For all those who think flying on an airline is better than GA.

Passengers do not FLY on the airlines. They RIDE. Only the pilot and
copilot FLY.

Next time you hear a friend say "I'm flying to ........." tell him,
"Like hell you are; you're just RIDING!"

You're going for a RIDE.

IIRC his line was:

"You can ride "on" the airplane if you want but me, I'm riding *IN* the
f*ckin' airplane..."

Carry On...

Great skit!

Just dug up an MP3 I have of it.

"Which brings me to "Terminal." Another unfortunate word to be used in
association with Air Travel. And they use it all over the airport,
don't they? Somehow, I just can't hungry at a place called the
"Terminal Snack Bar." But if you've ever eaten there, you know it is an
appropriate name"

Thank you. The same goes for the Flight Attendants, too. When I ask
what you do, and you say you "Fly for American Airlines," you're BSing
me if you're a flight attendant. You're an FA; you don't FLY for
anybody.

I'm sure a sea change will be forthcoming in public attitudes thanks
to your "corrections."

Everybody flies; the pilot and co-pilot PILOT the plane.

Or at least only the pilot and copilot feel compelled to make this
specious distinction.

They are all in the plane; they are all flying. You may be confusing
flying with piloting. The piloting is handled by the FMS.
