there's gotta be a snake in here somewhere.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | August 30, 2006 at 07:19 PM
...at no time had the plane or passengers been in danger.
Yeah, right. If missing a pilot isn't dangerous, why do they make the money they do? I suspect pilots really do serve some purpose, after all, airlines may not be too bright, but they ain't stupid.
er sumpthin'

I didn't even know I owned an airline.
Posted by: Jazzzz | August 30, 2006 at 07:34 PM
I was wondering about that.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | August 30, 2006 at 07:36 PM
Thereby making the pilot a member of the mile-cry club.

jeez!
i am not enamored with air travel in the first place. yeah yeah i know it's faster cheaper etc etc than driving in all but a very minimun of circumstances but i just don't like to fly. thanks to a wonderful invention called beer i can tolerate the experience.
a few more stories like this one and the unbelievable series of errors that led to the recent crash (warning-NOT funny) in Lexington KY i think i'll take my chances on the highway

for some reson I keep seeing Clouseau " Open the doer you fewel!" and then doing a little soft-shoe when the passengers stair.
Posted by: mudstuffin | August 30, 2006 at 08:34 PM
So let me get this straight, this is a story about a plane. And there's no venomous snakes on this plane? OK, I just wanted to be sure.
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | August 30, 2006 at 08:38 PM
Not only does this not have snakes, it also involves toilets that remain relatively intact.

I'm with Schadeboy!

“Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your co-pilot speaking. Has anyone seen the extra key to the cockpit?”
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | August 30, 2006 at 09:14 PM
That's what happens when you fly Jazz Airlines....the door was jammin'.

If only CNN had broadcast his pee break, he could have called for help sooner.
Posted by: Stevie W | August 30, 2006 at 10:04 PM
Of course this could all be due to Pilot error. Sometimes The Pilot is at fault.
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | August 30, 2006 at 10:37 PM
Unlike our lovable CBC, CNN doesn't mention it, it was the co-pilot joining the mile-high club with a flight attendant.
Posted by: jec666 | August 30, 2006 at 10:41 PM
Yeah, sometimes the news doesn’t tell the whole story. It only takes small mistakes to bring the whole airline down.
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | August 30, 2006 at 11:36 PM
There are now two thing I don't understand about commercial airliners. The first was why either the pilot or copilot doesn't have an ejection seat so that in the event of something catastrophic, he might be able to eject, survive, and tell us exactly what went wrong. The second is why the pilot and copilot don't have their own bathroom. It's bad for a passenger when you think it's your turn (finally) and Mr. Pilot sweeps out the cockpit door and into the bathroom with the cockpit copy of The Wall Street Journal.
Posted by: Brad | August 31, 2006 at 03:06 AM
Never mind the pilot, I think we should all have ejection seats, and we should fly with the top down for quicker deployment.

change the title to "Pilot goes to drain the snake, finds himself S.O.L."
Posted by: Chaz | August 31, 2006 at 08:28 AM
panic in the cabin? i prefer panic! at the disco.
Posted by: crossgirl | August 31, 2006 at 09:01 AM
If they don't have room to put an entire bathroom in the cockpit, at least they could install a little ... um, cock pit or something.
