We were in a 777 HEAVY and the plane shook like hell... Nothing happened, everyone was safe. When we got back to the terminal, I took a sharpie out of my bag and put a mark on the armrest of my seat. My business partner asked me whet I was doing... I told him they are not fixing right engine failure over night, if we get back on tomorrow and its the same plane, you're going by yourself... |

When we boarded our return flight and sat in the same seats, I noticed that the sharpie arrow was not there. I also noticed that the seat creaked whenever I moved, and the cabin LED lighting was a random mix of two different color temperatures. It looked like this plane was put together from spare parts, and the thing was creaking like a 1980's Chevy with a plastic interior as we did our taxi to the runway. On the takeoff roll, I thought for sure that the plane was going to fall apart in the middle of the runway! Having crossed flying on a Scarebus off my list, me thinks that my feet will remain on terra firma from now on.....

Plus, I'm not sure that one or both planes wasn't a seasonal loan/lease from an intertwined South American airline who also flies A319's, since the route that I was flying is only offered May-October. The emergency procedures cards were generic Airbus, with no airline branding. Don't know if that is common these days, but I always remember branded cards in the olden days. No big deal, since my next flight will be on a Boom Overture SST...if I live that long.....

No, it was not a normal color though, nasty green, and smelled like death, more than normal I should say. I also was timing my contractions for the arrival.

My friends birthday party awhile back? Well, she had a blue velvet cake made.
Went to the bathroom the next day to do my daily morning "drop the kids off at the pool." Almost had a heart attack, assumed I was dying. Never ate a blue fucking birthday cake or cupcake since, lol. |
