  • Nice list....

    In terms of the crew speaking during the flight I think for me it all depends. Although I no longer fly as mush for a number of years I travelled in excess of 200,000 miles per year. I could recite all the safety information from memory. I usually did not like a very chatty pilot ("Right now we're flying over Topeka, my hometown") but at times they can be quite illuminating. There is nothing like flying at night in the early evening arounf July 4th. Or cirling around some weather and seeing the storm inside.

    I HATE it when the SW flight attendants do a floor show.
