Uneasy Flying

An American Airlines plane is scheduled to leave for Australia at 6:00 in the evening from L.A.X.

It gets to 5:00 and all of the passengers start to board the aircraft. Time goes by and it reaches 5:55. Everyone is on board including the cabin crew but no progress has been made to get the aeroplane moving! By 6:00 people start to get restless as the doors haven't even been closed yet.

One of the passengers approaches one of the flight attendants and politely asks why they are so far behind schedule. The flight attendant, looking puzzled, informs the passenger that neither the pilot or co-pilot have arrived.

This doesn't please the passengers as some have connecting flights. After waiting for another 30 minutes, finally the pilot walks through the back entrance accompanied by his co-pilot. A sigh of relief fills the cabin and all of the passengers return to their seats. As the two men make their way towards the front of the plane, the passengers begin to notice that the pilot has a guide dog and the co-pilot is using a cane to guide himself down the aisle.

As they enter the cockpit and start the engines, the passengers begin to feel uneasy and some even tighten their seatbelts. Within a few minutes the plane begins moving down the runway. As the plane gains speed, the cabin fills with some murmurs and worried looking faces, as you would expect. The plane starts to shoot down the pavement at full speed and it reaches about 100 meters from the end of the runway... the entire cabin fills with screams of terror! And with only seconds before disaster struck, the plane takes off. Again the passengers sighed with relief.

With the plane now safely in the air, the pilot turned to the co-pilot and said, "You know, one day they're not going to scream and we are all going to die!!!"
