Commercial Airliners should hire Pirates to fly their
planes. Security would no longer be an issue, because
no
one messes with Pirates.
Also the messages heard overhead upon departure,
during times of turbulence, and upon landing, would be
awesome.
I can hear it now. Parrot coos in
the background,
optional.
Would you purchase your ticket in this manner?

In the stack, on spotting an aeroplane belonging to a rival carrier: Tis the enemy abaft the beam! Shall we ram er, Mister Pugh, or shall we open thar atches and drop thar steerage passengers' trunks on em from aloft? Naw Mister Riley, us'n dun want to risk ur precious cargo, us'll get a rare price for all they lubbers at slave-market. And thers no trunks left, ye dumped the lot o em over Stanstead. |

I think we can expect to hear from a pirate soon,
complaining about the misrendering of their
traditional language (Somali, I believe). |
|
|
Unlucky day to be posting an airliner idea... |
|
|
As long as the stewardess doesn't ask you to walk the plank instead of saying bye bye, bye bye, bye.... |

I would get the pilot without an eye and with a hook.
Glad this isn't about helicopter pilots, who need all four limbs to fly. |

We thought the primary requirement was a helicopter ... you mean they've just been fooling everyone all these years ? |

Should I delete this, given the circumstances of the
day, that I innocently had not heard of yet, of course. |
|
|
+ even in face of tragedy, this post was from an honest
heart! I also suggest the (female) attendants dress
accordingly with lots of cleavage and flouncy dresses! |

// Should I delete this // |

|
Absolutely not. It's just the long, hairy, dirty-
fingernailed arm of coincidence at work. |
|
|
Keep. I seem to be in a timezone that gets the news first. |
|
|
Now I feel like keeping, in memory of. |
|
|
So, would the airships have laser gun, like Boeing YAL-1? (link) |
|
|
No, Pirates use swords. Not much help sometimes.
Could toss a parrot or two at their enemies. That
might work. |
|
|
Of course not - broadside-mounted 12-pdr muzzle loading cannon would be the things to use. |
|
|
Hmm. yes sir, you are most correct. That would be
better. And you could use the parrots as ammo. Uh oh,
feathers everywhere. Boom! |
|
|
And grappling hooks! Prepare to board the enemy vessel! |
|
|
You know, when I saw the title I was kind of expecting something about illegal copies of the first episode of Serenity (or what have you). |
|
|
Wrong kind of pilot, obviously. |
|
|
Still, gotta say, like it [+]. |
|
|
Might not the airlines in question find it a bit difficult finding willing insurance providers though? |

Is it just me, or does anyone else have visions from the supporting feature (of 'The Meaning of Life')? |
