6. They Sugar Coat Messages From The Cabin
Captains are known for touching base with the passengers multiple times during the flight, usually to tell them how the weather is, the flight time, or what to be expecting. What’s shocking is how they will sugar coat the messages when problems occur. If an engine goes down, you won’t hear, “we’ve just lost an engine”, you’ll hear, “one of our engines is indicating improperly”; or, you might hear nothing at all. What’s surprising is, it’s actually common for planes to function properly with one fully working engine, so I guess there is nothing to be alarmed about? If you hear something like, “seems to be a bit of fog in the —- area” it means they can’t see anything.
