In this episode of Honesty Box, we sat down with the lovely Mandy Smith, former cabin crew for Virgin Atlantic, and author of Cabin Fever: The Sizzling Secrets of a Virgin Air Hostess.' Mandy answers your questions on airline food, the infamous 'mile high club', whether turbulence is dangerous, and reveals why co-pilots aren't allowed to eat the same food.

A family member was going through a very rough time a few years back, and is also mildly claustrophobic. He's never been a nervous flyer, though, and in fact holds a pilot's license. Anyway, it all came to a head and he ended up suffering a full-blown anxiety attack on a plane as it was taxiing for takeoff. He jumped out of his seat and bolted for the door. A flight attendant immediately recognized the situation and knew that ordering him back to his seat would do no good; he was in fight-or-flight mode. Instead, she allowed him to remain in the galley where he had some space, and calmly talked him through some breathing exercises until he was able to return to his seat. The flight was not delayed. He was able to make it through the flight without further incident (she checked on him often) and has been able to tame his anxiety with some ongoing work. We're both very grateful for this superb flight attendant who, using a little training and a whole lot of empathy, was able to so gracefully handle a humiliating and potentially dangerous situation.

30 yr FA for AA. I was the Purser (Inflight manager) on an overnight flight to LHR. Got a call that 2 passengers had snuck into the back restroom. We listened at the door & quickly knew what they were engaged in. We grabbed a piece of paper & made a “Welcome to the mile high club” certificate & about six of the crew all gathered around the lavatory door waiting patiently. The door unlocked and the young lady stepped out. The crew whooped and cheered stating loudly “Welcome to Mile the Club”! Loud enough the entire back of Economy class all turned to see what was going on. The cheering continued until the male came out & the both of them slinking back to their seats in very bright shades of red. We must always be in constant supervision of the cabin & lavs so the chance of not getting caught will be slim to none.

The crash she is referring to is that of Birgenair Flight 301 which occurred on the 7th of February 1996 and was the joint-deadliest aviation incident involving a Boeing 757 (along with American Airlines Flight 77) having a total of 189 fatalities. Furthermore, Flight 301 is the deadliest aviation accident ever to have occurred in the Dominican Republic. It was caused by erroneous airspeed readings. There was evidence that some of the recovered bodies had been 'mangled' by sharks and life rafts were found floating in the area. But obviously no one knows how many of them had survived and were subsequently eaten or attacked by the sharks. "All 189 people on board a Boeing 757 charter plane - most of them German tourists heading home from two weeks of tropical sunshine - were killed yesterday when their aircraft crashed into the Caribbean minutes after taking off from Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic." "US Coast Guard vessels joined the rescue effort before dawn yesterday. Officers said they and the Dominican navy had picked up 40 bodies by afternoon, some of them injured by sharks. Dominican officials said there was little hope that anyone survived. The Coast Guard said schools of circling sharks made it too dangerous to use divers. The aircraft apparently sank quickly but reports of empty life rafts floating among the debris suggested some passengers may have escaped from the wreckage, only to be blown towards the sharks by stormy winds and eight foot waves."

I was boarding a flight to Spain and the captain was at the aircraft door greeting us passengers. When my ex realised the pilot was a woman he tried to convince me to leave the flight. He actually visibly paled when he cottoned on. He was an uptight nightmare the WHOLE flight which further peed me off as I’m a nervous flyer. I dumped him but had to stay in the booked apartment with him for the whole week 🤦🏻‍♀️. And some men wonder why we still feel a bit picked on and singled out.

Only one thing I know not true for many airlines (according to VPs who make the rules not just not cabin crew like this lady): upgrades will go to commercial passengers first not standby staff - especially if they have rewards members, they want frequent flyers to a) have a really good experience and spread the word that the rewards schemes are worth it and b) let frequent flyers experience the higher cabins so they get a taste for it and might book it next time. Emirates always upgrades skywards members when they can. Dressing smart and being nice (not demanding) is a must though.
@katywelsh2447
@katywelsh2447 16 күн бұрын
From personal experience, it's actually the pilots who decide who gets what seat! At least with the airlines I've travelled on. It's the Captain's decision at the end of the day - he decides who gets what upgrade/seat depending on who's listed to fly. Companies obviously want to publicise the fact that they prioritise their frequent fliers (to incentivise people to buy), but staff travel actually comes first most of the time. Emirates might be different, but the UK airlines I'm familiar with prioritise staff travel (especially if the passenger is travelling with a crew member).

One thing she said that is wrong, statistically if you look at historical data on crashes, the further back in the plane you sit the more likely you are to survive in a crash. The seats over the wings are less effected by turbulence, but sitting closest to the huge wings full of fuel isn't ideal for survivability during a crash.

So once every few months only on big aircrafts that fly long haul. It's not that often! (unless you combine all flights in the world then it must be a hundred times a day or more probably lol)

13:20 airplane mode. She's right on most things, but wrong on this one. The ILS beacon is in a different frequency range. There are international laws and agreements on what frequency bands are used by telecom and other users, specifically to prevent what she's claiming. It does, however, quickly drain your battery because your phone keeps trying to connect to cell towers that aren't there. If something so dramatic as losing an ILS signal could happen, phones would be permanently banned on board.

It's to avoid the fairly small risk of interference with any of the airplanes electronics. If they did not insist on flight mode the airplane electronics would have to be designed, tested and regularly re-certified compatible with full strength mobile/cellular phone signals. Some commercial planes flying today were built before cell phones even existed.

The statistics say over 80% of people survive aviation accidents but that statistic does not specify accidents into categories like only including those that were a total hull loss vs things like a bird strike, uncontained fan failures, fuel exhausted, etc. where there was repairable damage and maybe some nail biting moments but still finished with a runway landing. Even a total hull loss has had large numbers of survivors such as US Airways ditching in the Hudson river in NY where everyone survived with only a few minor injuries even though the aircraft was a write-off.

My wife, who is much more seasoned than me when it comes to air travel, has a conspiracy theory regarding the brace position. Somebody once told her that people are told to adopt the brace position as your neck will snap quicker if the plane crashes. What creeps me out about that is that somebody said that to her as a child. She used to fly a lot as an ‘un accompanied minor’ with her dad working all over the world on civil engineering projects.

Interesting in the protocol change if someone dies on board. My mother-in-law died on a non-stop from HNL to JFK back in the 90's (just went in the bathroom and never came out). Since she died they left her there and locked the bathroom.. an FA sat with with my father-in-law the whole time. They asked him if he wanted to divert to Chicago and de-plane and he turned them down - I think he just wanted to get home. The FA's sent a condolance card. These days, I wouldnt be surprised if they pulled the deceased out of the lavatory just to keep it available.

I can't find any information on any airlines incidents involving ditching that resulted in anyone being eaten by sharks. The closest I've come is ALM Flight 980 which crashed in shark-infested waters, but no source claims that any of the 23 fatalities were shark-related. I would be interested if anyone else could provide information, because that sounds wild to me. Further, the airplane mode claim has been debunked so many times it's almost getting boring. I'm sure she's told so many passengers by now that she truly believes it. I suppose it's not harming anybody.

The crash she is referring to is that of Birgenair Flight 301 which occurred on the 7th of February 1996 and was the joint-deadliest aviation incident involving a Boeing 757 (along with American Airlines Flight 77) having a total of 189 fatalities. Furthermore, Flight 301 is the deadliest aviation accident ever to have occurred in the Dominican Republic. It was caused by erroneous airspeed readings. There was evidence that some of the recovered bodies had been 'mangled' by sharks and life rafts were found floating in the area. But obviously no one knows how many of them had survived and were subsequently eaten or attacked by the sharks. "All 189 people on board a Boeing 757 charter plane - most of them German tourists heading home from two weeks of tropical sunshine - were killed yesterday when their aircraft crashed into the Caribbean minutes after taking off from Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic." "US Coast Guard vessels joined the rescue effort before dawn yesterday. Officers said they and the Dominican navy had picked up 40 bodies by afternoon, some of them injured by sharks. Dominican officials said there was little hope that anyone survived. The Coast Guard said schools of circling sharks made it too dangerous to use divers. The aircraft apparently sank quickly but reports of empty life rafts floating among the debris suggested some passengers may have escaped from the wreckage, only to be blown towards the sharks by stormy winds and eight foot waves."

@@NotInAsia thanks for the info, that's interesting and is quite possibly what the lady is referring to. I only say *possibly* because the incident you mention was not a controlled emergency landing on water (aka a water ditching) but an uncontrolled crash due to malfunction with the plane. Also, there was evidence of shark predation on some bodies but not surviving passengers being attacked by sharks as is claimed. It seems that this flight attendant is possibly confusing/conflating various incidents so it's difficult to know for sure.

Two took turns doing CPR. We were diverted to land quickly and they got the guy off and said he was receiving "proper medical care" and thanked the flight crew and those that helped. The pilot can say all he wants, but when you do CPR for a long time it means the guys is dead or will be soon.

I feel like the answer to the question on why the seats, window blinds, and tray table need to be up during take-off and landing needs more detail and I will attempt to provide it. The riskiest parts of a flight is the take-off and landing, it's where the pilots have the least amount of time to react to any emergency situation. Should an emergency occur at this time, the airplane will have to either crash or crash-land very quicly which then means you'll have to get out of the airplane very quickly. Having your tray tables down will impede you from getting out quickly in a crash, the seat infront of you could also deform from the crash preventing you from putting it back up too causing you to have to wrestle with it in the fire and smoke to get out. Similarly if your seat is reclined, in a crash it's going to impede the person behind you from getting out quickly - so that's why when the airplane is close to the ground, you're required to put the tray tables and seats in a position which allows quick exit. As for the window blinds, it's about giving your eyes the time to adust to the outside lighting so that in the event of a crash, you exit the airplane quicly and your eyes are already adjusted to the outside light so you can find your way away from the crashed airplane fast.

I would also like to elaborate more on the airplane mode bit because some people have asked how is it that a $500 phone can interrupt a $100,000,000 airplane. Mobile phones are always searching for cell signals 24/7 where your phone sends out a ping to the cell tower every few seconds just to inform the cell tower that your phone's connected to it and waits for a ping back from the cell tower to confirm. On the ground when your mobile phone senses that the cell signal is weak from the cell tower's reply, it will automatically boost its own transmission signal to make sure the signal it sends out can get to the cell tower - this is why your battery also drains faster if you have a weak cell signal. If you don't put your phone into airplane mode when you're in an airplane, as the airplane takes off the phone will sense that the cell signal is weakening and will keep sending out stronger and stronger pings to try and reach a cell tower until a point where the phone is just sending pings at maximum transmission power. One phone doing this alone isn't likely to cause issues with the airplane unless the airplane itself was struggling to pick up a very faint signal from the ground or from satellites. However if all the passengers in the airplane had their phones not in airplane mode, you're talking about 100 or more phones all blasting pings at max transmission power trying to reach a cell tower and the resulting massive bursts of transmissions can interrupt the airplane's own trasmitters and receivers trying to reach something far away on the ground.

@@perakojot6524 While commercial airline equipment doesn't generally operate on the same frequencies as mobile phones, Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) can still occur due to the complex nature of electromagnetic signals and the potential for harmonics and spurious emissions from electronic devices. Here are some ways RFI can occur even when the frequencies are different: - Harmonics: Electronic devices can emit harmonic frequencies that are multiples of their operating frequency. If a mobile phone emits harmonics that fall within the frequency range of aircraft systems, it can cause interference. - Spurious Emissions: These are unintended emissions at frequencies other than the primary operating frequency of a device. They can occur due to imperfections in electronic components or circuit design. If these emissions fall within the frequency range of aircraft systems, they can cause interference. - Conducted Interference: Even if the emitted frequency is not in the range of aircraft systems, it can still cause interference through conducted pathways, such as through power lines or other conductive paths in the aircraft. To mitigate these risks,the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) have strict regulations to minimize the potential for interference.
