Be careful telling jokes on the job

[Mavmb1]

One of my passengers said she told a pilot "Im going to nap as soon as we take off." She said the pilot then responded "Me too."

I cant recommend telling jokes like this on the job. It isnt professional and it could be interpreted literally. Then there is a passenger complaint, an email from the chief pilot and a black mark in the HR file. I dont recommend.

Definitely a good idea to develop a work filter for those who are quick with absurd comebacks or risque witty remarks.

Yeah that joke didn’t land.

Honestly, with how little most most passengers pay attention, it may have just flown over her head.

Flip side - do you want to be flying the type of people that would report that joke?

Seems like their joke was stuck in a holding pattern.

Does their credit card work? Yes? Then yes. I want as many people from all walks of life to be in the back of the airplane as possible.

Fair. I have the privilege of being able to turn down clients in my line of work.

Wouldn’t trust people like that. For the same reason why scientists don’t trust atoms……Becuase they make stuff up.

Same here, let them think whatever as long as they’re filling seats, aside from violent crazy ones.

As the years go by I find myself trying to interact as little as possible so I can just do my job and go home. Not that I’m afraid to say something wrong, but it’s just the same hand full of questions do really get old after a decade or so.

It’s too bad; that kind of humor would have lifted me up.

Some of these jokes are real sleepers.

I was anticipating the punchline would’ve mentioned lap nap. Fraternizing with the customers is always a risk.

Fixed it for you.

So what you're saying is cargo pilots are funny without fear? That's not acceptable, you all better get your stuff together, clean up and fly right. Or something bad will happen and a lot of people are going to die. Or that's all nonsense. It's up to you to decide.

IF we aren't going to ban him because every 100 posts he makes some halfway coherent maintenance related post about one time he wrenched on a gulfstream, maybe @derg could put in a "prohibited from posting after the sun goes down" restriction?

That's so not even close to what I said.

Would you like to tell us all about your big beautiful ballroom?
