After years as a flight attendant and cabin crew, Shawn and G have learned one thing about aviation: sometimes there is no good choice… only the least terrible one. In this episode of Cabin Pressure with Shawn & G, we play a round of aviation “Would You Rather?” and get into the real-life chaos of cabin crew life. Would you rather work a 14-hour flight with no coffee maker or a four-hour flight with a screaming baby? Deal with nonstop call-button dings or a passenger who will not stop talking? Handle turbulence or survive a wild crew van ride? And the big one — would you rather work with the most annoying passenger ever or a flight attendant you cannot stand? This podcast brings the usual mix of travel, humor, comedy, behind-the-scenes travel secrets, and useful travel tips from inside the airline world. We also talk about airport carpet, missed commutes, Dulles chaos, G turning 60, colonoscopy reminders, ear block on airplanes, and why experienced flight attendants always prep the night before. Then we go Around the Globe with a disruptive passenger who was duct taped and zip tied during a flight, new flight data from a fatal cargo plane crash at MIA, the Blue Angels in Cleveland and Pensacola, a man who may have been personally selected by Zeus, a feel-good video that should make you smile, and an ugly pants exchange at the airport. If you love flight attendant stories, cabin crew humor, aviation talk, travel comedy, passenger behavior, crew life, and real conversations from people who have lived this job for decades, this episode is for you.
