I ran into some, erm, interesting United employees over the weekend while traveling, so here are a few (random) quotes:
- “I’ll leave you with my hand-picked onboard staff.” — A320 captain
- “We’ll be going 78% the speed of sound. For those of you used to taking Amtrak, that’d be about…. hmm, dot there, carry the one, add a zero, ah, 506 miles per hour.” — A320 captain
- “If you want to listen to our relentless negotiations with the government, feel free to follow along on Channel 9.” — A320 captain
- “If our flight turns into a cruise….” — CRJ flight attendant
- “Hmm, do you know how to work an iPhone? I’m trying to delete 60 pictures someone just put up of me on my Facebook page” — An RCC agent that was at least 75 years old
- “For those of you that don’t get out enough, here’s how you use the seatbelt and oxygen mask.” — CRJ flight attendant
- “Lucky for you I’m the absolute bestest awesomest flight attendant in the history of the world that you’ll have in your life.” — CRJ flight attendant
- “Are you over 15?” — CRJ flight attendant
- “We’re a militant bunch.” — JFK flight safety expert
- “Wait a second, you were here yesterday.”

“Wait a second, you were here yesterday.”
lol, classic.
Was that one FA the “absolute bestest awesomest flight attendant in the history of the world that you’[ve had] in your life.”?
Your A320 Captain sounds like the same one I had flying TPA-IAD on Saturday morning.
@ Mike — I’m surprised I don’t hear that more often, hah.
@ JAFF — I’m sure you know the answer to that.
@ MatthewLAX — That would make sense, since the 9AM TPA-IAD crew is usually the same as the noon IAD-TPA crew.
lol the “are you over 15″ comment is totally understandable
The last one is clearly the best. Well done sir, I salute you.
