Ever wonder what flight attendants really think about passengers, celebrities, and each other? Shawn and G pull back the curtain on the aviation industry with stories that will make you laugh, cringe, and maybe think twice about your next flight.
The episode kicks off with Shawn's passionate account of basketball playoffs and his normally calm pilot wife's surprising transformation into an intense superfan during Indiana Pacers games. Their casual conversation quickly shifts to the nitty-gritty of airline life when Shawn recounts a recent flight where a passenger unexpectedly projectile vomited throughout an entire row, creating a crisis that tested both his crisis management skills and patience with panicked passengers.
From there, the hosts dive into the complex dynamics of working with problematic flight attendants, discussing the unspoken "code of silence" that exists within the industry. They draw a clear line between tolerating personality differences and confronting dangerous rule violations like vaping on aircraft. This segment offers listeners a fascinating glimpse into workplace politics at 30,000 feet and the challenges of managing interpersonal conflicts in a confined space.
Perhaps most revealing is their candid discussion about the alarming trend of flight attendants using Ozempic and similar medications for weight loss. The hosts express genuine concern as they describe colleagues who've transformed from healthy to dangerously thin, facing serious side effects like hair loss in pursuit of an idealized appearance. The conversation expands to include other aviation news, including Pan Am's surprising comeback as a luxury tour service with an eye-watering $65,000 price tag and updates on the Air India crash investigation.
