@@itsmeprasad1987 Only a woke insane simpleton would desire flight crew members based on their sex rather than ability. And certainly I wouldn't even want a flight attendant who openly embraces putting evil woke politics ahead of passenger safety. Especially a flight attendant who goes so far as to mock passengers who prefer safety over identity. So no thank you!
She certainly has that parroting woke sexist non-sense that simpleminded people enjoy down pat like pilots should be hired based on sex rather than ability.
I was double booked (same seat number) as another passenger on Virgin JNB-LHR. I was seated first, and she complained, LOUDLY. The flight attendant asked if she really insisted on that seat, she demanded yes, so the FA upgraded me to Upper Class.
That's definitely the best move, but it still sucks that the racists actions were still rewarded. Even though he didn't get an upgrade, he disrupted the other passengers flight and got an empty seat next to him as a result. I hope they banned him afterwards
I have the deepest respect for flight attendants in modern times. The amount of difficult people they have to deal with, I could not do that. She is so calm and warm, a perfect personality for that difficult job. ❤
Such a classy, well-spoken, and gracious professional lady, who’s obviously hardworking and certainly seems caring (not to mention she’s likely got the patience of Job as a member of flight crew)! A joy to behold.
30 yr FA for AA. I was the Purser (Inflight manager) on an overnight flight to LHR. Got a call that 2 passengers had snuck into the back restroom. We listened at the door & quickly knew what they were engaged in. We grabbed a piece of paper & made a “Welcome to the mile high club” certificate & about six of the crew all gathered around the lavatory door waiting patiently. The door unlocked and the young lady stepped out. The crew whooped and cheered stating loudly “Welcome to Mile the Club”! Loud enough the entire back of Economy class all turned to see what was going on. The cheering continued until the male came out & the both of them slinking back to their seats in very bright shades of red. We must always be in constant supervision of the cabin & lavs so the chance of not getting caught will be slim to none.

@@kelly6677 nah bestie I don’t like planes lmao. Last time I flew I was 14. It was a very shaky miserable 5 hours and I was stuck between 2…quite large gentlemen to be polite…and I vowed never again. I had no space, I was getting bounced between them, the air masks dropped down at one point. I was NOT having fun. 😂😂
I worked for Virgin Atlantic as an engineer for 31 years at Gatwick airport, during that time I was on shift three times when somebody had died during the flights. As ground engineers we would keep a discrete distance to let the crew and emergency services go through the necessary removal of the deceased. But of the three, there's one occasion that stands out. The aircraft arrived and the passengers were disembarking, when there was only a few left on board there was a sudden rush of the crew for an "emergency" in the rear cabin. Apparently someone had died during the flight, his family said it wasn't unexpected, he had been terminally ill, he'd made it through his family holiday and almost home again. But about a couple of hours out from Gatwick he sadly passed away, his family decided not to call the crew, or alarm and distress the other passengers. So they proped him up in his seat and made it look like he was asleep. When the cabin was almost empty they told the crew, which is when pandemonium broke out as they rushed to get the medical gear to try and revive him, his family stopped them and explained before they went into action. I thought it was so thoughtful of the family not to cause distress to the other passengers. Of course once the crew knew exactly what had happened the deceased and his family were, as normal in this situation treated with the utmost respect, care and discretion.
they probably died when they found out they are going to gatwick lol, but in all seriousness, i hope their families are alright. It is unfortuante. RIP
On my last flight all of the crew onboard were female. They got a standing ovation before takeoff and after landing. Everyone was so happy to see 2 females flying the plane and backed by an all female cabin crew.
I know the intention was good, but isn't that kind of demeaning? Like imagine if the crew was all black or something else and people did that. It's weird at best. Women are still just people
cabin crew are so underrated both in nominal flight and in an emergency. i really appreciate them. listen to the safety presentation - the cabin crew are there to make sure you have your absolute best shot at surviving if things go wrong, and more often than not, you WILL survive.
As a muslim who has prayed on a plane several times. I always did it while sitting on my seat to not disturb anyone and be respectfull. In special cases you can pray while sitting down. I never understand people that lay out something on the floor in an airplane. I think most of those people are just showing off and that is not commendable at all.
I think that being inconsiderate to others is a not limited to specific religions :) However, if they aren't blocking passage for people then I'd have no problem with it.
as a cabin crew myself im so happy she’s explaining all of these things, can stop people being so difficult when its time to secure when they know why we ask them to do certain things
Much love to her for keeping it classy and being very emphatic, plus educating us. Furthermore, much love to all the cabin crew up there taking care of us while traveling ❤

She seems so patient and poised, which inevitably I'm sure reflects in her professionalism. Sometimes we tend to forget and appreciate jobs like these and how challenging it can be on them despite how classy and glamourous it may seem from the outside. Loved the way she explained stuff, she seems like a great and intelligent human who loves and excels in her career!
Really do people think it seems glamorous it doesn’t seem glamorous to me stuck in a metal box for hours on end with your ears blocked breathing that horrible filtered air and there is nearly always someone on the plane with the worse BO. Whenever I’ve been on a plane I’ve always thought I don’t know how they do it I couldn’t keep up that happy welcoming persona while on a plane for 8 hours.
@@GuitarJammerJohn i agree, it’s not fun at all, especially if you despise jet lag. but some people do find this profession classy and glamorous when it’s really not, like you described. like the saying goes, the grass is always greener on the other side.
The crash she is referring to is that of Birgenair Flight 301 which occurred on the 7th of February 1996 and was the joint-deadliest aviation incident involving a Boeing 757 (along with American Airlines Flight 77) having a total of 189 fatalities. Furthermore, Flight 301 is the deadliest aviation accident ever to have occurred in the Dominican Republic. It was caused by erroneous airspeed readings. There was evidence that some of the recovered bodies had been 'mangled' by sharks and life rafts were found floating in the area. But obviously no one knows how many of them had survived and were subsequently eaten or attacked by the sharks. "All 189 people on board a Boeing 757 charter plane - most of them German tourists heading home from two weeks of tropical sunshine - were killed yesterday when their aircraft crashed into the Caribbean minutes after taking off from Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic." "US Coast Guard vessels joined the rescue effort before dawn yesterday. Officers said they and the Dominican navy had picked up 40 bodies by afternoon, some of them injured by sharks. Dominican officials said there was little hope that anyone survived. The Coast Guard said schools of circling sharks made it too dangerous to use divers. The aircraft apparently sank quickly but reports of empty life rafts floating among the debris suggested some passengers may have escaped from the wreckage, only to be blown towards the sharks by stormy winds and eight foot waves."
I was asked to sit next to a Bangladeshi because no one else wanted to. I sat next to him from Philippines to Canada. He was a great education to me, Very well clued up with great ideas. The time "flew"
I have the greatest respect for Flight Attendants. Its often a difficult and unpleasant job, performed in trying circumstances. 99.9% of FA's I have encountered have been lovely, and they have to be lovely even when they are exhausted or unwell. Thank you to the FA's!
4:57 - Makes perfect sense. 1 thing that has always annoyed me is when travelling by bus locally early morning or late when it's dark outside and everything is lit up by lights inside. Makes one appreciate dimmed lights when you just want to sit down and relax in your seat.
She has such a nice, warm and caring attitude, while being very professional and diplomatic even about the worse parts of her job. Very impressive person with so many interesting stories! I could have listened to her answering questions and telling us about the job for hours! I hope she continues to have a great career and wish her only the most pleasant passengers and flights. :)
My dad tested those life rafts in The English Channel in 1948. They were developed at HMS Cardington during and after WWII. He volunteered for the job after seeing them in a pretrial. He told me he volunteered because after 8 years serving in the Royal Australian Navy, he knew that these were as close to the perfect piece of survival equipment that he had ever seen. It's not just the raft but the survival equipment on board, (an inflatable solar still for distilling fresh water, fishing lines and hooks etc). He was the CPO Safety Officer HMAS Sydney during the Korean War. They have improved the design over time, with the introduction of new materials in the manufacture, but the concept has changed very little in 80 years. He told me that his six days in the autumn of 1948 was the best paid holiday he ever had, despite the horrible weather and being stuck on a raft with two Poms.
I've flown with Virgin many times (I prefer them) and I just regret that this lovely lady was never one of the crew. As for female pilots, when I got my Private Pilot's Licence the examiner who did my General Flying Test was a lass who on her seventeenth birthday passed her driving test AND flew her first solo! On the ground she was all laughing and joking, but as soon as we boarded the aircraft she switched to all-business and was the most professional pilot I've ever met - her attitude got me to realise instantly the seriousness of what we were doing, and the level of responsibility you have as a pilot. She later went on to fly 747s for British Airways, I would want her flying me over any other pilot, any day. It's just a shame that if she was a pilot of an airliner in which I was a passenger, I couldn't visit her office.
Only one thing I know not true for many airlines (according to VPs who make the rules not just not cabin crew like this lady): upgrades will go to commercial passengers first not standby staff - especially if they have rewards members, they want frequent flyers to a) have a really good experience and spread the word that the rewards schemes are worth it and b) let frequent flyers experience the higher cabins so they get a taste for it and might book it next time. Emirates always upgrades skywards members when they can. Dressing smart and being nice (not demanding) is a must though.
From personal experience, it's actually the pilots who decide who gets what seat! At least with the airlines I've travelled on. It's the Captain's decision at the end of the day - he decides who gets what upgrade/seat depending on who's listed to fly. Companies obviously want to publicise the fact that they prioritise their frequent fliers (to incentivise people to buy), but staff travel actually comes first most of the time. Emirates might be different, but the UK airlines I'm familiar with prioritise staff travel (especially if the passenger is travelling with a crew member).
What a pleasant lady to listen to. She really draws you in and makes you pay attention to everything she says. I bet she's a wonderful flight attendant!
I’ve flown my whole life and did not know why the chairs had to be upright lol not anything else like the tables . This gracious lady was so informative, and sweet . I do know cabin crew are very tough and very trained as she said 😍
I was boarding a flight to Spain and the captain was at the aircraft door greeting us passengers. When my ex realised the pilot was a woman he tried to convince me to leave the flight. He actually visibly paled when he cottoned on. He was an uptight nightmare the WHOLE flight which further peed me off as I’m a nervous flyer. I dumped him but had to stay in the booked apartment with him for the whole week 🤦🏻♀️. And some men wonder why we still feel a bit picked on and singled out.
@@sgtjonzo probs all of it to be honest. If someone came to you and said this, would you believe it? Lol Firstly, if anyone refused to fly because it was a female pilot then they would be wasting money... doubt anyone would do that.
I heard that "altitude changes tastebuds" explanation so often... But A), I've been to altitudes of close to 6000m, and stuff still tasted fine, and B) I brought plenty of my own food on planes and even a cheap ass sandwich is normally tastier than the crap which is in those trays...
There's definitely something to that though, because there's scientific truth to tomato juice tasting better in planes, it's insane! I always prefer it on a flight over on land. 😅
I thought the same - if you bring nuts, fruits etc they taste the same as on the ground, you've eaten them many times, you'd notice if it was different.
It's not just the pressure, but the extremely low humidity on board. Modern planes like the 787 and a350 have higher humidity but the majority or planes have humidity below 10% (where I live on the ground humidity is usually 70-80%)
This woman has such a lovely, warm manner. She is extremely tactful and professional. Plus I love her voice and accent 😊. Very interesting video thank you.
This is so interesting! I’ve always been hugely fascinated by how airplanes operate and this gave me some new insights that I haven’t heard before. I know a lot of people have a fear of flying, but I always look forward to it and love the whole airport and flight experience. Maybe that’s because I don’t travel often for it to become tedious!
13:20 airplane mode. She's right on most things, but wrong on this one. The ILS beacon is in a different frequency range. There are international laws and agreements on what frequency bands are used by telecom and other users, specifically to prevent what she's claiming. It does, however, quickly drain your battery because your phone keeps trying to connect to cell towers that aren't there. If something so dramatic as losing an ILS signal could happen, phones would be permanently banned on board.
It's to avoid the fairly small risk of interference with any of the airplanes electronics. If they did not insist on flight mode the airplane electronics would have to be designed, tested and regularly re-certified compatible with full strength mobile/cellular phone signals. Some commercial planes flying today were built before cell phones even existed.
@murdo_mck yes, but it depends on what frequencies they operate. The bands don't overlap, and that's by design. The age of the aircraft doesn't change the regulated frequency bands.
@@murdo_mck If there was any real risk they wouldn't just trust people to put their devices in airplane mode. If terrorists could bring down planes with a phone or a similar device, they would never be allowed in. Regulated devices really send very weak amounts of energy, won't do shit to any cable that is at least somewhat protected (even on the level of the average $2 usb cable). Even devices that don't respect norms and try to send as much energy out as they can are very likely going to hurt you and people next to you first before actually doing damage to the aircraft. The real reason is they don't want passengers to be distracted by their devices during critical phases of the flight
5G can have a negative effect on some aircraft auto land capabilities, but I'm not an expert on if there is anything beyond that technically. Mostly tho, I think they just don't want people yaking on phones while in the air and/or want passengers to NOT be distracted during critical phases of flight.
The statistics say over 80% of people survive aviation accidents but that statistic does not specify accidents into categories like only including those that were a total hull loss vs things like a bird strike, uncontained fan failures, fuel exhausted, etc. where there was repairable damage and maybe some nail biting moments but still finished with a runway landing. Even a total hull loss has had large numbers of survivors such as US Airways ditching in the Hudson river in NY where everyone survived with only a few minor injuries even though the aircraft was a write-off.
That's a stupid comparison. 50-60 years ago, ticket prices are the same as first class today. 90% of passengers today won't be able to afford to fly at all.
@@robertcristianoros1293 hi, flight attendant here as well, you can get some medicine for nausea, it makes people drowsy after 30 minutes so if you take it before boarding, get seated, and keep your seatbelt visible so we don't have to wake you up, you'll have a nice long sleep fairly easily :) Avoid driving afterwards if your flight is short as the effects last several hours!
In the US, we don’t require window shades open at any time. We do require tray tables closed, laptops out away, and seats fully forward… but arm rests are fine left in the up position
It's likely that another person has mentioned this, but I have been told by a cousin of mine - a retired commercial pilot, and a couple flight attendants, that while passengers can give flight attendants trouble - they told me there is sometimes conflicts between flight attendants simmering just below the surface. As for me - I think most flight attendants are great!
As a former funeral director the thing about "rigor mortis" setting in and then the person couldn't fit in their coffin is 100000% wrong. Rigor is broken easily by moving the limbs and, once broken, does not come back. It also breaks down naturally if not forced.
for obese customers, I heard you can buy two seats as is expected, but sometimes you can apply to the airline after the flight and if they were not full on that flight, some airlines will reimburse you.
One thing she said that is wrong, statistically if you look at historical data on crashes, the further back in the plane you sit the more likely you are to survive in a crash. The seats over the wings are less effected by turbulence, but sitting closest to the huge wings full of fuel isn't ideal for survivability during a crash.
it really depends on the type of crash you have, which part of the plane impacts first, etc. sometimes the front is thrown clear of a fire. if you look up united flight 232, you notice the captains in the very front survived, a lot of people seated around the middle survived unscathed, and the front and rear was mostly fatalities - all the survivors from the front and rear were severely injured. it really depends on the accident.
As an aviation geek I am impressed that I knew the answers to most of these questions - thanks to another UA-camr I follow, he's a pilot & his wife was cabin crew ...🤣😂🤣
I’ve been a pilot since 1994. Mobile phones do NOT affect anything. The old phones in the 90’s actually did, but not on phones made after 1996. It’s stupid. When I’m flying my own plane, I never turn the phone to airplane mode. Talk to pilots - 90%+ will tell you the same thing, but get the government involved, laws are almost never changed once they’re past
Having lots of mobile phones traveling overhead in the sky can be disruptive for mobile networks, especially since phones that get poor reception will increase their transmit power in an attempt to make a connection (which also means that not putting your phone in airplane mode will drain the battery like crazy)
@@MatthijsvanDuin- actually, this is a myth that like most myths started out with a grain of truth. It’s like this. Back in the day (90’s - there weren’t enough cell phones in the 80’s to matter) when cell phone companies used to charge big bucks for “roaming” (which didn’t actually cost them any more money than any other phone call), cell phone companies freaked out. Because the analog signals would bounce off several towers at once, often switching from one to the next before rapidly shifting back to the first tower and then immediately towards a third tower, the companies became concerned about lost revenue. They couldn’t bill you for roaming charges if they couldn’t for sure determine exactly where you were during a call. And it’s been shown repeatedly that the phone company lobbyists were the ones who pushed the aviation ban, not the airlines, not the pilot’s unions, nobody in the aviation community at all. And in the US anyway, the FAA guidance on wording for the “no cell phone usage” announcement strongly suggests that the announcement includes the phrase “cell phone usage COULD interfere with navigation equipment (emphasis added - notice it doesn’t say “DOES”). NOWHERE in said recommendation or wording does it say ANYTHING about disruption of cellular communications on earth. You can trust me when I say, at least 80% of people do not turn their phones and iPads onto airplane mode. Passengers can’t really get reliable cell phone data at 36,000 feet so they’re going to be using WiFi, but they don’t turn their devices on airplane mode. You’ll know this to be true if you fly a lot and notice when the aircraft is descending for landing and gets about 3,000 feet above ground level that you’ll often hear numerous phones start ringing
About the radio signals. The ILS frequency ranges from 108 to 112 MHz. There is nothing in the cellphone with that capability. 2.4 GHz or 5GHz for wireless, 800 MHz, 1200, etc for mobile network. Nothing on 108 to 112.
It doesn't happen that often... maybe 1 out of 30 flights.. and here I am, a former airline employee who always thought that kind of stuff doesn't happen anymore since 9/11.
i think she meant 1/20 flights she personally flies, and cabin crew flying long hauls fly around 4 or 5 rotations a month, so it would be once every few months :) and i fly short/medium hauls and it doesn't happen as the lavatories are in our galleys anyway. So once every few months only on big aircrafts that fly long haul. It's not that often! (unless you combine all flights in the world then it must be a hundred times a day or more probably lol)
Lovely lady. She's so elegant in her mannerisms and speech. It reminds me of how Princess Diana sounded like. Loved this segment, very interesting. I knew some things because I worked in Customer service for an airline for a few years but some were surprising like the one about the passenger passing away in flight. I got a little but scared when she spoke if the plane "ditching" at sea and after she said the survivors got eaten by shsrks....kinda rethink my next vacation 😅 maybe I'll drive this time
20:07 It's funny when you look at the safety factor mechanically in things. Farming equipment has a safetyfactor usually of around 10-20, sometimes higher. That means that the weakest part can withstand at least 10 times the maximum expected force. Cables on an elevator have 20 I believe, cranes have their own safety factor, and over that another factor of 2 gets applied for the cable. Airplanes have a safetyfactor of 1.05. Ofcourse it is heavily regulated, the maximum forced are very well mapped out, but the number is so small.
The window blinds have to be open so that there’s an unobstructed view outside during critical phases of flight and all ground ops. If an evacuation were to be required and some window shades are down, it could be difficult to assess where fire or smoke may be present.
P fellow VS crew here. Another reason why we ask you to put your window blinds up is because you are the eyes and ears for us on take off and landing. We want you to look out of the window to make sure there’s no fire or falling debris going on
The bland food is not because of taste buds underperforming, it's actually the olfactory cells in the nose underperforming. We mostly smell food, not taste it.
I knew a pilot who offered a service, he took people up in his private plane. He would speak to each side of the encounter and made sure everyone was legally an adult, and they knew what the flight was for. He said, "I'm noy going up te get someone SAed. Twice he returned to the ground after someone changed their mind but no one ever pressed the issue. The pilot said he ways of discouraging SA's. Remember, an airplane pilot can control gravity Turning it up or down, even reversing it if he wants.
19:02 100% correct on not enough female pilots, however it IS improving. Roughly 5% of ATPL pilots (the ones flying you around places) are female, however we now have 15% of all student pilots being female which is a huge improvement. I attend flight school currently and our male to female ratio is pretty good if I'm honest. Probably 1 woman for every 4 men. Interestingly, India has 3 times as many female pilots on a professional level than most other countries. Even less common is female aircraft mechanics. Less than 3% are female... so if you want to break barriers, that's a great place so start.
I can't find any information on any airlines incidents involving ditching that resulted in anyone being eaten by sharks. The closest I've come is ALM Flight 980 which crashed in shark-infested waters, but no source claims that any of the 23 fatalities were shark-related. I would be interested if anyone else could provide information, because that sounds wild to me. Further, the airplane mode claim has been debunked so many times it's almost getting boring. I'm sure she's told so many passengers by now that she truly believes it. I suppose it's not harming anybody.
The crash she is referring to is that of Birgenair Flight 301 which occurred on the 7th of February 1996 and was the joint-deadliest aviation incident involving a Boeing 757 (along with American Airlines Flight 77) having a total of 189 fatalities.

@@NotInAsia thanks for the info, that's interesting and is quite possibly what the lady is referring to. I only say *possibly* because the incident you mention was not a controlled emergency landing on water (aka a water ditching) but an uncontrolled crash due to malfunction with the plane. Also, there was evidence of shark predation on some bodies but not surviving passengers being attacked by sharks as is claimed. It seems that this flight attendant is possibly confusing/conflating various incidents so it's difficult to know for sure.
@@systemofapown yes but that's called 'Chinese whispers', stories inevitably become embellished as they're passed on. On Wikipedia it says everyone died on impact. So I think that's the official hypothesis. But the media reported them being eaten. I guess it's more news-worthy. So that probably just existed in her memory.
Patience of a saint. I couldn't do it. So many passengers don't listen to instructions these days. That's what'll get them killed in an emergency. Does my head in when somebody's messaging during take off or landing. Can't they put their devices away for a short while? If you messaging the people you're going to meet, you will see them soon. If you're messaging the people you left behind, stay at home.
I feel like the answer to the question on why the seats, window blinds, and tray table need to be up during take-off and landing needs more detail and I will attempt to provide it. The riskiest parts of a flight is the take-off and landing, it's where the pilots have the least amount of time to react to any emergency situation. Should an emergency occur at this time, the airplane will have to either crash or crash-land very quicly which then means you'll have to get out of the airplane very quickly. Having your tray tables down will impede you from getting out quickly in a crash, the seat infront of you could also deform from the crash preventing you from putting it back up too causing you to have to wrestle with it in the fire and smoke to get out. Similarly if your seat is reclined, in a crash it's going to impede the person behind you from getting out quickly - so that's why when the airplane is close to the ground, you're required to put the tray tables and seats in a position which allows quick exit. As for the window blinds, it's about giving your eyes the time to adust to the outside lighting so that in the event of a crash, you exit the airplane quicly and your eyes are already adjusted to the outside light so you can find your way away from the crashed airplane fast.
I would also like to elaborate more on the airplane mode bit because some people have asked how is it that a $500 phone can interrupt a $100,000,000 airplane. Mobile phones are always searching for cell signals 24/7 where your phone sends out a ping to the cell tower every few seconds just to inform the cell tower that your phone's connected to it and waits for a ping back from the cell tower to confirm. On the ground when your mobile phone senses that the cell signal is weak from the cell tower's reply, it will automatically boost its own transmission signal to make sure the signal it sends out can get to the cell tower - this is why your battery also drains faster if you have a weak cell signal. If you don't put your phone into airplane mode when you're in an airplane, as the airplane takes off the phone will sense that the cell signal is weakening and will keep sending out stronger and stronger pings to try and reach a cell tower until a point where the phone is just sending pings at maximum transmission power. One phone doing this alone isn't likely to cause issues with the airplane unless the airplane itself was struggling to pick up a very faint signal from the ground or from satellites. However if all the passengers in the airplane had their phones not in airplane mode, you're talking about 100 or more phones all blasting pings at max transmission power trying to reach a cell tower and the resulting massive bursts of transmissions can interrupt the airplane's own trasmitters and receivers trying to reach something far away on the ground.
@@pjninja9546 Having zero, one or million phones makes absolutely no difference since mobile phones work in frequency bands that have absolutely nothing with any of the frequency band that any of the plane or ground equipment is using. So stop spreading this idiotic BS.
@@perakojot6524 While commercial airline equipment doesn't generally operate on the same frequencies as mobile phones, Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) can still occur due to the complex nature of electromagnetic signals and the potential for harmonics and spurious emissions from electronic devices. Here are some ways RFI can occur even when the frequencies are different: - Harmonics: Electronic devices can emit harmonic frequencies that are multiples of their operating frequency. If a mobile phone emits harmonics that fall within the frequency range of aircraft systems, it can cause interference. - Spurious Emissions: These are unintended emissions at frequencies other than the primary operating frequency of a device. They can occur due to imperfections in electronic components or circuit design. If these emissions fall within the frequency range of aircraft systems, they can cause interference. - Conducted Interference: Even if the emitted frequency is not in the range of aircraft systems, it can still cause interference through conducted pathways, such as through power lines or other conductive paths in the aircraft. To mitigate these risks,the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) have strict regulations to minimize the potential for interference.
My wife, who is much more seasoned than me when it comes to air travel, has a conspiracy theory regarding the brace position. Somebody once told her that people are told to adopt the brace position as your neck will snap quicker if the plane crashes. What creeps me out about that is that somebody said that to her as a child. She used to fly a lot as an ‘un accompanied minor’ with her dad working all over the world on civil engineering projects.
I was a on a flight where a guy in the front needed CPR after defib did not work. They called for docs and nurses and at least 5 people went up and some eventually returned to their seats. Two took turns doing CPR. We were diverted to land quickly and they got the guy off and said he was receiving "proper medical care" and thanked the flight crew and those that helped. The pilot can say all he wants, but when you do CPR for a long time it means the guys is dead or will be soon.
@13:28 this makes no sense... if you have your phone in airplane mode. All the signals coming off the cell tower and still going straight through the plane and straight through your phone. Your phone just isn't listening the signals now. This would be like me telling you to close your eyes, that way you can walk out a 5 story window, since you don't see the ground, you will just float on the air.
I was once on a virgin atlantic flight back from Vegas. Sat right at the back in the last 3 seater window row. Behind me was a guy and girl in the only row of 2 seats who didn't know each other. He told her he was a film producer and she wasn't smart enough to question why someone of that importance was in economy on long haul and they got chatting and took full advantage of the free booze on Virgin Atlantic (back then anyway, it was around 2015). One thing led to another and he ended up getting a blowie from her about an hour before landing before the lights came back on. After he had got his end away he must have got bored because she asked "is that it then" and it went silent. When the plane landed he made up some ridiculous excuse about his sunglasses being stuck down the side of the chair so he didn't have to walk down the aisle with her and then when I got into arrivals she was met by her family. Fair play to him. i didn't think he was going to close the deal with how long he was dragging it out chatting and drinking.

She is Lovely 🌹
I was double booked (same seat number) as another passenger on Virgin JNB-LHR. I was seated first, and she complained, LOUDLY. The flight attendant asked if she really insisted on that seat, she demanded yes, so the FA upgraded me to Upper Class.
Hah! Nice!
Nice!!!!! ❤
Loved that she upgraded the gentleman who was subject to the racism!
Yeah, because that won't make the racist guy worse...
@@ebridgewaterand upgrading him (whilst essentially reinforcing) his disgraceful behaviour wouldn’t?
Brilliant response
That's definitely the best move, but it still sucks that the racists actions were still rewarded. Even though he didn't get an upgrade, he disrupted the other passengers flight and got an empty seat next to him as a result. I hope they banned him afterwards
That was pure genius 👌👌😂
I have the deepest respect for flight attendants in modern times. The amount of difficult people they have to deal with, I could not do that. She is so calm and warm, a perfect personality for that difficult job. ❤
Such a classy, well-spoken, and gracious professional lady, who’s obviously hardworking and certainly seems caring (not to mention she’s likely got the patience of Job as a member of flight crew)! A joy to behold.
She’s so sweet and precious.
30 yr FA for AA. I was the Purser (Inflight manager) on an overnight flight to LHR. Got a call that 2 passengers had snuck into the back restroom. We listened at the door & quickly knew what they were engaged in. We grabbed a piece of paper & made a “Welcome to the mile high club” certificate & about six of the crew all gathered around the lavatory door waiting patiently. The door unlocked and the young lady stepped out. The crew whooped and cheered stating loudly “Welcome to Mile the Club”! Loud enough the entire back of Economy class all turned to see what was going on. The cheering continued until the male came out & the both of them slinking back to their seats in very bright shades of red. We must always be in constant supervision of the cabin & lavs so the chance of not getting caught will be slim to none.
Do that in 2024 and get sued. 🤦🏾♂️

@@kelly6677 nah bestie I don’t like planes lmao. Last time I flew I was 14. It was a very shaky miserable 5 hours and I was stuck between 2…quite large gentlemen to be polite…and I vowed never again. I had no space, I was getting bounced between them, the air masks dropped down at one point. I was NOT having fun. 😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yep.. worked for me. Seats at the very back. Late flight and few peeps on board. 😂
@@badlandskidthat's just weird and not OK imo. No one wants to see or hear you do it
I worked for Virgin Atlantic as an engineer for 31 years at Gatwick airport, during that time I was on shift three times when somebody had died during the flights. As ground engineers we would keep a discrete distance to let the crew and emergency services go through the necessary removal of the deceased. But of the three, there's one occasion that stands out. The aircraft arrived and the passengers were disembarking, when there was only a few left on board there was a sudden rush of the crew for an "emergency" in the rear cabin. Apparently someone had died during the flight, his family said it wasn't unexpected, he had been terminally ill, he'd made it through his family holiday and almost home again. But about a couple of hours out from Gatwick he sadly passed away, his family decided not to call the crew, or alarm and distress the other passengers. So they proped him up in his seat and made it look like he was asleep. When the cabin was almost empty they told the crew, which is when pandemonium broke out as they rushed to get the medical gear to try and revive him, his family stopped them and explained before they went into action. I thought it was so thoughtful of the family not to cause distress to the other passengers. Of course once the crew knew exactly what had happened the deceased and his family were, as normal in this situation treated with the utmost respect, care and discretion.
they probably died when they found out they are going to gatwick lol, but in all seriousness, i hope their families are alright. It is unfortuante. RIP
Thats a bit of a distasteful comment.
@@emiliarain7269 womp womp
On my last flight all of the crew onboard were female. They got a standing ovation before takeoff and after landing. Everyone was so happy to see 2 females flying the plane and backed by an all female cabin crew.
Where was this California?
@@eicamer7069 In Canada too, on International Women's Day, all female crew, back and front.
I know the intention was good, but isn't that kind of demeaning? Like imagine if the crew was all black or something else and people did that. It's weird at best. Women are still just people
cabin crew are so underrated both in nominal flight and in an emergency. i really appreciate them. listen to the safety presentation - the cabin crew are there to make sure you have your absolute best shot at surviving if things go wrong, and more often than not, you WILL survive.
As a muslim who has prayed on a plane several times. I always did it while sitting on my seat to not disturb anyone and be respectfull. In special cases you can pray while sitting down. I never understand people that lay out something on the floor in an airplane. I think most of those people are just showing off and that is not commendable at all.
Same, that’s what people did on Saudi Airlines.
A Muslim praying on a plane can worry non-Muslim / non-religious people.
yes, islam always teach us to ease others. when traveling in a vehicle, the go-to would be to pray in your seat if there’s no room available.
@@ebridgewater Only if those non-muslin/non-religious people are racist. No normal, accepting person will be bothered by prayer.
I think that being inconsiderate to others is a not limited to specific religions :)
However, if they aren't blocking passage for people then I'd have no problem with it.
She is so incredibly likeable! Love her personality.
as a cabin crew myself im so happy she’s explaining all of these things, can stop people being so difficult when its time to secure when they know why we ask them to do certain things
She is precious. So sweet and respectful. More people needs to be like her.
Much love to her for keeping it classy and being very emphatic, plus educating us. Furthermore, much love to all the cabin crew up there taking care of us while traveling ❤

She seems so patient and poised, which inevitably I'm sure reflects in her professionalism. Sometimes we tend to forget and appreciate jobs like these and how challenging it can be on them despite how classy and glamourous it may seem from the outside. Loved the way she explained stuff, she seems like a great and intelligent human who loves and excels in her career!
Really do people think it seems glamorous it doesn’t seem glamorous to me stuck in a metal box for hours on end with your ears blocked breathing that horrible filtered air and there is nearly always someone on the plane with the worse BO. Whenever I’ve been on a plane I’ve always thought I don’t know how they do it I couldn’t keep up that happy welcoming persona while on a plane for 8 hours.
@@GuitarJammerJohn i agree, it’s not fun at all, especially if you despise jet lag. but some people do find this profession classy and glamorous when it’s really not, like you described. like the saying goes, the grass is always greener on the other side.
The crash she is referring to is that of Birgenair Flight 301 which occurred on the 7th of February 1996 and was the joint-deadliest aviation incident involving a Boeing 757 (along with American Airlines Flight 77) having a total of 189 fatalities. Furthermore, Flight 301 is the deadliest aviation accident ever to have occurred in the Dominican Republic.
It was caused by erroneous airspeed readings.
There was evidence that some of the recovered bodies had been 'mangled' by sharks and life rafts were found floating in the area. But obviously no one knows how many of them had survived and were subsequently eaten or attacked by the sharks.
"All 189 people on board a Boeing 757 charter plane - most of them German tourists heading home from two weeks of tropical sunshine - were killed yesterday when their aircraft crashed into the Caribbean minutes after taking off from Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic."
"US Coast Guard vessels joined the rescue effort before dawn yesterday. Officers said they and the Dominican navy had picked up 40 bodies by afternoon, some of them injured by sharks.
Dominican officials said there was little hope that anyone survived. The Coast Guard said schools of circling sharks made it too dangerous to use divers.
The aircraft apparently sank quickly but reports of empty life rafts floating among the debris suggested some passengers may have escaped from the wreckage, only to be blown towards the sharks by stormy winds and eight foot waves."
So horrific 😔
"Amazing! We survived the ditching and got into a life raft!"
I was asked to sit next to a Bangladeshi because no one else wanted to. I sat next to him from Philippines to Canada. He was a great education to me, Very well clued up with great ideas. The time "flew"
racism disgusts me. I can't believe in 2024 we have not evolved enough.
I have the greatest respect for Flight Attendants. Its often a difficult and unpleasant job, performed in trying circumstances. 99.9% of FA's I have encountered have been lovely, and they have to be lovely even when they are exhausted or unwell. Thank you to the FA's!
4:57 - Makes perfect sense. 1 thing that has always annoyed me is when travelling by bus locally early morning or late when it's dark outside and everything is lit up by lights inside. Makes one appreciate dimmed lights when you just want to sit down and relax in your seat.
I could listen to her explain complicated theories all day 😍
She has such a nice, warm and caring attitude, while being very professional and diplomatic even about the worse parts of her job. Very impressive person with so many interesting stories! I could have listened to her answering questions and telling us about the job for hours! I hope she continues to have a great career and wish her only the most pleasant passengers and flights. :)
Glad to know all those funny rules on airplanes have a very serious and rational reason behind them! So interesting.
My dad tested those life rafts in The English Channel in 1948.
They were developed at HMS Cardington during and after WWII.
He volunteered for the job after seeing them in a pretrial. He told me he volunteered because after 8 years serving in the Royal Australian Navy, he knew that these were as close to the perfect piece of survival equipment that he had ever seen. It's not just the raft but the survival equipment on board, (an inflatable solar still for distilling fresh water, fishing lines and hooks etc).
He was the CPO Safety Officer HMAS Sydney during the Korean War.
They have improved the design over time, with the introduction of new materials in the manufacture, but the concept has changed very little in 80 years.
He told me that his six days in the autumn of 1948 was the best paid holiday he ever had, despite the horrible weather and being stuck on a raft with two Poms.
what a pleasant personality and nice demeanor, she's definitely in the right role
I love how her north eastern accent peeps through now and then.
What a fab interview.
I love this interview format
I absolutely adore Mandy! You could not ask for a better person to look after you. This was an extremely informative video and explained so well! ❤
I've flown with Virgin many times (I prefer them) and I just regret that this lovely lady was never one of the crew.
As for female pilots, when I got my Private Pilot's Licence the examiner who did my General Flying Test was a lass who on her seventeenth birthday passed her driving test AND flew her first solo!
On the ground she was all laughing and joking, but as soon as we boarded the aircraft she switched to all-business and was the most professional pilot I've ever met - her attitude got me to realise instantly the seriousness of what we were doing, and the level of responsibility you have as a pilot. She later went on to fly 747s for British Airways,
I would want her flying me over any other pilot, any day. It's just a shame that if she was a pilot of an airliner in which I was a passenger, I couldn't visit her office.
Only one thing I know not true for many airlines (according to VPs who make the rules not just not cabin crew like this lady): upgrades will go to commercial passengers first not standby staff - especially if they have rewards members, they want frequent flyers to a) have a really good experience and spread the word that the rewards schemes are worth it and b) let frequent flyers experience the higher cabins so they get a taste for it and might book it next time.
Emirates always upgrades skywards members when they can. Dressing smart and being nice (not demanding) is a must though.
From personal experience, it's actually the pilots who decide who gets what seat! At least with the airlines I've travelled on. It's the Captain's decision at the end of the day - he decides who gets what upgrade/seat depending on who's listed to fly. Companies obviously want to publicise the fact that they prioritise their frequent fliers (to incentivise people to buy), but staff travel actually comes first most of the time.
Emirates might be different, but the UK airlines I'm familiar with prioritise staff travel (especially if the passenger is travelling with a crew member).
What a pleasant lady to listen to. She really draws you in and makes you pay attention to everything she says. I bet she's a wonderful flight attendant!
I’ve flown my whole life and did not know why the chairs had to be upright lol not anything else like the tables . This gracious lady was so informative, and sweet .
I do know cabin crew are very tough and very trained as she said 😍
I was boarding a flight to Spain and the captain was at the aircraft door greeting us passengers. When my ex realised the pilot was a woman he tried to convince me to leave the flight. He actually visibly paled when he cottoned on.
He was an uptight nightmare the WHOLE flight which further peed me off as I’m a nervous flyer.
I dumped him but had to stay in the booked apartment with him for the whole week 🤦🏻♀️.
And some men wonder why we still feel a bit picked on and singled out.
Judging by a non-catastophic ending, I'm guessing the plane was landed safely by the male co-pilot, right?
Never happened.
Have a lot of respect for cabin crew, they take a lot of nonsense at times from very rude people.
@@aaronosheaarcheryis your life that boring that you think that's a made up story? what bit about that story seemed so unrealistic to you?
@@sgtjonzo probs all of it to be honest. If someone came to you and said this, would you believe it? Lol
Firstly, if anyone refused to fly because it was a female pilot then they would be wasting money... doubt anyone would do that.
She's such a kind and intelligent woman
The woke mind who prefers pilots based on identity over ability is neither intelligent nor kind. Stupid and evil would be an appropriate description.
Oh I like that one. I think I’m going to use that “my cooking isn’t bad, it’s your taste buds, they haven’t adjusted” 😂😂😂
Please thank her for her honesty in the answers
I heard that "altitude changes tastebuds" explanation so often... But A), I've been to altitudes of close to 6000m, and stuff still tasted fine, and B) I brought plenty of my own food on planes and even a cheap ass sandwich is normally tastier than the crap which is in those trays...
There's definitely something to that though, because there's scientific truth to tomato juice tasting better in planes, it's insane! I always prefer it on a flight over on land. 😅
I thought the same - if you bring nuts, fruits etc they taste the same as on the ground, you've eaten them many times, you'd notice if it was different.
It's not just the pressure, but the extremely low humidity on board. Modern planes like the 787 and a350 have higher humidity but the majority or planes have humidity below 10% (where I live on the ground humidity is usually 70-80%)
This lady is absolutely brilliant and knowledgeable! What a fantastic person to learn from ❤
Learn inane woke ideology I guess. Unlike her I prefer pilots based on ability not gender. Y'know, I'm the kind of person she mocks.
I love Mandy for upgrading the victim of racism!
Same here. I did not want to make a comment about that part of the interview but I am shocked in this modern day someone would try that.
This woman has such a lovely, warm manner. She is extremely tactful and professional. Plus I love her voice and accent 😊. Very interesting video thank you.
Very informative. My wife and I think you're all angels when we fly.
I always had mad respect for cabin crew, but I do my best to respect everyone doing their job anywhere, anyhow, so yeah. :D
This is so interesting! I’ve always been hugely fascinated by how airplanes operate and this gave me some new insights that I haven’t heard before. I know a lot of people have a fear of flying, but I always look forward to it and love the whole airport and flight experience. Maybe that’s because I don’t travel often for it to become tedious!
13:20 airplane mode. She's right on most things, but wrong on this one. The ILS beacon is in a different frequency range. There are international laws and agreements on what frequency bands are used by telecom and other users, specifically to prevent what she's claiming. It does, however, quickly drain your battery because your phone keeps trying to connect to cell towers that aren't there.
If something so dramatic as losing an ILS signal could happen, phones would be permanently banned on board.
It's to avoid the fairly small risk of interference with any of the airplanes electronics. If they did not insist on flight mode the airplane electronics would have to be designed, tested and regularly re-certified compatible with full strength mobile/cellular phone signals. Some commercial planes flying today were built before cell phones even existed.
@murdo_mck yes, but it depends on what frequencies they operate. The bands don't overlap, and that's by design. The age of the aircraft doesn't change the regulated frequency bands.
@@Misteribel read murdo's response again. they were not talking about the communication between beacon and plane.
@@murdo_mck If there was any real risk they wouldn't just trust people to put their devices in airplane mode.
If terrorists could bring down planes with a phone or a similar device, they would never be allowed in.
Regulated devices really send very weak amounts of energy, won't do shit to any cable that is at least somewhat protected (even on the level of the average $2 usb cable). Even devices that don't respect norms and try to send as much energy out as they can are very likely going to hurt you and people next to you first before actually doing damage to the aircraft.
The real reason is they don't want passengers to be distracted by their devices during critical phases of the flight
5G can have a negative effect on some aircraft auto land capabilities, but I'm not an expert on if there is anything beyond that technically. Mostly tho, I think they just don't want people yaking on phones while in the air and/or want passengers to NOT be distracted during critical phases of flight.
The statistics say over 80% of people survive aviation accidents but that statistic does not specify accidents into categories like only including those that were a total hull loss vs things like a bird strike, uncontained fan failures, fuel exhausted, etc. where there was repairable damage and maybe some nail biting moments but still finished with a runway landing. Even a total hull loss has had large numbers of survivors such as US Airways ditching in the Hudson river in NY where everyone survived with only a few minor injuries even though the aircraft was a write-off.
This was really interesting. Thank you for answering these questions.
While elevation can affect taste, I think it's pretty widely agreed that airplane food sucks these days. Especially compared with 50-60 years ago.
Sandwich tastes just fine , meal tastes like shit, yeah it’s the altitude.
That's a stupid comparison. 50-60 years ago, ticket prices are the same as first class today. 90% of passengers today won't be able to afford to fly at all.
@@nntflow7058what's that got to do with altitude affecting taste?
@@thatsthat2612 What are you talking about?
Agreed. I've had excellent meals on flights. You CAN make food taste good in altitude. But obviously the incentive just isn't there in most cases.
I joined the mile high club the easy way; we moved to Denver!
I’m terrified of flying. Loved listening to her explain some technical stuff!

@@robertcristianoros1293 hi, flight attendant here as well, you can get some medicine for nausea, it makes people drowsy after 30 minutes so if you take it before boarding, get seated, and keep your seatbelt visible so we don't have to wake you up, you'll have a nice long sleep fairly easily :) Avoid driving afterwards if your flight is short as the effects last several hours!

In the US, we don’t require window shades open at any time. We do require tray tables closed, laptops out away, and seats fully forward… but arm rests are fine left in the up position
I’m in the United States now and every time they takeoff or land, they require the window shades to be open

@@ebridgewater you got that part right 🤣
She is so pleasant and charming. Always be kind to flight attendant. Thank you Ladbible for bringing this nice lady for the video.
She’s the nicest person I’ve ever seen
It's likely that another person has mentioned this, but I have been told by a cousin of mine - a retired commercial pilot, and a couple flight attendants, that while passengers can give flight attendants trouble - they told me there is sometimes conflicts between flight attendants simmering just below the surface. As for me - I think most flight attendants are great!
As a former funeral director the thing about "rigor mortis" setting in and then the person couldn't fit in their coffin is 100000% wrong. Rigor is broken easily by moving the limbs and, once broken, does not come back. It also breaks down naturally if not forced.
MY FLYING ANXIETY IS SO BAD THAT MY HEART IS RACING JUST WATCHING THIS. WHAT CAN I DO TO FEEL A BIT MORE AT EASE 😭
for obese customers, I heard you can buy two seats as is expected, but sometimes you can apply to the airline after the flight and if they were not full on that flight, some airlines will reimburse you.
Sounds like something an obese person would say
This lady is great, as she's just answered most of my own questions, so, many thanks for that, and I like flying, but I don't do it that often
One thing she said that is wrong, statistically if you look at historical data on crashes, the further back in the plane you sit the more likely you are to survive in a crash. The seats over the wings are less effected by turbulence, but sitting closest to the huge wings full of fuel isn't ideal for survivability during a crash.
In the rear is more likely to survive the crash but in the front is more likely to survive the fire so pick your poison.
it really depends on the type of crash you have, which part of the plane impacts first, etc. sometimes the front is thrown clear of a fire. if you look up united flight 232, you notice the captains in the very front survived, a lot of people seated around the middle survived unscathed, and the front and rear was mostly fatalities - all the survivors from the front and rear were severely injured. it really depends on the accident.
absolutely correct - I used to fly very often between 1999 and 2022 and heard exactly that from crew many times
As an aviation geek I am impressed that I knew the answers to most of these questions - thanks to another UA-camr I follow, he's a pilot & his wife was cabin crew ...🤣😂🤣
I’ve been a pilot since 1994. Mobile phones do NOT affect anything. The old phones in the 90’s actually did, but not on phones made after 1996. It’s stupid. When I’m flying my own plane, I never turn the phone to airplane mode. Talk to pilots - 90%+ will tell you the same thing, but get the government involved, laws are almost never changed once they’re past
Laws are almost never become the past once they've been passed.
Passed, not past.
Mobile phones do create potential issues so no, it's not "stupid" .
Having lots of mobile phones traveling overhead in the sky can be disruptive for mobile networks, especially since phones that get poor reception will increase their transmit power in an attempt to make a connection (which also means that not putting your phone in airplane mode will drain the battery like crazy)
@@MatthijsvanDuin- actually, this is a myth that like most myths started out with a grain of truth. It’s like this. Back in the day (90’s - there weren’t enough cell phones in the 80’s to matter) when cell phone companies used to charge big bucks for “roaming” (which didn’t actually cost them any more money than any other phone call), cell phone companies freaked out. Because the analog signals would bounce off several towers at once, often switching from one to the next before rapidly shifting back to the first tower and then immediately towards a third tower, the companies became concerned about lost revenue. They couldn’t bill you for roaming charges if they couldn’t for sure determine exactly where you were during a call. And it’s been shown repeatedly that the phone company lobbyists were the ones who pushed the aviation ban, not the airlines, not the pilot’s unions, nobody in the aviation community at all. And in the US anyway, the FAA guidance on wording for the “no cell phone usage” announcement strongly suggests that the announcement includes the phrase “cell phone usage COULD interfere with navigation equipment (emphasis added - notice it doesn’t say “DOES”). NOWHERE in said recommendation or wording does it say ANYTHING about disruption of cellular communications on earth. You can trust me when I say, at least 80% of people do not turn their phones and iPads onto airplane mode. Passengers can’t really get reliable cell phone data at 36,000 feet so they’re going to be using WiFi, but they don’t turn their devices on airplane mode. You’ll know this to be true if you fly a lot and notice when the aircraft is descending for landing and gets about 3,000 feet above ground level that you’ll often hear numerous phones start ringing
About the radio signals. The ILS frequency ranges from 108 to 112 MHz. There is nothing in the cellphone with that capability. 2.4 GHz or 5GHz for wireless, 800 MHz, 1200, etc for mobile network. Nothing on 108 to 112.
She’s fabulous. So bubbly and I learned so much!
It doesn't happen that often... maybe 1 out of 30 flights.. and here I am, a former airline employee who always thought that kind of stuff doesn't happen anymore since 9/11.
I found it funny to get an Airline Manager 2024 ad in the middle of this video, I'm childish 😂
1/20 flights is often! 😂
I thought that when she said it.
Literally just made that comment too 😂😂😂
1/20 days at home would be a lot for me 😂😂
i think she meant 1/20 flights she personally flies, and cabin crew flying long hauls fly around 4 or 5 rotations a month, so it would be once every few months :) and i fly short/medium hauls and it doesn't happen as the lavatories are in our galleys anyway. So once every few months only on big aircrafts that fly long haul. It's not that often! (unless you combine all flights in the world then it must be a hundred times a day or more probably lol)
she meant 1/20 of HER flights
Lovely lady. She's so elegant in her mannerisms and speech. It reminds me of how Princess Diana sounded like. Loved this segment, very interesting. I knew some things because I worked in Customer service for an airline for a few years but some were surprising like the one about the passenger passing away in flight. I got a little but scared when she spoke if the plane "ditching" at sea and after she said the survivors got eaten by shsrks....kinda rethink my next vacation 😅 maybe I'll drive this time
20:07
It's funny when you look at the safety factor mechanically in things. Farming equipment has a safetyfactor usually of around 10-20, sometimes higher. That means that the weakest part can withstand at least 10 times the maximum expected force. Cables on an elevator have 20 I believe, cranes have their own safety factor, and over that another factor of 2 gets applied for the cable. Airplanes have a safetyfactor of 1.05. Ofcourse it is heavily regulated, the maximum forced are very well mapped out, but the number is so small.
The window blinds have to be open so that there’s an unobstructed view outside during critical phases of flight and all ground ops. If an evacuation were to be required and some window shades are down, it could be difficult to assess where fire or smoke may be present.
The fuselage is not sheet metal. It is either high strength aluminum alloys, carbon fiber, or both.
I don’t think anyone cares what it is as long as it doesn’t have any holes in it
Yeah, high strength aluminium alloy sheet metal
P fellow VS crew here. Another reason why we ask you to put your window blinds up is because you are the eyes and ears for us on take off and landing. We want you to look out of the window to make sure there’s no fire or falling debris going on
The bland food is not because of taste buds underperforming, it's actually the olfactory cells in the nose underperforming. We mostly smell food, not taste it.
Aw I like this one. I like all these honesty box videos but I find this one fascinating 🙂
I knew a pilot who offered a service, he took people up in his private plane. He would speak to each side of the encounter and made sure everyone was legally an adult, and they knew what the flight was for. He said, "I'm noy going up te get someone SAed.
Twice he returned to the ground after someone changed their mind but no one ever pressed the issue. The pilot said he ways of discouraging SA's. Remember, an airplane pilot can control gravity Turning it up or down, even reversing it if he wants.
19:02 100% correct on not enough female pilots, however it IS improving. Roughly 5% of ATPL pilots (the ones flying you around places) are female, however we now have 15% of all student pilots being female which is a huge improvement. I attend flight school currently and our male to female ratio is pretty good if I'm honest. Probably 1 woman for every 4 men. Interestingly, India has 3 times as many female pilots on a professional level than most other countries.
Even less common is female aircraft mechanics. Less than 3% are female... so if you want to break barriers, that's a great place so start.
I can't find any information on any airlines incidents involving ditching that resulted in anyone being eaten by sharks. The closest I've come is ALM Flight 980 which crashed in shark-infested waters, but no source claims that any of the 23 fatalities were shark-related. I would be interested if anyone else could provide information, because that sounds wild to me. Further, the airplane mode claim has been debunked so many times it's almost getting boring. I'm sure she's told so many passengers by now that she truly believes it. I suppose it's not harming anybody.
Agreed think her story about the ditching is inaccurate.
yeah, I tried googling that as well and no results came up that matched with her story
The crash she is referring to is that of Birgenair Flight 301 which occurred on the 7th of February 1996 and was the joint-deadliest aviation incident involving a Boeing 757 (along with American Airlines Flight 77) having a total of 189 fatalities. Furthermore, Flight 301 is the deadliest aviation accident ever to have occurred in the Dominican Republic.
It was caused by erroneous airspeed readings.
There was evidence that some of the recovered bodies had been 'mangled' by sharks and life rafts were found floating in the area. But obviously no one knows how many of them had survived and were subsequently eaten or attacked by the sharks.
"All 189 people on board a Boeing 757 charter plane - most of them German tourists heading home from two weeks of tropical sunshine - were killed yesterday when their aircraft crashed into the Caribbean minutes after taking off from Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic."
"US Coast Guard vessels joined the rescue effort before dawn yesterday. Officers said they and the Dominican navy had picked up 40 bodies by afternoon, some of them injured by sharks.
Dominican officials said there was little hope that anyone survived. The Coast Guard said schools of circling sharks made it too dangerous to use divers.
The aircraft apparently sank quickly but reports of empty life rafts floating among the debris suggested some passengers may have escaped from the wreckage, only to be blown towards the sharks by stormy winds and eight foot waves."
@@NotInAsia thanks for the info, that's interesting and is quite possibly what the lady is referring to. I only say *possibly* because the incident you mention was not a controlled emergency landing on water (aka a water ditching) but an uncontrolled crash due to malfunction with the plane. Also, there was evidence of shark predation on some bodies but not surviving passengers being attacked by sharks as is claimed. It seems that this flight attendant is possibly confusing/conflating various incidents so it's difficult to know for sure.
@@systemofapown yes but that's called 'Chinese whispers', stories inevitably become embellished as they're passed on. On Wikipedia it says everyone died on impact. So I think that's the official hypothesis. But the media reported them being eaten. I guess it's more news-worthy. So that probably just existed in her memory.
Nice one lad bible! Thats very interesting for an AV geek like me
Just started and think we're being gaslit about the plane food 😂
I never had a problem with the food. Hungry and it all tastes good 😁
Always found that interesting, when we flew to New York in 2007 I loved the plane food, it was delicious. And I'm a fussy eater.
At some point in my life I wanted to be a flight attendant and this video is making me want to pursue that Dream again
Patience of a saint. I couldn't do it. So many passengers don't listen to instructions these days. That's what'll get them killed in an emergency. Does my head in when somebody's messaging during take off or landing. Can't they put their devices away for a short while? If you messaging the people you're going to meet, you will see them soon. If you're messaging the people you left behind, stay at home.
I feel like the answer to the question on why the seats, window blinds, and tray table need to be up during take-off and landing needs more detail and I will attempt to provide it. The riskiest parts of a flight is the take-off and landing, it's where the pilots have the least amount of time to react to any emergency situation. Should an emergency occur at this time, the airplane will have to either crash or crash-land very quicly which then means you'll have to get out of the airplane very quickly. Having your tray tables down will impede you from getting out quickly in a crash, the seat infront of you could also deform from the crash preventing you from putting it back up too causing you to have to wrestle with it in the fire and smoke to get out. Similarly if your seat is reclined, in a crash it's going to impede the person behind you from getting out quickly - so that's why when the airplane is close to the ground, you're required to put the tray tables and seats in a position which allows quick exit. As for the window blinds, it's about giving your eyes the time to adust to the outside lighting so that in the event of a crash, you exit the airplane quicly and your eyes are already adjusted to the outside light so you can find your way away from the crashed airplane fast.
I would also like to elaborate more on the airplane mode bit because some people have asked how is it that a $500 phone can interrupt a $100,000,000 airplane. Mobile phones are always searching for cell signals 24/7 where your phone sends out a ping to the cell tower every few seconds just to inform the cell tower that your phone's connected to it and waits for a ping back from the cell tower to confirm.
On the ground when your mobile phone senses that the cell signal is weak from the cell tower's reply, it will automatically boost its own transmission signal to make sure the signal it sends out can get to the cell tower - this is why your battery also drains faster if you have a weak cell signal. If you don't put your phone into airplane mode when you're in an airplane, as the airplane takes off the phone will sense that the cell signal is weakening and will keep sending out stronger and stronger pings to try and reach a cell tower until a point where the phone is just sending pings at maximum transmission power.
One phone doing this alone isn't likely to cause issues with the airplane unless the airplane itself was struggling to pick up a very faint signal from the ground or from satellites. However if all the passengers in the airplane had their phones not in airplane mode, you're talking about 100 or more phones all blasting pings at max transmission power trying to reach a cell tower and the resulting massive bursts of transmissions can interrupt the airplane's own trasmitters and receivers trying to reach something far away on the ground.
@@pjninja9546 Having zero, one or million phones makes absolutely no difference since mobile phones work in frequency bands that have absolutely nothing with any of the frequency band that any of the plane or ground equipment is using. So stop spreading this idiotic BS.
@@perakojot6524 While commercial airline equipment doesn't generally operate on the same frequencies as mobile phones, Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) can still occur due to the complex nature of electromagnetic signals and the potential for harmonics and spurious emissions from electronic devices. Here are some ways RFI can occur even when the frequencies are different:
- Harmonics: Electronic devices can emit harmonic frequencies that are multiples of their operating frequency. If a mobile phone emits harmonics that fall within the frequency range of aircraft systems, it can cause interference.
- Spurious Emissions: These are unintended emissions at frequencies other than the primary operating frequency of a device. They can occur due to imperfections in electronic components or circuit design. If these emissions fall within the frequency range of aircraft systems, they can cause interference.
- Conducted Interference: Even if the emitted frequency is not in the range of aircraft systems, it can still cause interference through conducted pathways, such as through power lines or other conductive paths in the aircraft.
To mitigate these risks,the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) have strict regulations to minimize the potential for interference.
My wife, who is much more seasoned than me when it comes to air travel, has a conspiracy theory regarding the brace position. Somebody once told her that people are told to adopt the brace position as your neck will snap quicker if the plane crashes. What creeps me out about that is that somebody said that to her as a child. She used to fly a lot as an ‘un accompanied minor’ with her dad working all over the world on civil engineering projects.
Luckily that is all it is - a conspiracy theory. Brace position saves lives. Why someone would tell that to a child I don't know...
I was a on a flight where a guy in the front needed CPR after defib did not work. They called for docs and nurses and at least 5 people went up and some eventually returned to their seats. Two took turns doing CPR. We were diverted to land quickly and they got the guy off and said he was receiving "proper medical care" and thanked the flight crew and those that helped. The pilot can say all he wants, but when you do CPR for a long time it means the guys is dead or will be soon.
Sound like heroes to volunteer for that
"I would like to upgrade the other gentleman now" Such a boss move.
@13:28 this makes no sense... if you have your phone in airplane mode. All the signals coming off the cell tower and still going straight through the plane and straight through your phone. Your phone just isn't listening the signals now.
This would be like me telling you to close your eyes, that way you can walk out a 5 story window, since you don't see the ground, you will just float on the air.
The windows are also for the fire-fighter to do their observations. Same with the reading light.

I was once on a virgin atlantic flight back from Vegas. Sat right at the back in the last 3 seater window row. Behind me was a guy and girl in the only row of 2 seats who didn't know each other. He told her he was a film producer and she wasn't smart enough to question why someone of that importance was in economy on long haul and they got chatting and took full advantage of the free booze on Virgin Atlantic (back then anyway, it was around 2015). One thing led to another and he ended up getting a blowie from her about an hour before landing before the lights came back on.
After he had got his end away he must have got bored because she asked "is that it then" and it went silent. When the plane landed he made up some ridiculous excuse about his sunglasses being stuck down the side of the chair so he didn't have to walk down the aisle with her and then when I got into arrivals she was met by her family.
Fair play to him. i didn't think he was going to close the deal with how long he was dragging it out chatting and drinking.
I'm going to be flying in the middle of August. This video is very reassuring!
