What raises a flight attendant’s blood pressure before the airplane even leaves the gate? This week on Cabin Pressure with Shawn & G, we talk about the boarding habits that drive crews crazy — blocked aisles, misplaced bags, last-minute lavatory runs, confused seat assignments, and passengers who suddenly need everything just as the door is about to close.
Then we go Around the Globe with some unbelievable aviation stories, including a passenger removing her clothes on an American Airlines flight, a violent Qatar Airways incident, and an emergency descent of roughly 27,000 feet in ten minutes that sent oxygen masks dropping.
We also share a great video from a newer flight attendant that leads to some advice from the “old dogs”: stick with it, learn from each other, and remember that both new and experienced crew members have something to teach.
Finally, we talk about staying positive when travel gets stressful, because delays, cancellations, difficult passengers, and unexpected changes are all part of the journey.
Another week of airline stories, crew life, laughs, and a little perspective — only on Cabin Pressure with Shawn & G.
And remember:
Good days give you happiness. Bad days give you experience. The worst days give you lessons. And the best days give you memories.
Welcome aboard another episode of Cabin Pressure with Shawn & G.
