This is for all of you flying out this weekend. You'd better pray you don't get this flight crew!!!!!
Two men dressed in Pilots' uniforms walk up the aisle of the plane. Both are wearing dark glasses, one is using a guide dog, and the other is tapping his way along the aisle with a cane. Nervous laughter spreads through the cabin, but the men enter the cockpit, the door closes, and the engines start up.

Nervous laughter spreads through the cabin, but the men enter the cockpit, the door closes, and the engines start up.
The passengers begin glancing nervously around, searching for some sign that this is just a little practical joke. None is forthcoming.
The plane moves faster and faster down the runway, and the people sitting in the window seats realize they're headed straight for the water at the edge of the airport territory. As it begins to look as though the plane will plough into the water, panicked screams fill the cabin.
At that moment, the plane lifts smoothly into the air. The passengers
relax and laugh a little sheepishly, and soon all retreat into their magazines, secure in the knowledge that the plane is in good hands.
In the cockpit, one of the blind pilots turns to the other and says, "You
know, Bob, one of these days, they're gonna scream too late and we're all gonna die."

Ah but after reading this joke they'll realise how lucky they really are!!re: Friday's Joke
I`m sure i have flown with those two but it was on a flight into Corfu (we overshot the end of the runway in the rain, ended up with the nose over the main road)Way back in the 70`s when travelling to the Greek islands was an adventure in itself (done it by bus as well via Athens, o my god, the memories)

Hi Steve
Yes we've been to Greece many times also. Always an experience but lovely people.
Our worst experience flying though was coming back from Canada last year when we had an aborted take-off. It took 3 hours for them to check out the aircraft and then they said they couldn't find anything wrong with it. In these circumstances you have no choice but to trust the flight crew.
Still in one piece though.
Have a good weekend.
8 sleeps to go. Sorry to rub it in.

God!! i think that would worry me as well, i mean what do they do, do they say
to each other on take-off `h'mmm this don`t feel right' better get it checked out.
And then not to find anything !!! and take off again. Its not like having a noise from
under your car is it, it is an aircraft with 300+ passengers flying at 30,000 ft.
I must confess that both my sister and brother-in-law are aircraft techs for BA
originally at Heathrow but now working out of the Isle of Man. The stories they ...

they are not true (are they???)
Eight days to go eh.... Yeh, you keep rubbin it in

What happened on this particular occasion was that as we accelerated down the runway the pilot thought he felt an engine surge so stopped accelerating and slammed the brakes on. We were then taken back to have it checked out surrounded by fire engines due to the risk of fire. We couldn't leave the plane because we weren't at the terminal building.
Apparently Calgary is prone to high winds and when the engineers couldn't find a fault the pilot thought that was what he probably felt but ...

Not to be recommended for the nervous flier. Would still go back to Banff tomorrow though if I had the money. Mega skiing.
