you know, like she's, at first she's that newcomer, right, and then she was trying to be like, fit in and be herself and play basketball, and then everything's getting violent.
Speaker 2And then now you know, boom and you can tell indiana's now her home, because she'll get that crowd jacked up. I mean, she goes down there and throws hands up and gets the whole crowd into it.
Speaker 1I'm telling you right now you have not seen a basketball game. Until you see a basketball game in Indiana.
Speaker 2Right, it doesn't matter where it is, how much is a women's basketball game going for? I'm going to say I know Indiana, like you'll pay like $60, $65 for a ticket. Everybody else you pay like three.
Speaker 1The WNBA is more expensive than the NBA, oh really.
Speaker 2On the Caitlin Clark team. Yeah, well, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1When they came here to like the playoffs and stuff. I mean, the tickets were out of control. It was unbelievable. I don't know exactly what the prices are.
Speaker 2But I know that exceeded the nba because only with the clinton kirk thing, you know, right, so she's like the female. Uh, steph curry, yeah right, I mean she got michael jordan.
Speaker 1Yeah, but name them all.
Speaker 2She's, she's um, she's unbelievable yeah, I mean she just reminds me of steph curry buries the ball from anywhere. Three point range, okay, half court range, if you're from indiana.
Speaker 1Nobody's gonna say steph curry, they're gonna say reggie miller. Oh yeah, that's true.
Home Maintenance Disaster After Storms
Speaker 2There you go okay, that's true, I'm not gonna associate her with reggie's gone and I understand I get he's a legend I know he is.
Speaker 1He's a legend. Yeah, anyways, man. So what's been going on?
Speaker 2well, um, let's see, I came home. Uh, the big. You know, there's big assass torrential rains and winds that we just got the other night Unbelievable.
Speaker 1Like 60-mile power gusts.
Speaker 2Love this. I come home from my turn LA turn Nice long day, as you know. I came home and I looked at the house and the garage and the big piece of freaking metal flashing was flapping in the wind.
Speaker 1I'm like you've you gotta be shitting me, that's so loud when it happens, when you're in the house and that thing's attached to the house.
Speaker 2It's like, okay, here's the funny part.
Speaker 1You want to hear that again.
Speaker 2It was it's really loud. Yeah, bullshit. It wasn't that loud at that time because I got up at like three o'clock in the morning, we drove into work, didn't even notice the thing Right, oh, right, yeah and and came back home and it was flapping in the wind. It would probably making those sounds that you're talking about and I was like this sucks man.
Speaker 2So got to get the ladder out, get my ass up there, bend it back in, put the flashing back in. But you know, here's the funny part is, I called you and I was telling you. I was like you believe this stupid shit happened. You were telling me about yours when it happened, too right, and and the funny thing about it was you said what to me? What was the one thing that you said?
Speaker 1there was like like three nails in the thing. Mine had four fucking nails yeah, I mean four nails. You can't believe these builders do this. It's like, especially in like when I'm at the highest point of my county, like I get heavy winds here all the time and mine happened a few years ago but it was like after these houses were built here, all of our flashings like started ripping off because nobody secured them properly.
Speaker 2Right. The reason is your development is directly in front of mine, okay. The reason is your development is directly in front of mine, okay, and there's a wind valley on the other side by Seville, as where we're living, right, and that wind comes straight through there and it comes over your guys' development and comes straight in ours and we catch that same wind. The thing that freaking kills me is you're absolutely right. These damn builders. Let me tell you, ever since I've been in this house, I find shit all wrong. All the time they had a. I have a bay window out front, okay, huge bay window.
Speaker 2these pieces of crap didn't even seal the damn window didn't seal the window water was going down inside and I had to replace this whole area you got mold damage, you got all that stuff stupid ass builders. They, they, they, they'll sit there and they'll do things and and uh and you'll. You'll find these problems later on, it's just a bunch of bullshit.
Speaker 2And I had four freaking nails. So of course, yeah, eventually that wind's going to rip that damn thing off. And here it is and it took 20 years, but still, if that thing would have been on there for 50 years if you'd put the right nails in it, so, but it was just bullshit had to come home, get the ladder, go up there and and, uh, you know, put that damn thing back on and uh, yeah, so that was a bunch of fun. But you know, the the funnier part is when I was on the flight. You know how we talk about jump seat therapy. Yeah, okay, so I had a flight attendant, so we started talking and she was like, can I ask you a question? I said sure, and she goes. Well, I wanted a guy's opinion and could you just give me an honest opinion? And I said sure, and you know, when we were younger, we were talking about how we dated. You know, you'd pick somebody up in a bar or you'd meet somebody. That's how we dated, right?
Speaker 1Oh yeah, in our generation. That's the only way you could do it generation.
Speaker 2That's the only way you could do it. And she was talking about, like you know, these dating apps. You know how they have all the.
Speaker 1I have no idea what these apps are, sean I know that we are of the generation like we do. I have never experienced it because both of us been married too long, yeah, and so it's like I had to ask my like nephew one time about. It was like let me just see this thing, like how's this thing work? Because he does it, you know, and he's like it is and like he's I don't know what he was doing you know Tinder or whatever. It was Right, flip left, flip right. And I was like what?
Speaker 2Yeah, they know, they know, like there's one of them that within the vicinity, they know exactly where they are, yeah, and she was telling me. She was like oh, yeah, they, they know if they're 30 feet away from you, oh, wow If. Oh wow, if they're 30 feet away from us. Back in our generation, that was a stalker, yeah.
Speaker 1Right. I mean if somebody's 30 feet away from you. Well, 30 feet away from us. Back in the day was like across the bar.
Speaker 2We're looking and making eyes at each other.
Dating App Horror Stories on Jump Seat
Speaker 1That type of thing is not. You know, we wouldn't be looking at us on an app.
Speaker 2But she's sitting there talking about, like, how she uses these apps. So she meets this person, this one guy on the app and she's talking and she's like I don't want to get too graphic with this and I was like don't worry about it, we're flight attendants. You're shitting me Jump seat therapy. Not being graphic.
Speaker 1Right.
Speaker 2Really Not being graphic, yeah, come on, bring it On the jump seat. I'm just, you know, you're getting where I'm going with this, right. So she, she sits there and she says so, we're talking, and and we've been talking for a little while and you know, we kind of maybe every once in a while send some pics, and I'm like okay, whatever, you know that's what you do, and um, and then she said how would you feel about this If a person said have you ever had sex with a transsexual? If a person said have you ever had sex with a transsexual?
Speaker 1What the fuck, this is an intro question. That's quite the beginning intro to a relationship.
Speaker 2I did the same thing, I go. He said what? Wow? And I'm so, you know, curiosity got me because I was. I was like, okay, where's she going with this one, right? So she was sitting there, she goes. I was dumbfounded, she goes, why would you ask me if I had sex with the transsexual? And he said, well, he goes because I was just wondering, you know I. I thought, well, would I? And maybe as a threesome?
Speaker 1What yeah, dude you just met this.
Speaker 2How would that go over in the bar, Sean, if we just met him in the?
Speaker 1bar. That might get violent in the bar, but in this conversation, wherever she was having it on the phone, right no. Or a chat no.
Speaker 2He had messaged her. First they were texting yeah, and then he had messaged her. First they were texting yeah, and then he had called her because he's like, oh, I got to straighten this out. She's like there's no straightening this out. She goes what would you do? And I said, well, apparently you guys, we would hang up, leave the bar, whatever Me I'd be blocking, doing everything.
Speaker 1Exactly that's what I was getting ready to say.
Speaker 2I was like I'd literally be like discontinue thing, block, um, yeah, that'd be done. That. It completely blew me away because I I'm thinking when we're in a bar that's the best part, because we get to know somebody right, I mean, you get to.
Speaker 1You get to that feel of a person yeah, well, I mean, there's a whole different dynamics there, because you're like, you got to be brave enough to go do it. Right, right, the interchange in those conversations, and people aren't going to be like, can you imagine this face-to-face conversation? You know like, hey, how are you doing? Blah, blah, blah. I was thinking, you know, what do you think about transsexual sex? You? Know sex you know out of the blue, like in person, you know, is she slapping the guy? Is she like?
Speaker 2you know, like you know, pushing him away.
Speaker 1Get away from me, you don't like. It's the scenarios you can go through your head everybody out there, Just imagine.
Speaker 2Do you know what I loved about um going to meet somebody in the bar, though? Cause you know me and you used to hang out all the time in the bars and you'd sit there and realize there's a couple of things I want to go over here. First of all, guys don't pick up girls. You know that right. We don't pick girls up. Girls pick us up, and because if the girl's interested in you, she's looking at you and these guys are dumb. Because we've ran around with the guys like, oh, I'm going to go pick somebody up, I'm going to go hit that, I'm going to go do whatever. I'm looking at them going. You're dumb, you're dumb.
Speaker 2Because you know me back in the day in a bar. You're dumb. I'm going to an area, I'm standing there, I'm looking around. The one that likes me is looking at me. I'm not to go over and ask her to dance with me so he walks over and everybody's watching, you know, and you're running with your buddies and he walks across the dance floor, goes to that real hot chick that everybody wants to dance with and he's like hey, you want to dance? No.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, we in our generation have all had that rejection, rejection, yeah.
Speaker 2You get the walk of shame. You start turning your head around looking for the waitress.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember many times going out to bars with you and I'm like you know I'm going to go over. You know you remember me, like I was the guy that was like this, like all over the place in the bar, like I'm just running around doing my thing but you're crazy.
Speaker 2The girls love that.
Speaker 1I mean they love just having funny and having you know being crazy and stuff like that, but like many times like you'd go over there and be like you know, hey, come on, let's go dance, and stuff, and they're like no, all right, bitch that was, that was our day of being blocked face to face.
Speaker 2No, no, no question about it.
Speaker 1You were lucky that you didn't get the big old hand in your face, a big flat hand.
Projectile Vomit Incident Mid-Flight
Speaker 1Stop get away from me stalker, weirdo, anyways, yeah, yeah, yeah, that was crazy. But anyways, uh, dude man, you know I had a crazy and crazy experience of the day at work. I get on the plane, I'm getting doing our you know we're doing our florida turn, you know like we do, and uh, we're bored and it's all, everything's cool. We're like like, maybe five minutes from getting ready to close the door and you and you, you've been here, you know, you know the whole scenario. Everybody out there that's a flight attendant, we, you get the scenario where, like, there's a sense of time, we're ready to go.
Speaker 1All of a sudden, all of a sudden, this like pastor walks up and they're like, oh, this person, this guy in eight, eight a needs, a, needs your help. And I'm like, need my help? I'm like, why does he need my help? And so he like no explanation, nothing. So I walk back a few rows. I look behind the freaking bulkhead there. This dude had projectile vomited over the entire row and the seat in front of him and everybody is like wiping shit off them. It's going down the side wall. It's so nasty, it's all down his chest, it's all on the guy that's sitting in front of him, that had just boarded a plane. It was all over his arms, on both sides of his arms, where his armrest was, it was the pastors next to him in the seat. It splashed off the screens and stuff in front of them and all shot over to them. It was a disaster. I mean like, like, what's your first reaction? Something that's happened?
Speaker 2my first reaction is is you're looking at them like, oh my god?
Speaker 1yeah you gotta get everybody out of there yeah, it's like, oh my god, this, this has to be cleaned up. So now, now I'm like, okay, listen time just went right.
Speaker 1Now I'm just like commanding the situation, like I'm like you get up, go up front, go get, go try to clean up. We got towels and stuff. We'll get you up there, go up here, go this way. I'm like directing people, the guy there and he's just in a pool of like puke, puke, right, and I know, and he doesn't know what to do, right. So we're like bringing him stuff and trembling. Finally I'm like you're gonna need, you need to get up out of the seat. I mean, the guy wasn't even like moving, he was just like this total negative reaction to it and I'm like you got to get out of the seat, dude. We got it. So we had to call cleaners and you know, cleaners came there with sanitizers, spraying stuff and washing things out. I had them tearing up the seat cushions and all kinds of stuff to clean everything up. But that delayed us in the start of our day.
Speaker 2Okay, so here's the big question Was he intoxicated? Nope, so you knew you were going to throw up. No, he didn't know he was going to throw up, so this is what happened.
Speaker 1The guy he didn't know he was gonna throw up. So this is what everybody knows. So this is what happened. The guy had, like he was like elderly guy, he had had an exhausting weekend, grandchildren, all this stuff. He's like I'm so tired and he got on the plane and he passed out as soon as he got in the seat, like he sat down and he laid his head back and passed out and you know how you like, like the saliva or whatever goes back in the back of your throat and he had that choking sensation. Well, his gag reflex went off and he woke up to him, he dozed off and it was like muah.
Speaker 2Oh, everybody has that nasty slide stuff that goes back to your throat.
Speaker 1Yeah, dude. He was like I'm okay, I don't feel bad or anything, I'm just like I'm real tired and I fell asleep and I guess I choked or whatever and it made me throw up. And you made a bunch of friends now too, yeah. So then everybody in the plane, they were like, take him off, take him off Take him off. We don't want him on board. He doesn't look good, he looks pale, he looks bleak like this. This one guy was like just on me, like you know.
Speaker 2you know he doesn't look good, are you sure he just threw?
Speaker 1up over everybody. I'm like calm down, like literally, like people are reacting. I'm just like you know, this is this is not necessary it's the old guy that threw up it's an old guy. He threw up. You know the whole situation.
Speaker 2He was fine man, the whole entire flight but you know, here's the funny part if something would have went down, your ass had been on the line oh yeah, right, I mean, that's, that's one of those decision makers, because you have to make that decision where they go or not I would have done the same thing. I'd have been like, no, you guys got to chill out, he's fine yeah, the guy's fine, like I.
Speaker 1I went down the whole thing. I'm like you, you're sick. Do you have any? Any health problems? Do you know how you're feeling? The whole nine yards. He'd give me the whole scoop and give me all the information. I was like this guy's fine, it just happened.
Speaker 2Do you want a Tic Tac? A Tic Tac, he's got some nasty-ass breath man.
Speaker 1Well, he had a backpack with him and it all went on the backpack. It was just like the whole thing was soiled. I literally had to give him a trash bag to put his backpack in for the rest of the flight.
Speaker 2I still say you need a Tic Tac Right. I'm telling you, man, you got some nasty ass breath. This motherfucker needs some Tic Tacs.
Speaker 1You need some Tic Tacs? Yeah, but at that point you know you don't want to give him anything that he's going to choke on.
Speaker 2Oh, up and give him anything that he's gonna choke on. Just give him a damn tic-tac. You, it was like don't give him anything, because give him a damn tic-tac his breast stinks.
Speaker 1Yeah, dude. Anyways, the other thing, man, that happened to me too is um. So I'm going back to work and you know I'm transferring. Right, I'm going to newark, you're transferred, I am transferred, I am, you're done, transfer you're not.
Speaker 1You're not here anymore I'm out of this home. I've been here forever, 30-some years. Anyways, I go over to. I had this great plan Like here's the plan I'm going to go to Newark and as a flight attendant, I'm going to go there. I want flexibility. I know if I bid international, I'm a big senior flight attendant People will take my trips. You know our company lets just go down to zero.
Speaker 1I can now pick up out of base. I can come here to cleveland. I'll fly on the days that I want to fly under my terms, under my schedule, and that's the flexibility of the job. You know I'm like that's what I want to do. So I do that. And you know I hold dubai okay. So I get to. You know I'm like, oh, all right, cool, I'm gonna, this is gonna go quick because dubai, over in newark, is a very to. You know I'm like, oh, all right, cool, I'm gonna, this is gonna go quick because dubai, over in newark is a very hot you know hot destination. It's a great layover city. It you know it's super modern. Everybody loves the hotel um, we, it's a marriott hotel. So we get points and stays and all that stuff, so that you know it's a win-win for everybody. So then I'm like okay, I'm ready to clear my schedule and like three hours before I am getting ready, the whole open time is getting ready and hoping, and people are ready to take my trips. Guess what happens.
Speaker 2I kind of know where this is going, but go ahead yeah.
Speaker 1Our airline announces all flights to Dubai are canceled till further notice.
Speaker 2Somebody didn't look at the news Right, so maybe you need to crawl out of that manhole and look at the news.
Speaker 1So now my commuting from Cleveland to Newark and me thinking like, oh my gosh, there is a I'm going to be canceled. So now I'm going to be sitting on reserve over a new work I like this is a total nightmare and possibility. Like I'm like, oh my, what the hell have I gotten myself into? And luckily, because our coworkers aren't as sharp as we would like them to be always, these people weren't paying attention. And three, hours later it's shovel yeah exactly three hours later, those dubai trips pop, pop, pop, pop, gone man.

Speaker 1yeah, I mean, like you know, like all, it's not just our airline, like every airline that's going over to that whole, you know, area of possible war getting ready to happen.
Speaker 2I mean is yeah, we don't fly commercial airplanes where there's potential war, or yeah, or, missiles yeah, missiles are not good. You know where that doesn't happen? Where's that? Jackson Hole Jackson.
Speaker 1Hole yeah.
Speaker 2So wow, you're getting Dubai, I'm going to Jackson Hole. I ain't got to worry about a war breaking out in Jackson.
Speaker 1Hole Right. Yeah, you got to worry about bear.
Speaker 2They got bear spray. Be sure to get some bear spray, right, right.
Speaker 1There, be sure to get some bear spray. There's always dangers everywhere you go in the world.
Speaker 2This is the lesson of this, that shit was funny, though, because you guys planned on getting rid of all your shit and you had that old shit moment. I know that, because there's no way, if you guys understand what they were doing. They were basically getting rid of their whole schedule, and then what happens is that, if they cancel everything, they all became domestic flight attendants, so their ass would have had to go on to Newark and fly out of. Newark.
Speaker 1At the mercy of the company and you have to be in location to do that. So like I'm not flying over once a week just to be sitting around just for the company to make, calls.
Speaker 2I would have laughed my ass off, Sean. Yeah, what are you doing? A West Palm turn, no no dude, that would have cracked me up, man.
Speaker 1Yeah, I'm going to tell you right now I would have been very ill for a month, for a month, Doctors something. Something's happened, you know I got. I have no idea because that shit was not happening, but anyways, man, the other thing that happened, you know I was thinking about this, the switch topics here. I was thinking about this. I had a celebrity come on, you know, and we get celebrities all the time on our planes right.
Speaker 1Yeah, I mean like they come on and on and you know, after like 35 years of this whole stuff, celebrities are people. I mean it doesn't matter who, who they are doesn't matter, I mean this is how it's just that they got a different job to us.
Speaker 1They got a higher profile, so people know who they are, whatever. But they're just normal people and so this person comes on and they're just doing their whole. You know, know normal routine and everything. And I started. You know, I've had the good celebrities and I've had these bad celebrities on board aircraft. Have you ever had bad celebrities or? You can think of them.
Speaker 2Not really, I mean most one. Yeah, I can think of one.
Speaker 1Yeah, what happened?
Speaker 2Well, his, he was traveling with his boyfriend. Okay, all right, and we were blocking the cockpit.
Speaker 1You know how we block when the plane comes out, they had to go to the bathroom.
Speaker 2So he starts getting up and coming towards the cockpit door and I told him. I said, sir, you're going to have to return to your seat, sure, and he goes, I'm going to the bathroom. I said no, you don't understand. The cockpit's out, you need to return your seat. And he goes, I'm just going to stand right here. Said no, you, you can't stand first class. If you're going to stand, you can stand back by the bulkhead, can't stand here. And he goes, I'm going to stand right here. And I said he goes, what if I, what if I make a motion towards you?
Speaker 2and I said your day gets real bad right they don't understand that shit right they just, they just wait a minute. They, they just think. They just think that everybody is as passive, right, they ain't gonna do anything. But you know just, I don't care that you're a celebrity well, that's what I'm saying, who you are.
Speaker 1Well, I was getting ready to say, like it goes back to what I how I started this thing. You know, they're all just people yeah, just people.
Speaker 2Especially when you pull shit like that, you're definitely just a person you're a person that's gonna get your ass whooped real quick, but but you're just a person yeah, we're gonna treat you just like everybody else and we're gonna have that we charge the cockpit door yeah, I mean anybody.
Speaker 1If you're gonna do some stupid stuff like that, we're gonna, we're definitely gonna react just like donkey like we're yeah, we're gonna react exactly how we're supposed to react.
Speaker 2Wait a minute. Thank God most people they turn around and go sit down. I mean, I'm joking around with you, but most people they go to turn around. But every once in a while you're right you have these assholes that they think they can do whatever they want to do, and they're not. They're just people. That's all they are. They're just people.
Speaker 1Yeah, and my point to this whole thing was like I was like I've had I've had like it feels like hundreds and hundreds of celebrities on board aircraft over the years and I've never really had any problems with any of them, Like cause I've always treated them like people Right, and I have some fun stories with some of them.
Speaker 1Some of them, you know, some of them, are very talkative. I just like it's great to like be able to just connect with people and you get to realize that these people are just people leading their life, normal lives. You know, like this is what they're doing. It might not be a normal life, but it's like they're leading their lives the best they can do. And and I had, I had one where this gal came on and she was in a whole entire, our entire first class was filled with nothing but celebrities and so all the city seats were like different levels of celebrities and you know, and all this stuff, they were all heading to a, an event, and this one gal out of the whole group decides to treat us like we're like the help.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, like I go to. I go to, like you know, I get to the row and I'm going down to each row and I'm asking them what they'd like to drink and eat and all that stuff. And I get to her and you know and I'm like, hey, I'm going to ask you a question, what would you like to drink today? And she kind of looks at me and she like leans over to her assistant that's sitting next to her and is like, tell him that I'll have a Coke.
Speaker 2I can't stand that.
Speaker 1I'm looking at them going if you can see my face right now. I'm like I had to. I like it Like. I'm telling you right now like anybody, I don't care who you are and what you do, how famous you think you are. If you treat any other human being like that, where you can't even address them face-to-face, I mean you're less of a human yourself. You know what I'm saying, that's how I feel and my reply, and you know what my reply is going to be. I looked straight at her and I said if you're incapable of directly talking to me, you may not get any service on this flight.
Speaker 2Now see, I would have jacked with her. Could you ask her if she wanted ice in that glass?
Speaker 1Yeah, back and forth. Can you tell her that I may put ice in there or may not, but would she like it or not?
Speaker 2like it. Did she want me to touch the rim or not touch the rim? I mean like come on are you kidding me you? Can't. But you know that that does happen, because even even with the kids, sometimes they're traveling and they're whispering between each other and I'm like I'm right here yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1Well, I mean with kids, I like I get that whole like the shyness level or things like that.
Speaker 2You know, I'm saying they end up being that damn celebrity that starts talking to their assistant right, right, right.
Speaker 1So I'm like, but I mean who this person was? And I'm not saying any names or anything because I don't want to like, uh, you know, get onto that whole thing where people like you know defamation of character and all that stuff, but it's just. It just came to me the other day because I had this celebrity on board and they were actually just real cool, real relaxed, but like the crew was reacting this person because this person was kind of controversial, you know. So they were like oh, what they're, what are they like?
Speaker 2And I'm like they were normal, like Ooh, what they're, what are they like? And I'm like they were normal, like I, I you know, I'm sorry, but I always laugh because I'm standing there and I know when we take their orders. When we're standing there, I'm like she, she realized I'm here, right, I'm standing right here. I could actually hear what she's saying, right, I mean, it's the stupidest thing.
Speaker 1Yeah, it's stupid, but you were the help. Yeah, I was the help you're like mr belvedere, but you don't wear the vest yeah, well, I I don't want to bring this other thing. The person that I'm talking about also was african-american, as well as myself, and they were treating me like this too, and I was like oh, are you for real like this? There was a whole another level of dynamics going on here that I was like you're, this shit is not happening right now. This is not going to, especially with you.
Speaker 2That shit ain't going to fly.
Speaker 1Like I'm literally you're almost like on borderline of me saying you know you're incapable of being on this flight.
Speaker 2I surprised you guys. Oh, hell no.
Speaker 1Hell, no, you ain't not talking to me like that. Yeah, this ain't any, yeah, but anyways, yeah, it's crazy man.
Speaker 2But you know what goes with bad passengers, though, what's that? You get bad crew members, man, bad crew members, stupid ones sometimes.
Speaker 1Well, you know, bad crew members just like get under my skin and you know they're like the talk of our town, are they not like? Everybody knows who's a bad, who's the bad employee and what they do and it doesn't?
Speaker 1this goes for any work environment it doesn't matter if it's flight attendants, or you work in an office or you work in a factory or whatever you, wherever you work, when you have somebody that doesn't pull their weight or doesn't like interact with everybody else, well, I mean, you bring this this. You come to work knowing that this person is going to act and behave a certain way and you're like, oh, this is like dread, right, I don't want, I don't want to be a part of it. This stuff. Well, I had, I had this gal that and this is one of the reasons why I left Cleveland is because the flexibility of my schedule and everything I've been fighting with that and I'm trying to get rid of my trips here in Cleveland and I couldn't do that. But then the last month I'm here, I get this line with this gal that in two-thirds of the base she's blacklisted. Right, I mean you, she's blacklisted, right, I mean I mean you, I know who I'm talking about but it's like I just was like this is some bullshit now.
Ozempic Epidemic Among Flight Crews
Speaker 1So like because because we were in a small town, here's this gal. She makes everybody, she's just, she's just a bad person Basically overall, just like it's miserable I, I don't think it's, I, I just think it's miserable yeah, she's.
Speaker 1She's had so many events in her life that have drawn her into this, like this abyss of what she is now, that you know she doesn't even realize it, and I had heard that there was another flight attendant that said something to her. I don't know if this is true or something. I really haven't investigated the whole thing, but I had to fly with this gallon. She is miserable, dude, I mean I. Here's an example of how bad she is. Okay, she's. She's on our jump seat where we're taking off and I get up after we do our, you know, welcome announcement and we're almost to like altitude and she looks at me and she's like you're getting up and I'm like, yeah, I'm like getting up to you know, get ready to go, I gotta, we gotta take orders and all that stuff. She's like, she's like I don't do that and I'm like you, be you and sit there.
Speaker 2Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1Yeah, you do, yeah, you do, and I'll continue to do my job. So then she finally gets up. I'm taking orders to come back into the first clock, galley, and I'm like here's orders, all this stuff, and I'm waiting there for hot towels right for, because we have a meal service getting ready to happen. And she's like you know, is it okay? We don't do hot towels because I'm hot and here goes the lazy I'm like.
Speaker 1I'm like, give me hot towels, give it to me like, give me a couple things water. I'm like this is, this is like beyond read. I just it was like I'm like and I'm chewing everything possible to the like they not bite. This is like beyond read. I just it was like. I'm like and I'm chewing everything possible to not bite my tongue Right. Like and you know, and like I'm like I don't want to get into confrontation with this gal on board the aircraft, I don't want to get in conversation with her at all period at work because you know there's not the place to do it, right. But at the same time's, like you know, where's that line where we like, when you say, okay, you know what, enough is enough. When we like, okay, we need to talk to somebody else, like management about this. Like this is experience, everybody's experiencing this. Like, how do you feel about that?
Speaker 2it's funny because I I just had a conversation with another flight attendant and, um, well, as far as um, our job and talking to someone, well, you know, we have a code of silence, sure, because you, you know the way, the same as as her being bad. Us going to anyone else to deal with this other than deal with it personally, is not good either, because you, you go to someone else and you, just, you know, we take care of this at home because a lot of times they burn themselves, and you know that, and in our job they take care of themselves. Unfortunately, it takes a long time.
Speaker 1Yeah, I mean, the process is really long and and and the thing is, is that, um, I would say the majority of our coworkers will not address anything, like they're not going to say anything. They just let this person go down in flames slowly by themselves, right?
Speaker 2But here's, I mean here's a situation to where it's like here's. What's really funny is the passengers have no idea. You guys can't stand each other, right, they have zero Right Cause you're out, you're out in there, you're the face out there and this other person's in the galley and and all you're thinking about is how much you hate this person in the galley because you can't stand it. You're sitting there waiting freaking five minutes for one damn drink. How long does it take you to freaking put ice in a damn cup, put the shit in there and give me the damn thing? Right, but no, it just takes forever. Everybody else has done and their ass is just getting there and else is done and their ass is just getting started and then, and then you, they know when you're annoyed with them, they slow their ass down even more.
Speaker 1Yeah right, slow down. And then here here's. Here's what she was doing on on our service like the meal. There's a. We had several different meal choices and everything, and if she didn't like something on the meal she wouldn't do it. So, like we had a chicken dish and there was like a sauce that's supposed to be go over this chicken, she was like oh, I don't like that sauce, I'm not putting it on the chicken oh, that was for you to like.
Speaker 2You're not like.
Speaker 1I know I'm like, I'm like it's so, I'm like so. Then we had a different chicken day and she was like she's okay with that, and she puts it. I'm like so that one's like why are you making choices for somebody? That you're applying your own personal stuff to this person? You know, like, just serve it how it's supposed to be served. They can, uh, figure it out right, like it was like it was so crazy. But then here's the, here's a the kicker to the thing, like not only is she a bad flight attendant, she's also like doing bad stuff on the job, like stuff that's like totally against the rules of what we're doing. I mean, she's, she's a big smoker, so she's, she's goes in the bathroom, she's vaping Nope.
Speaker 2I mean, I'm like see on that part of it, If, if, if, if, if, if I seen you're, you're lucky. Because if, if you're in the lavatory doing it and I can't prove it, if I can't prove it, that's one thing. But if I see you in the galley or you do that in the galley, nope, you're, nope, you're going to. That's the one time you're going to have to go explain to somebody, because here's what happens If you're vaping, if a crew member's vaping on the plane and a passenger sees that you're vaping and I see that I'm also responsible for that, because we're not supposed to allow passengers. If passengers can't do it, your ass ain't doing it. I'm straight out telling you you're not going to do it, Because if that happens, then we're going to have a problem.
Speaker 1But there's that line I'm talking about. That's what I was just back to At that point. That flight attendant, he or she jumped over that line.
Speaker 2That was your decision. When you cross that kind of line, that was your decision when you, when you cross that kind of line, that that one was your decision. Okay, now on that one. If you do like that now, you're putting my job in jeopardy. No, your ass is going down, not me. I ain't going down on this one because because you're doing it in front of other people and they can see you.
Speaker 1So so that's my whole point to this whole thing. Like it's like a there is a line and where do you know? And like you were talking about the code of silence and stuff. Like where does that stop with this person? That just continues to be the bad behavior. Not, not only is she just a, she's a miserable person. She's like she brings her misery to the job and then she's like working with it, with us, and then then she starts like pushing it to the, the, the limit, where she's like breaking the rules of our job.
Speaker 2That's where you right there. Okay, right there. Yeah, that's the line. Because because, see, when it becomes, um, they're miserable. We deal with a lot of freaking miserable people in our job and and and, like I said, the most of the passengers they don't. They don't know that we can't stand this person.
Pan Am Returns as Luxury Tour Service
Speaker 2Now we, we have flight attendants that are not just misery, that their ass is just slow. You know me, I can't work with slow people as much as I can't work with miserable people. Dude, you are like ultra fast. I can't work with slow people. If your ass is slow, trust me, on mine, you're on my no-fly list because I can't work with you. Because you know passengers, when they've seen me, they know that they're going to get a very efficient service, and that's just me. They ain't going to get some lazy-ass flight attendant lazy service. That ain't going to happen. But this what you're talking about, yeah, when you decide to cross over that line to where you're breaking the rules lines, not just a personality completely different thing, because now you just put my job in jeopardy and that shit ain't going to happen because you know in our business they'll bring all your asses in Right, and then you're going to have to explain why you didn't do something about this person that you did with passengers, and that shit ain't going to happen.
Speaker 1But so here's, here's the other thing. So now now you, you, you can you know the whole setup right here and everything. So now we're done with the service and everything. And now people are like just like being normal passengers and requesting things that are normal, and like I get this order where this guy's like hey, can I get some ice in my water? So I go up to the galley and I'm like hey, can you put some ice in water? And she's like that was her comment, this is ridiculous.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, okay, we want a hundred dollars an hour, but we're not worth nine, 95.
Speaker 1Right, right, right. I'm like I'm like I go for real. I go here, give me a scoop and I'm like I'm putting an ice in the drink. I'm like this is, this is crazy. We encounter this. It's just one person that we know of that and you and I both know. But it's like and many of our co-workers here in the area know, but it's like it continues to go on and on and on, and and yeah, eventually it's going to be somebody's going to like break and be like they're going to either go to management about her because she's doing something that she's not supposed to be doing and they've crossed she's crossed that line, or, or you're going to have, or you know she's going to like literally walk herself out of the job because, um, it just continues. Her behavior continues to be bad and bad about it well, when they break.
Speaker 2When they break the rules is usually um, when they break the rules, like vaping or doing something like that, they that's when they put the nail in the coffin and they're gone I mean they, they do do it to themselves.
Speaker 2I mean, and, like I said, that's where you've got to be careful, because in our job, as much as, like I said, I would love them being out too. But you know and I know that if you go somewhere else and you don't take care of it internally, you've got issues. But when it comes to breaking the rules like that, no, that's where you cross the line. I agree, man, that's it, I agree.
Speaker 1But so here's another situation with flight attendants, like that's been going on and this is very relatable to everybody in the world. That's happening. But how about these flight attendants that are like on Ozempic?
Speaker 2It's crazy. You know, I was telling you that about a week ago.
Speaker 1Ozempic had hit the airlines hard. Man, yeah, I mean, like these, these flight attendants like flight attendants in general, are very, you know, we are very vain people that we were out there and we, you know how we look and what we look like for the most part, our, our population, are very concerned with how we look and how we present ourselves. So we want to be professional, all that stuff. But you also, you know you, so we want to be professional stuff. But he also, you know you don't want to get be gaining weight and we have friends, just like in everywhere in life, like there's people that gain weight, you know, as we get older, the whole nine yards. But these girls now are taking Ozempic and and I'm not trying to just there's other things out there, there's the with goby and manjourno and all these different things.
Speaker 2But, um, we're just saying you know they're taking some form, they're saying some form of like unnatural weight loss medication that is um affecting it.
Speaker 1And these girls come to work and they're like so unhealthy looking. They look like skeletons. Like they're like they've gone too far, like they look like they look like sticks and skirts.
Speaker 2I mean, you know, they went. They went from having a natural body to the this. I don't even I can't.
Speaker 1It's hard to explain it now they get that olympic face, I mean yeah, I mean, everything's felt like that's what I would say the word spelt is comes to mind like you, just like everything is like uh, depleted off your body. There's no muscle tone to you. Uh, nothing looks like normal.
Speaker 2It looks very like you've been starving yourself well, that's what happens, though, right, I mean, this way, it deadens the senses as far as for eating. So I mean, you don't have the hunger craving. You don't have the hunger craving, so, but you know, when I started looking at that and there's a flight attendant that her sister actually is a doctor, and her sister is saying the problems that they were seeing coming in there, huge problems is with the kidneys, right, and you think about this? Really, the way the organs work, our organs work, that food comes in, digests, you know, but when you don't have any food coming in, there's no digestive going on. You're shutting down your digestive system. It is basically not working. So you go through this whole period of time where your digestive system is not working, and even doctors have talked about this. They're wondering down the road not right now, but down the road what happens when you go back and you try to kickstart this digestive system that you shut down? Yeah, is it working correctly?
Speaker 1they're saying that, like these people do, like they gain a lot of weight when they come off of it and all that stuff, it's like all that stuff happens, starts happening. But I mean you know to your point about the your digestive system. You, if you shut down that system, it's it's kind of like the faucet in your house, like if you turn off the faucet for too long, what's going to happen? You're going to start getting all these bad chemical sediments and you're in the plumbing and all this stuff and that goes to your kidneys. So the filtration system, you literally like now you're settling toxins in your kidneys and that's why all these problems are happening.
Speaker 1So I mean your digestive system is so important, like to keep that still circulating, you know, and that's you know you got to keep the plumbing in your body working because I know all too well, believe me, I had personal encounters with my digestive system shutting down.
Speaker 1I ended up having a tumor in my digestive system and had to be taken out and then it wouldn't restart. When they connect me all back up and I sound like I'm like just plumbing in the house, but I mean it's super serious. I mean it's like a life or death thing If you don't keep your system working. You know, and these things enhance that ability to for you to like stop stop doing this. You know behavior of eating and drinking and acting normal, like a normal human, but it's, it's just, it's. It's super scary. I just wanted to bring that whole thing up because I was like we we are encountering more and more employees now that we work with that are like that are taking this, and then then there's a whole aspect of like you, we all know you're taking it and then they're lying.
Speaker 2They're lying. It's a psychological thing too, because you know when you're taking this. You know I work out all the time. And when they're saying, oh yeah, I work out, I do that, no, that's bullshit. You do not. Because let me tell you something. First of all, you don't have muscle mass. You're dropping down.
Speaker 2It gets to a certain amount of food and stuff like that. So in the unhealthy parts of it, right when you start, this is what kills me is like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, decreased in appetite Okay, well, no shit, it's shutting off your appetite. So you have none. So it's not a decrease, you have none. So they get to a certain point and what's happened? And we've seen this right, they look good at like this one point. They get to a point and they're like, oh, they look good, right, yeah, but then it continues because you keep not eating. And then, all of a sudden, you went from okay, maybe, to where you didn't look so good, and then you think that you look really good and then, all of a sudden, you don't realize that you're looking like a skeleton.
Speaker 1Yeah, not looking good again.
Speaker 2Not looking good on the other side of it. So then what do you do? You start getting off of it and then you eat again, you start putting on the weight. And this happened with, actually, a girl. I talked to her and she she had got off of it and she started eating again. And the reason why she got off of it? She was losing hair. Yeah, she's losing hair, Okay. But I told her and she and I was like, did you get back on it? She goes, yeah, she goes, cause I was putting on weight. I said yeah, but you said you were losing hair and she goes. Well, I am. I said, well, you want to be a skinny, bald chick, Right? I mean it doesn't make any sense. I mean it's just stupid. You just go from feeling bad, looking okay good and then going bad, and then all of a sudden, if it happens, it balloons the other way, but anyway.
Speaker 1All this stuff always reminds me, like, when we're thinking and envisioning all this stuff, like to me, it reminds me of like know, world war ii and the, the jews being like starved to death and all that stuff. Like all that stuff that you saw and how the body reacts when they're, when that happens, you know, and all the things you just said. You know hair loss and, uh, you know functions of the body and stuff shut down. It's just, it's sad that all these people are like doing this. And yes, we all, like you know if you're a little heavy, yes, you want to lose some weight, but there's a, there's a limit. Like you need to know when.
Speaker 2Just get on a good diet, just do it. Yeah, your body, your body, it will react. All you have to do is not is is not put that food in it and your body will basically burn the fat off. But anyway, like I said, we just want to touch on it because I mean, it was epic. That craze has hit the airlines and a lot of flight attendants. Unfortunately they're, they're jumping into it and I just hope that they don't have a lot of problems later on.
Speaker 1But let's go around the globe, brother Around the globe, man Guess who is back in town, who? Pan Am? No way, Really Pan Am man. I was like they, literally. I guess somebody got the name and decided they were going to restart Pan Am. But it's not like flying like the word. Flying Like this is not an airline where we're like going and doing turns and this is passenger carrying service. It's actually Pan Am's turning into like a tour service. So these planes are there, they're going to take off from New York, whatever, and they're going to go to Bermuda, portugal, france, uk. It's kind of like a like going on a ship right and going on a cruise.
Speaker 1Right, yeah, and so that's what this whole thing. It's like this one package. You're going on this like tour around the world you're going to do. There's like 50 seats on this plane, everything's business class, lay flat seats, you know, first class service, that you know for the meals and all that stuff. It's just a giant tour but it's all on pan am and everything is like retro okay, so it's like a cruise, so how much is that gonna cost?

Speaker 1well, that is the problem. The problem is is that for a couple it's like a cruise. So how much does that gun cost? Well, that is the problem. The problem is that for a couple it's going to be just about $60,000 for two people to go on there, but if you're just going there by yourself as a solo travel, it's about $65,000 $65,000 for an in-flight cruise, yeah, okay.
Speaker 2Well, they should have named it In-N-Out, because their ass is coming in and their ass is going out at that price.
Speaker 1There ain't no way in hell. Yeah, it's going to be very interesting to see if they can sustain this type of model.
Speaker 2In-N-Out. You remember this conversation. I'm telling you, this is like In-N-Out buddy, you're coming in, your ass is going out there. Ain't no way, there's no way, you're gonna get that you might get a couple people, but you're gonna go on there, you're gonna have this whole plane. You're gonna have like a couple, yeah, I think it launches this week.
Speaker 1So it's gonna be very interesting to see who who is. Um, you know, so you're you're really catering to like millionaires here, like these are like millionaires that have lots of time, they want to do some world travel, blah, blah, blah, all that stuff. But it it was wild when I saw that other thing, man, that's happening also around the globe is, uh, man, the, all the news and reports and stuff coming in from the air india. Um, they recovered that black box and uh, it's been super interesting to me, like to watch all the different aspects and angles of what they're talking about. But, uh, sum it up in a nutshell right here um, I've heard reports of, like you know the one thing that's true from the black box and recorders that the, the pilot declared that there was a power, power failure.
Speaker 1You know they had total power failure. That's why he called out mayday and all that stuff. Um, but there's a couple of different reasons, like I heard one where, like the seat in the, in the captain's seat, slid back, which actually hit the controls that brought them back and locked them into position, and the first officer wasn't experienced enough to grab the thing to push them forward, and all that stuff, and that was one theory whatever. And then they had, uh, you know, the ram air, uh turbine that dropped down, that they're all yeah, I've seen that.
Speaker 1See that the rat, um, yeah, the rat, so that they're all that see that, that rat, um, yeah, the rat, so the that thing you know, but that thing it doesn't give. It doesn't give you power, like thrust, it gives you electrical power so you can operate, so the plane can glide down, um, like it had deployed, so that you know, the pilots can manually deploy it and the plane can deploy it itself automatically if it like loses power. So that was a whole nother you know. They don't know what was going on, what did they? And then there was a new engine put on, so they were like that was a weird thing. So it's, it's wild how this whole thing is developing and everything but, um, yeah, the air entity thing is going to be very interesting mystery to follow I think it's going to take a little bit of time on this one.
Speaker 2Yeah, it's still sad, though I mean it's it's sad well, here's the other thing, too, like we.
Speaker 1We. There's been lots of focus on all the people that were on the plane, but on the ground my last reports were like there was like 33 people on the ground hit like a training facility for like doctors and all this stuff. You know. There's all these people on the ground that lost their lives too. So the the total, I guess, is getting really close to like 300 people. Yeah, so it's pretty bad. Anyways, man, we're gonna we're gonna wrap up this show here with our uh quote and the quote. What's the quote today, gee?
