DTW baggage check crash

If someone in aviation doesn’t like or hasn’t seen “Airplane!”, they are not to be trusted.

I weep when I meet an FO, drop a line from the movie, and get blank stares more vacant than my orange cat trying to do calculus back in return. We're doomed.

I was waiting to non rev over to Kona last night and some guy was walking up to passengers with some kind of pamphlet and trying to talk to them. Not sure what it was actually for (I told him to f off when he walked up to me and my wife) but it looked like the scene inside the Check in area in Airplane!.... minus the MMA stuff.

I used to drop Back to the Future lines at door close...

"Let's make like a tree and get outta here!"

I gave up. Mostly blank stares. Occasionally an awkward chuckle.

I should add some Back to the Future stuff. On Day 1, Leg 1 I will drop various Airplane!, Star Wars (ep 4-6), Futurama, and Mel Brooks references. If the FO doesn't get any of them we cannot be friends and I will spend the rest of the trip quietly judging their lack of proper edification.

It is funny when I quote a line from a movie and get a laugh because of its random nature or funny timing, only to realize they don’t know the reference.

Among my favorites:

“Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?”

“My girlfriend sucked 37 dicks.”

“I can't fire them. I hired these guys for three days a week, and they just started showing up every day.

“ I will now sell five copies of "The Three EPs" by The Beta Band.”

“ If you really wanted to screw me up, you should've gotten to me earlier.”

“The thing is, Bob, it's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care.”

“We need to talk about your TPS reports.”

“You heard me, Coltrane.”

“Do all the interns get Glocks?”

“I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career.”

My favorite that leaves folks confused and I don’t care to explain:

“Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go on an overnight drunk, and in 10 days I'm going to set out to find the shark that ate my friend and destroy it.”
