35 Secrets the pilot will not tell you!

Interesting article.

"It?s one thing if the pilot puts the seat belt sign on for the passengers. But if he tells the flight attendants to sit down, you?d better listen. That means there?s some serious turbulence ahead."

?If you?re a nervous flier, book a morning flight. The heating of the ground later causes bumpier air, and it?s much more likely to thunderstorm in the afternoon.?

?We don?t make you stow your laptop because we?re worried about electronic interference. It?s about having a projectile on your lap. I don?t know about you, but I don?t want to get hit in the head by a MacBook going 200 miles per hour.?

?People don?t understand why they can?t use their cell phones. Well, what can happen is 12 people will decide to call someone just before landing, and I can get a false reading on my instruments saying that we are higher than we really are.?

?We miss the peanuts too.?
