Southwest Flight attendents or comedians?

[Svhadden]

I was on a flight once, and we were Briefly delayed for take off. So the FA's were keeping the passengers occupied by playing trivial pursuit. Their questions/answers from the passengers were hilarious. I even won a bottle of wine for answering a certain question . It was a wonderful way to pass our delay lol

By the way, the question was "What was the name of Don Quixote's lady-love?". Who can answer WITHOUT GOOGLING IT lol? And for the record, I gave both of her names .

I love the SW jokes!!!

There is also one about the smoking fine being $250, and followed by the FA saying, "....and lets face it, if you had an extra $250 to spend, you wouldn't be flying Southwest!"

We really enjoy the FA's on SW.

My other favorite line is "Wear your seat belt low and tight across your hips...just like JLo."

I heard this one in April, only it was "just like Brittany Spears".

I thoroughly enjoy the humor that SW inserts into their flights. I've been on flights where the Yankees fan pilot was inserting cracks about the Red Sox (flight from Manchester), flights where they thanked us for flying and told us they appreciate that we "can't afford the other airlines", and my personal favorite, "in the event of an evacuation, the flight attendants will be right behind you with the peanuts and beer". The humor DOES help to remember what they're telling, and it makes a less than pleasant situation more bearable.

This is one of the great reasons we choose SW.

My kids caught the one save the kids with the most potential, the oldest was a little startled! On one late late flight someone repeatly was passing horrible gas, the flight attendant stated very loudly that they should be ashamed of themselves and get up and go to the bathroom.

I was on a United flight where the whole spiel was done as a poem. The one line I remember was "Your seat cushion can help you float. You'll need it if our plane becomes a boat."

Hilarious.

BTW, I love your name. My daughter's name is Brook (no "e") and she was born in 76.

I havent flown SW in awhile but my coworker just flew from ORF to BWI and since it was a short flight she told me the flight attendants told them since it was a short flight they didnt have time to pass out peanuts so if they wanted some grab them as they came down the aisle. They were sliding them down the aisle as the plane was taking off! I would have loved to seen that!

We are big fans of SW. While I love airports and love taking off and landing, I HATE being in the air (which is opposite most people). The humor amongst most the FA's really helps to put me at ease. It's nice to see a group of people/company that is a bit more relaxed, especially when you see what the deal with (if you don't know what I am talking about, watch "On The Fly" on TLC or Destination America).

I started a thread similar to this once and it got closed down. I posted a video of the rapper. I love flight attendants like this. Eventually there were the other posters who don't like this type of stuff and the thread got heated. Hopefully it won't happen to this one.

Other jokes I've heard:

If you're sitting near the emergency exit, you're the smart one. You get to jump out first and let everyone else fend for themselves.

It is a federal offense to tamper with the smoke alarms. Anyone caught tampering with them will be "DROPPED" off at the first available jail.

Should we have a water evacuation and you can't swim.... (bows head and hums TAPS).

We had a very pregnant flight attendant one year. The male flight attendant finished the whole entire safety announcement, he finished by saying,

"Anyone who has small children in diapers who need changing, please feel free to bring them forward. We have someone that could use a great deal of practice."

She just looked like she wanted to melt into the floor.....but laughed. He must have been known as a character!

On our last trip they made up words to "When You Wish Upon a Star" about flying Southwest. It was very cute.

 

[DCTooTall]

heh...

My first ever flight on Southwest was a flight to Orlando. After we landed while taxiing to the terminal (It can be a LONG taxi), the FA said...

"Thank you for flying Southwest. As you can tell, The reason we are able to offer our flights for so much less than the other guys is we only fly you halfway. We have landed in Jacksonville and will be arriving in Orlando in a little over an hour."

There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways off this aircraft.

In the event there is a decrease in cabin pressure, oxygen masks will fall from above your head. After you stop screaming, here is how you put one on. If you are traveling with a small child, put yours on before assisting your child. If traveling with 2 small kids, decide now which one you love more.

Welcome to Baltimore where the local time is 7:30 and the temp is 75 degrees. Thank you for flying Southwest and remember that nobody loves you or your money more then us.

After a hard landing...."Please remain seated while captain crash taxis what's left of the aircraft to the gate."

To the tune of Barney's "I love you, you love me..."

"We love you, you love us, we're much faster than the bus. We hope you enjoy our hospitality. Marry one of us and you'll fly free..."

Flight from Detroit to NYC JFK on Spirit:

"Please do not stow other peoples children in the overhead compartment" and the old stand by "if you're traveling with two children, help the one you love the most first"

I flew for work on SW from Raleigh to Chicago and back. ON the way up, the FAs had the peanuts race the pretzels. Right side of the place was the pretzels chearing section, left was the peanuts.

They placed a bag of each in the center aisle at the front, and they raced to the back of the plane as we taxied, took off, and climbed.

Then they told us on the way down that they weren't dong another race because one person asked for 3 bags of each at snack service, so they had to feed him the racers from the floor.
