my favorite is--at least they didn't charge you extra for being fat/ugly...haven't got to use it yet, i still have some bills to pay

just tell them "it's got props, real airplanes have them"

Props are for boats....

These are awesome!

In all seriousness, though. Has anyone ever had any work repercussions from using any of these comments? Gotten called into the CPs office?

I once told a "its small" passenger that the next aircraft going was larger. They asked if they could take it and I stated yes just go inside and ask the gate agent to book them on the next flight. The flight was from PIT to IPT on a SF340. The next flight was also on a company SF340. I never heard anything from the company, but I expected it.

Heard FA tell pax "don't worry, you'll be sitting down for the whole flight."

While I was flying the CRJ;

ORD GND: "United xxx follow the CRJ from your right"
UAL xxx: "We'll follow the Barbie Jet"
Me: "Its better than a bankrupt Jet"

Pax: OMG this its so small!

Reply:

"You get what you pay for"
"Just dont look down when you flush the toilet"
"Thats what Payne Stewart said!"
"Sorry to bother you. but do you have a credit card to help pay for gas?"
"The plane or your brain?"

saying "thats not avery nice thing to say" while glancing down at my crotch
"It might be small but it hits all the right places"

"We might not have PTV's in every seat but at least the captains flying skills will keep you entertained"
"Dont worry, as long as you dont make any sudden movements you wont upset the plane"
"Pretend to have a real job and this is your own private jet"
"We might not get you high but at least youll get a buzz"
"We can rebook you on the 250am 767 flight through ATL if you like...."
"No soup for you!"

DRW

Jobear said, "...I had to go twist the rubber bands otherwise we are never gonna get outta here."

You think that is funny, but in 96' I was flying the Jetstream 31. After each leg we would go out and spin the prop by hand 15-20 rotations in order to cool the shaft of the Garrett.

When the pax asked if you wound the rubber bands it was because they saw you doing it from the terminal window!

A guy I flew with flew the J-31 and when paxs would ask him if we was winding the rubber bands he would reply, "yeah, and you don't look like you've missed to many meals so I'd better give it a couple more."
