  1. Total was totaled. I wonder if it was a lithium ion battery in the cargo hold.

    I agree about brushing your hair. It should be done in the toilet room because loose hairs can end up everywhere including in other people’s food if it is done in the seating area. Better yet, don’t brush hair on an airplane.

    Finally, the WestJet flight attendant was out of line. The voice actress was perfectly calm and the flight attendant wasn’t. The voice actress should get monetary compensation for having to endure a hostile situation and the flight attendant needs to be retrained.

  2. Regarding that 737-400, guessing that this is one of those times where the ‘ol standby “That’ll buff right out” just isn’t going to work…

  3. That flight attendant was pretty patient with the guy. He used bad language, argued, and was generally unpleasant and confrontational, albeit in a somewhat passive-aggressive sort of way. On top of that he recorded her which was kind of a weasel move as well unless she knew about it and agreed to be recorded. In short his credibility is shot.
