This Guy is NOT A FOLK HERO !
747LeftSeat replied to 777flyer's topic in General Discussion Area - all of Canada
777flyer, your post is not a rant - it's right on the money. Everything you say is correct. The FA is in no way a hero. I hope he gets the help he needs. -
I've always found the louder the person on the cellphone is talking the more self-important that person is. Nowhere is this more prevalent than airline lounges. But I agree with all - either turn the phone off during an appointment or leave it in your car if you don't want to turn it off. It's so very rude to be interrupted by a ringing/vibrating phone.

Had lunch with Paul Newman on the beach in front of his house in Connecticut in the late 80s. I teach auto racing at a nearby race track and 2 summers ago I was humbled to have Jaques Villeneuve drive my car around the track MUCH quicker than I have ever been able to do it. Have taken John Travolta for a flight in my personal airplane.

Lack of Respect And Manners In General
747LeftSeat replied to 777flyer's topic in General Discussion Area - all of Canada
I hear you. More than once I've sort of wished I flew through CB just to show these people why we have to divert. I do wish people were more tolerant of events outside the control of mere mortals. I recently had an appointment with a lady that had to be canceled by her due to events outside her control. No big deal - things happen. I can (and will) rebook when my schedule permits. -
eye allergy relief? suggestions?
747LeftSeat replied to Carrie Moon's topic in General Discussion Area - all of Canada
My eyes have been really bad this year and the prescription eye drops Patanol helped a lot. As did Reactine 20mg daily. I also find rinsing my eyes with cold water several times a day helps. Washing my hands several times a day keeps irritation to a minimum when I accidentally touch my eyes with my hands. Showering and washing my face and hair before going to sleep helps keep my eyelids from seizing together overnight. -

Who Knows About What You Do?

I agree with the "trust no one" sentiment. The ONLY way to ensure total secrecy is to tell no one your secret. I learned this the hard way years ago. :( -

Bad people? Not at all, IMO. While I my be new to the hobby I have read most of the posts here on CERB and I have to point out just how friendly and caring SPs are, if their posts are anything to go by. -
A couple of pranks I've pulled in days gone by: 1. Tied a Rainbow Trout (purchased at the supermarket) to the exhaust manifold of a friend's car just as he was heading out on a long trip. 2. Tied the fuse of a fire-cracker to the internal element of a toaster. When my room-mate was later making toast, his very last slice of bread blew up inside the toaster.
