CFC annnouncing flight 2001
Folks, I guess it's our plane alright, getting pushed back into the gate position. Looks like the ladies will go for the mike any moment.
Actually we're doing fine all things concerned - nearly on the scheduled time, dont you think so? I hear the clasps of ladies' bags clicking, the last phone calls are being made and handies are getting stashed away. Time to stretch, look at that interesting ...person... the other side of the aisle one more last time - its front rows for her for sure, and I, with my el cheapo business ticket, will get my chance to admire the MD80 motors in the back.
Twas fun, I nodded in few times, read a useless newspaper or two and heard some interesting, more or less civilized dialogues, for instance on what caused the great depression, why CO2 is good to mother earth, why Chinese desperately need CDMA, why Pt is the material for boat ancors and so on and so forth.
See you some time somewhere else, folks. BTW I hope I'll have some nice neighbours in my row - MD80 is a killer and we'll be in the air for some time. Hope we all have a nice ride and a soft landing. I just hope the pellicans up front know their job. Dont push when boarding, this plane will not start until everybody is on board.
