    112: Flight Attendants Reveal: The Worst Passengers We've Ever Met!

    Sometimes the passengers aren’t the problem — the real turbulence is coming from inside the crew. In Episode 112, Shawn & G talk about the flight attendants who can turn an easy trip into four days of psychological warfare: the self-appointed lead, the passive-aggressive coworker, the seniority superhero, and the person whose reputation arrives before they do. They also get into the warning signs of a bad crew, surviving the dreaded “correction tour,” counting down to the end of a miserable pairing, great new-hire flight attendants, non-revving with pets, why one difficult coworker helped drive a base change, and the importance of flexibility in airline life. Then Around the Globe takes a serious turn with passengers taking luggage during aircraft evacuations — and why Shawn & G think there should be consequences.

    111: Is Being a Flight Attendant Worth It? Our Honest Review

    What happens when the job you’ve complained about for decades suddenly isn’t part of your life anymore? This week, Shawn & G talk about the things they’ll genuinely miss about being flight attendants—from crew connections, layover adventures, travel perks, hotel life, and the airline family to the adrenaline and unpredictability that make every trip different.

Plus, a 12-year-old restores Shawn’s faith in humanity, G watches a Cleveland crew jump into action during a medical emergency, and Around the Globe features a flight attendant retiring after an incredible 63-year career.

    105: Airline Life Secrets: What Really Happens at the Gate

    What raises a flight attendant’s blood pressure before the airplane even leaves the gate? This week on Cabin Pressure with Shawn & G, we talk about the boarding habits that drive crews crazy — blocked aisles, misplaced bags, last-minute lavatory runs, confused seat assignments, and passengers who suddenly need everything just as the door is about to close. Then we go Around the Globe with some unbelievable aviation stories, including a passenger removing her clothes on an American Airlines flight, a violent Qatar Airways incident, and an emergency descent of roughly 27,000 feet in ten minutes that sent oxygen masks dropping. We also share a great video from a newer flight attendant that leads to some advice from the “old dogs”: stick with it, learn from each other, and remember that both new and experienced crew members have something to teach. Finally, we talk about staying positive when travel gets stressful, because delays, cancellations, difficult passengers, and unexpected changes are all part of the journey. Another week of airline stories, crew life, laughs, and a little perspective — only on Cabin Pressure with Shawn & G. And remember: Good days give you happiness. Bad days give you experience. The worst days give you lessons. And the best days give you memories. Welcome aboard another episode of Cabin Pressure with Shawn & G.
