Wasn’t it a JetBlue flight attendant who went postal recently?

JetBlue isn’t saying much. Meanwhile JetBlue pilots are looking up the guy to find out what his seniority number.

On a side note, it was good to hear Laurie Dhue on FOX with Shepard Smith. She reported on the plane incident, being that, she was a passenger on the plane.

I don’t know where she works now, but, it was good to hear her again.

No surprise that this is Jet Blue.

They are a budget airline with budget pilots and flight attendants. And their fleet is made up of mostly Airbus A320’s.

I’m glad that Jet Blue has made it thru their first 10 years without a major incident, but I believe it is only a matter of time.

That being said, I have flown Jet Blue many times, with mostly pleasant experiences.

Elaine Dickinson: There’s no reason to become alarmed, and we hope you’ll enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?

I read recently that Laurie Dhue is now retired and spends her time raising her children.

There seems to be some trouble in the cockpit.

The cockpit, what is it?

It’s a little room in the front of the plane but that’s not important right now.

Hey, danged if I know exactly where... I work now?

I know exactly where... you are coming from, Laurie Darling--

I seldom know where... I am, too.

BTW From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurie_Dhue "Dhue is the only person to have hosted shows on all three cable news networks."

Plus I heard back sometime ago she has a little affection for booze and it effected her work... but I do, too, and it doesn't effect me at all!

The only conduct producing better passenger reaction than that related in this post would be the pilot, copilot and flight engineer in midflight don parachutes,calmly walk down the aisle, then exit the plane by the back door.

Oddly enough, a potential underwear bomber on the plane tackled the pilot to prevent a tragedy;)

No more flight engineers after the 727 and early-model 747s and DC-10s. All the planes today have only a two-man flight crew.

how can passengers tell if the crazy one is the one locked in the cockpit or out of the cockpit?

I bet it’ll turn out that he’d been to a Trayvon rally the night before.
