  • re: are-we-going-to-die flights

    I was on one flying out of LA. We jettisoned the fuel and landed in Vegas. The odd thing about the experience was that although the stated problem was that we had one engine go out, our captain appeared to be drunk. He came on the intercom and slurred something incomprehensible. The flight attendant took the mic afterwards and tried to calm everyone down, but it didn't really help much. I'm still wondering if the real problem was a problem with the captain.

    I can't say how often this sort of thing occurs, but I'm not exactly a frequent flyer.
