Maybe the flight attendant singing "Up, up and away, in my beautiful... airplane" got to someone the way it did me a few years ago. However, I love Southwest despite that. Always on time, and best prices in town.

Hoping it's a hoax. Friday, bored teens on vacation from indoctrination camp, calling local airports and putting a dish towel over the mouthpiece to muffle their voices and make them sound older...oh wait, now they can use mini warpers to do the job of the dish towel...

"Another kid that didn't want to go on vacation w/ their parents?"

IIRC, that overaged brat didn't even get a slap on the wrist out of that little escapade.

I like when the flight attendants say stupid/silly things over the intercom. No one listens to them until they say something like "Welcome to Flight #257 heading to Hawaii" when the flight is going to Chicago....gets people to pay attention and laugh.

"This is the first time one of my aerospace pings has been about a news story involving my home town."

Considering the topic, let's hope it's the LAST one of it's type involving your hometown.

There isn't a flight 21 from DFW to CRP, and it isn't flown on a 757.

Yes there is (a flight 21). You have your arrival and departing cities swapped. It leaves Dallas at 11:30 am and arrives Corpus Cristi at 1:40 pm. It normally does not stop in Houston. There is only one Dallas to Corpus Cristi flight that stops in Houston and it leaves at 3 pm.

Complaining about the lack of mini skirted stews.

otherwise we should assume that the story is reliable?

Based on that level of reporting, I'm not sure we can safely rule out the blimp possibility.

Oops, I take that back. I normally makes one stop (maybe Houston?), but there is not a plane change.

Juan Epstein joke probably go over everyone's head.

But I hear that Barrington Womble has a great hairdressing shop in Sussex.

You're right. There isn't a Flight 21 from Corpus to Dallas; It's from Dallas to Corpus, as I said.

You are also correct that it isn't a 757. I'm not sure who said it was, but I appreciate your attention to detail.

We all make mistakes . . . . . .

Al Queada thugs don't leave notes or make phone calls.

Whoever did this needs some serious straightening out.

Now the government is going to put paper on the list of banned items.

Dangerous stuff. Haven't you ever gotten a bad paper cut? :-)

Saying something stupid or silly doesn't bother me. This lady SANG during takeoff and landing, at least three songs. Not even short little ditties. This was long. She sounded like she was hoping to impress some talent scout, but I would fail to see how anyone would be impressed (in a positive way) with her "talent". She had a captive audience and she knew it. It was torturous. If I were part of SW, I would have reprimanded her, but I think they have given her special recognition instead. It's been my only complaint with SW all the many, many times I've flown with them.
