'Big-Bird' Meets Pilot

I'm guessing most airline pilots these days would rather answer dumb "Big Bird" style questions more than "excuse me, which way to gate B37?"
 
Well, gas used to be much more inexpensive and a flight to Hawaii was priced as a once in a lifetime treat, rather than written into the Bill of Rights! :)
 
In Video 3

Oscar: "Hey not so tight along the front porch"
Girl: "Well you wanna be safe don't you..."
Oscar: "Not particularly...."
:D
 
How many of you airline pilot guys really kick the tires on a regular basis....?

I'm praying Denzel Washington doesn't "kick the tires" in the new movie FLIGHT. Because this Big Bird meets pilot video really made me ponder on the public's perception of commercial pilots.
 
Thanks for sharing that, I loved it! I hope snuffy has a SIDA running around the ramp like some kid of terrorizor.

Side note, United didn't really fly 727-100s to Hawaii. I think the smallest "modern" jet they used back then to Hawaii were the DC-8s. The public expected wide bodies and most flights on any airline were either DC-10s, L-1011s, or 747s. Of course now, United uses 737s.
 
In my best Prof. Frink voice: Eh, that was a 727-200 as noted by the 2 small overwing exits. Glavin!

Cool. Too bad the 727-100 has 2 small overwing exits too.

100/200 comparison.

I don't get why people always argue with me about that whenever it comes up. The -100 is a chode compared to the -200 but people always look at the doors instead of the airplane itself. If you're going to look at the doors, look at the fact the -100 has an actual service door just ahead of the overwing exits, or the lack of a door just ahead of the engines. Wonder where that emergency exit rumor started.

Sorry, just one of my pet peeves when people accuse me of wrongly identifying an airplane. Never underestimate what a nerd I am. :)
