Surviving Disaster

Linkat - the thing to do in such an emergency is to grab the pilot's headset and keep repeating "mayday, mayday" until you hear a reply. Frequency is whatever frequency the headset is tuned into. Many passengers have had to do this and were directed to safe landings by step-by-step instructions from air traffic controllers - no expertise needed, just keep plane in straight and level flight unless directed to do something different.

I was joking, Linkat. Who, other than a hijacker, would not need to know how to do a take-off?

That could be the ticket...thanks

I'll check the airlines to see. It isn't liquid so I guess as long as it can fit under my seat and does not have any sharp on it I should be golden.

I was too. (joking that is, of course - I have a very dry sense of humor if you haven't noticed -sometimes I take it too far).
