You Know It's a 'No Frills' Airline When...

* They don't sell tickets, they sell chances.

* All the insurance machines in the terminal are sold out.

* Before the flight, the passengers get together and elect a pilot.

* You cannot board the plane unless you have the exact change.

* Before you took off, the stewardess tells you to fasten your Velcro.

* The Captain asks all the passengers to chip in a little for gas.

* When they pull the steps away, the plane starts rocking.

* The Captain yells at the ground crew to get the cows off the runway.

* You ask the Captain how often their planes crash and he sez, "Just once."

* No movie. Don't need one. Your life keeps flashing before your eyes.

* You see a man with a gun, but he's demanding to be let off the plane.

* All the planes have both a bathroom and a chapel.

In today's Dear Abby (not on her website yet), there is a story about an airplane laying over for an hour. One of the passengers was blind with a guide dog. The pilot asked if he would like to stretch his legs. He said no but his dog probably would. So the passengers were given the sight of the pilot wearing aviator glasses being lead by a guide dog.
