Pilots
and Stewards Jokes
On reaching his
plane seat a man is surprised to see a parrot strapped in next to him.
He asks the stewardess for a coffee where upon the parrot squawks, "And
get me a whisky you cow!" The stewardess, flustered, brings back a
whisky for the parrot and forgets the coffee.
When this
omission is pointed out to her the parrot drains its glass and bawls,
"And get me another whisky you bitch". Quite upset, the girl comes back
shaking with another whisky but still no coffee.
Unaccustomed to
such slackness the man tries the parrot's approach, "I've asked you
twice for a coffee, go and get it now or I'll kick your ass".
Next moment
both he and the parrot have been wrenched up and thrown out of the
emergency exit by two burly stewards. Plunging downwards the parrot
turns to him and says, "For someone who can't fly you're a lippy
bastard!"
As soon as the
stewardess serves the coffee, the airplane encounters turbulence.
It was mealtime
on a small airline and the flight attendant asked the passenger if he
would like dinner.
"What
are my choices?" he asked.
"Yes
or No," she replied.
An airplane
pilot dies at the controls. He goes to Hell. The devil takes him to the
'newly arrived' area. There are three doors, marked 1, 2, and 3. The
devil tells the pilot that he is going to get to choose his own hell,
but first, the devil has to take care of something first, and
disappears.
The curious pilot looks behind door number one. He sees a pilot going
through flight checks for all eternity. He looks behind door number
two, and he sees a pilot that forever finds himself trying to resolve
emergency situations. He looks behind the last door, and sees a Captain
being waited on hand and foot by scantily-clad stewardesses.
The devil returns just as the pilot gets back to his waiting position.
He offers the pilot a choice of door number one or two. The pilot says,
"I wanted door number three!"
"Sorry," replies the devil, "that's 'flight attendant's hell' ."
A burly good
'ol boy Texan on a flight flags down a steward and says, "Captain, I
want a drink but I don't see the stewardess around".
The steward answers, "Actually I'm not the captain. This airline is
proud to have integrated many of the traditional male-female roles of
the industry. I'd be happy to get you a drink".
Passenger: "Wow, what does the captain think of that?"
Steward: "She's all for it, in fact, the entire flight crew is female."
Passenger: "I don't believe it!! Take me up to the cockpit so I can see
for myself!"
Steward: "Actually sir, we don't call it that anymore."
What is ideal
Flight Deck complement for a modern airliner?
A Captain, a
Co-pilot and a dog. The dog is there to bite the captain if he tries to
touch the controls, and the co-pilot is there to feed the dog.
How does the
captain know the aircraft is safely at the ramp?
Both the engines and the co-pilot stop whining.
After the first
takeoff of the fully automatic airplane, the passengers heard the
soothing, reassuring voice of the pilot: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is
your automatic pilot. In my modern and carefully tested system an error
is absolutely impossible, absolutely impossible, absolutely impossible,
..."

How do you know
when you are half way through a date with a pilot?
Because he says: "That's enough about flying, let's talk about me!"
A male pilot is
a confused soul who talks about women when he is flying, and about
flying when he is with a woman.
As the airliner
was preparing to land in Madrid in a rainstorm, an English passenger
seemed noticeably afraid. "What's the problem, fellow?" asked his seat
mate.
"Surely,"
said the Englishman, "you've heard the saying, 'The planes in Spain
fall mainly in the rains!!'"
While cruising
at 40,000 feet, the airplane shuddered and Mr. Benson looked out the
window. "Good lord!" he screamed, "one of the engines just blew up!"
Other
passengers left their seats and came running over; suddenly the
aircraft was rocked by a second blast as yet another engine exploded on
the other side.
The passengers
were in a panic now, and even the stewardesses couldn't maintain order.
Just then, standing tall and smiling confidently, the pilot strode from
the cockpit and assured everyone that there was nothing to worry about.
His words and his demeanor seemed made most of the passengers feel
better, and they sat down as the pilot calmly walked to the door of the
aircraft. There, he grabbed several packages from under the seat sand
began handing them to the flight attendants. Each crew member attached
the package to their backs.
"Say,"
spoke up an alert passenger, "aren't those parachutes?"
The pilot said
they were.
The passenger
went on, "But I thought you said there was nothing to worry about?"
"There
isn't," replied the pilot as a third engine exploded. "We're going to
get help."
An airplane was
flying from LA to New York. About an hour into the flight, the pilot
announced, "We have lost an engine, but don't worry, there are three
left. However, instead of 5 hours it will take 7 hours to get to New
York."
A little later,
the pilot announced, "A second engine failed, but we still have two
left. However, it will take 10 hours to get to New York."
Somewhat later,
the pilot again came on the intercom and announced, "A third engine had
died. Never fear, because the plane can fly on a single engine.
However, it will now take 18 hours to get to new York."
At this point,
one passenger said, "Gee, I hope we don't lose that last engine, or
we'll be up here forever!"
Taxiing down
the tarmac, the jetliner abruptly stopped, turned around and returned
to the gate. After an hour-long wait, it finally took off.
A concerned
passenger asked the flight attendant, "What was the problem?"
"The
pilot was bothered by a noise he heard in the engine," explained the
flight attendant, "and it took us a while to find a new pilot."
A pilot and a
co-pilot were descending for a landing at an airport they had never
been to before. The pilot looked out the windshield, and suddenly
exclaimed to the co-pilot: "Holy cow! Look how short the runway is!
I've never seen one that short!"
The co-pilot
looked out the windshield. "Wow! you're right! That's incredible! Are
you sure we can make it?"
"Well we better, we're almost out of fuel."
So the captain
got on the intercom, and notified the passengers to put their heads
between their knees, and prepare for an emergency landing. Then he set
the flaps to full down, and slowed the plane to just over stall speed.
The big jumbo jet came screaming in, on the ragged edge of control. The
pilot's hands were sweating, the co-pilot was praying.
They touched
down, and came screeching to a halt just before the edge of the runway,
the tires smoking.
"HEW!
That was CLOSE!" yelled the captain. "That runway was SHORT!"
"Yeah!" said the co-pilot, "and WIDE too!"

What's the purpose of the propeller? To keep the pilot cool. If you
don't think so, just stop it and watch him sweat!
A young guy in
a two-engine fighter was flying escort for a B-52 and generally being a
nuisance, acting like a hotdog, flying rolls around the lumbering old
bomber. The hotdog said over the air, "Anything you can do, I can do
better."
The veteran
bomber pilot answered, "Try this hot-shot."
The B-52 continued its flight, straight and level.
Perplexed, the
hotdog asked, "So? What did you do?"
"I just shut down two engines, kid."
"Flight
1234, for noise abatement turn right 45 degrees.."
"But Center, we are at 35,000 feet, how much noise can we make up
here?"
"Sir, have you ever heard the noise a 707 makes when it hits a 727?"
Cessna: "Jones
tower, Cessna 12345, student pilot, I am out of fuel."
Tower: "Roger Cessna 12345, reduce airspeed to best glide!! Do you have
the airfield in sight?!?!!"
Cessna: "Uh...tower, I am on the south ramp; I just want to know where
the fuel truck is."
"Didn't
you read this book in our previous flight? Haven't you ended it yet?",
the woman asked her husband.
"Yes
I did", answered the husband, "but everyone knows that the first thing
the rescuers look for after a plane crash is the Black Box".
A man
telephoned an airline office in New York and asked, "How long does it
take to fly to Boston?"
The clerk said, "Just a minute..."
"Thank you," the man said and hung up.
A man walks up
to the counter at the airport. "Can I help you?" asks the agent.
"I
want a round trip ticket," says the man.
"Where
to?" asks the agent.
"Right
back to here."
Getting on a
plane, I told the ticket lady, "Send one of my bags to New York, send
one to Los Angeles, and send one to Miami."
She said, "We
can't do that!"
I told her,
"You did it last week!"
Frequent
Flayer's Ten Golden Rules
- No flight
ever leaves on time unless you are running late and need the delay to
make the flight.
- If you are
running late for a flight, it will depart from the farthest gate within
the terminal.
- If you
arrive very early for a flight, it inevitably will be delayed.
- Flights
never leave from Gate #1 at any terminal in the world.
- If you must
work on your flight, you will experience turbulence as soon as you
touch pen to paper. Or start to drink your coffee.
- If you are
assigned a middle seat, you can determine who has the seats on the
aisle and the window while you are still in the boarding area. Just
look for the two largest passengers.
- Only
passengers seated in window seats ever have to get up to go to the
lavatory.
- The crying
baby on board is always seated next to you.
- The
best-looking woman/man on your flight is never seated next to you.
- The less
carry-on luggage space available on an aircraft, the more carry-on
luggage passengers will bring aboard.
