First leg after the Jet Blue captain went bonkers and the FO had to lock him out:

(obnoxious dick brain) Passenger: "HEY YOU GUYS FEELING OK TODAY!!??"

Me: "Uh yeah. Doing fine Sir how are you."

Passenger: "YOU KNOW, THERE ISN'T A DOOR HERE SO YOU CAN'T LOCK THE OTHER GUY OUT. SO IM JUST MAKING SURE.

Me: "Um, ok Sir. Can I get you anything?

Passenger: "NO NO, JUST GET ME TO NEW YORK IN ONE PIECE"

Me: "Yes sir, no problem. I always like being in one piece myself."

Last week.

By Wednesday, it will be back to "I want to fly as cheaply as possible, I don't care if there is a flight deck full of ferrets, as long as they mash the 'Fly to Orlando' button judiciously"

Like a large newspaper in central Europe stated in a three-page-article in their Sunday-Edition: "Often, passengers think that the plane is shaking after takeoff, because the pilots are working hard on the controls. But they are already enjoying the first course of their multi-course dinner and casually enter the altitude with their greasy fingers"

No evidence of this was noted on this past 4-day folly.

Indeed, one of my pointy-end coworkers repeated the oft-used "everything is awesome, and people who are depressed are weak/whatever" bit on our ride to the airport. Rest assured that this notion was disabused as briskly as was possible.

Yes. It's very clear that the author did a huge amount of ZERO research before writing the article! :)

That's ... grotesque.

The 27-year-old co-pilot Andreas Lubitz believed to have deliberately crashed Germanwings Flight 4U 9525 plane, killing 149 passengers, trawled gay porn websites and sites relating to suicide, investigators have revealed.

He also feared losing his eyesight and was suffering from depression.

A police source in Dusseldorf revealed: "We have a team disassembling his computer, and that of his girlfriend, because the information that we received was that he trawled the dark side of the web visiting, among other things, sites containing gay porn, suicide themes and sexual perversions."

The reports emerged after police started examining documents and a computer from his flat in Dusseldorf – the same one where ripped-up sick notes were discovered in the rubbish.

"At a press conference, Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin said: "We have asked for information from the German investigation on both his profession and personal background'.

He added: "He [Lubitz] did this for a reason which we don't know why, but we can only deduct that he destroyed this plane."

Troubled personal life

The pilot was the target of gossip about his sexuality after briefly working as a flight attendant.

Lubitz was given the nickname "Tomato Andy": a German term for repressed homosexuals.

The anti-gay slur is based on the fact that while a tomato is thought to be a vegetable, it is really a fruit, according to Gay Star News.

Reports have suggested he was troubled by his sexuality and also seeking treatment for vision problems. Lubitz had recent hospital treatment for his eyesight, according to officials close to the German investigation.

It was also revealed that the 27-year-old was treated by four psychiatrists in the months leading up to the fatal plane crash, reported the Sun.

A "small mountain" of drugs believed to be antidepressants were found at Lubitz's apartment.

Antidepressants are used to treat range of conditions, including anxiety and panic disorders, obsessive-compulsive behaviour, phobias, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), chronic pain, as well as moderate and severe depression."


The old saying of viewing too much porn will make you lose your eyesight must be true!

That would at least be some sort of excuse. No, the whole article is based on an interview with a former (retired) chief flight instructor at a major European Airline... ;)

Disturbing on multiple counts. First, it's abhorrent for that private information to be distributed publicly, while I'm sure his family is still mourning- murderer or not.

Secondly, it's a shame to hear of personal abuse of his sexuality in the workplace. Unacceptable.
