Air Canada flight from Vancouver (YVR) to Toronto (YYZ)
A Canadian airline pilot wrote in his journal that on one particular flight due to strong crosswinds, he had unfortunately hammered his ship onto the runway with a very hard greeting. The airline had a policy which required the first officer on the flight to stand at the exit door while the passengers disembarked, smile and repeat “thanks for ?flying with us”. His comments indicated that, in light of the poor landing, he avoided eye contact with the passengers in an attempt to avoid any smart comments that might result. Finally there was only one little old lady left to exit the plane. Walking slowly up the aisle with a cane, she approached the awaiting first officer and said:
Little Old Lady: Sir, do you mind if I ask ?you a question?
First Officer: Why, no, Ma’am, what is it?
Little Old Lady: Did we land, or were we shot down?

Flight Attendant after a hard landing: That was quite a bump, and I know what you’re all thinking… I’m here to tell you it wasn’t the airline’s fault, it wasn’t the pilot’s fault, it wasn’t the flight attendant’s fault…it was the asphalt!

Announcement from the flight deck while taxiing for our departure
Pilot: Ladies and gentlemen seated on the left, this is what happens when you don’t pay full price for your flight. You have to pull your plane away from the gate.
The annual jet-pull charity fundraiser was underway in front of the hangar with teams of employees pulling the US Airways A319 with the Arizona Cardinals livery.  The Cardinals mascot was there with them.

This plane is flying to Newark, NJ. If your destination is not Newark, please make your way to the back of the plane, where we can make alternate travel arrangements via the laundry chute.
