On Saturday I was on a plane to Penang from KL and as we touched down the voice over the PA gave me something to think about. After the usual we hope you have a nice day yadda yadda yadda, the stewardess then mentions "We would like to remind you that removing life jackets from the plane is an offence."

Whoa...I mean of all the things you could steal off a plane that would be the last thing I'd think about! I mean yeah take blankets, magazines, pillows...but a lifejacket? what on earth are we going ot do with those? Guess you could take the whistle and the flashlight but that's a little excessive isn't it? But trust an announcement like that to be made in Malaysia right?

Just one last thought though...If they give you lifevests on a ship, why don't they give you parachutes on a plane?

Costs far more to replace a parachute than a life jacket i guess!!

So what did you take anywhere?

typical of budget Air Asia flights there was nothing to steal to begin with! aside from the lifejacket though...unless someone got to it before I did!

maybe those life preservers are back in a la 'back to the future' style! lol.

btw, I'd take your announcement way over the one I got on China Air. "Due to mechanical difficulties, please gather your belongings and exit the plane." Apparently the loud grinding noise we heard as we were taxi'in towards the runway was that of engine failure. Holly canoli! :@

That's the last time I ever consider flying China Air! Then again after watching Day After Tomorrow, I'd have to consider the sanity of anyone who chooses to fly again...including myself!

What did you expect from Air Asia then?? You can get around with less than Bht. 1,000.-

Nong.,. really wanna know why don't they provide parachute on A/C.. coz you can't open the A/C door anyway, or even you could, it would be the incident called "decompression"

And what they all pax grasp with them.. they try to take everything they can.. just normal !! And you know why Airasia announces this.. Coz almost 200-300 lifevests are already taken away by pax.. heheehe Maybe they took it coz they need it as floating device for their children in pool !! :')

If you ask me what I have taken from A/C .. at my house.. only 2 thing i haven't had yet.. A/C and Captain !!! lolz

Dang!! Gin and I thought you'd take the whole trolley load of alcoholic beverages..hmm frankly to me theres nothing worth to take on board a plane..i wanna take the stewardesses but i hey the quality can be as bad at the food they serve on board sometimes (could it be that Gin is no longer flying?) hahah

Airasia doesn't serve any food and drink but they sell instead !!

If i am still flying ..maybe i am worth to take away (back home tho) lolz --

Hey the quality of food on board is fabuious na but it is just not yummy, that's it !!

Believe me !!

hehehe

Hahah Gin u must be talkin about me! Quality is good but just not handsome, rich, romantic, caring, sweet etc etc...Muahah oppss phom mai luong tua eng chai mai?

hahahaha ..

Talok talok, chob chob.. mai luong tua eng rok ja..

Pulling Out

A thai woman and her son were flying Thai Airlines from Bangkok to Singapore. The son (who had been looking out the window) turned to his mother and said, "If big dogs have baby dogs and big cats have baby cats, why don't big planes have baby planes?"

The mother (who couldn't think of an answer) told her son to ask the flight attendant. So the boy asked her, "If big dogs have baby dogs and big cats have baby cats, why don't big planes have baby planes?"

The stewardess asked, "Did your mother tell you to ask me?" He nodded. So the stewardess said, "Tell your mother that Thai airline always pulls out on time."

i guess no one would survive jumping out form a boeing or airbus with the parachute anyway.. at least the life vest to keep the dead body afloat...

Indman : what about the sanity of believing ing what you see in the "Day after tomorrow ? "
