Salam Pemuka Pilot
AdemAir
Berikut cuplikan salam pembuka rutin
dari Kapten pesawat "AdemAir" sebelum tinggal landas dari Surabaya
dengan tujuan Manado:
"Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen."
This is your captain speaking. Welcoming both seated and standing
passengers on board of AdemAir. We apologize for the eight-days delay in
taking off, it was due to bad weather and some overtime I had to put in
at the bakery. This is flight 717 to Yogyakarta. Landing there is not
guaranteed, but we will end up somewhere in Central Java. And, if luck
is in our favor, we may even be landing on your village!
AdemAir has an excellent safety-record. In fact, our safety standards
are so high, that even terrorists are afraid to fly with us! It is with
pleasure; I announce that, starting this year, over 30% of our
passengers have reached their destination.
If our engines are too noisy for you, on passenger request, we can
arrange to turn them off! For our not-so-religious passengers, we are
the only airline who can help you find out if there really is a God!
We regret to inform you, that today's in-flight movie will not be shown
as we forgot to record it from the television. However, for our movie
buffs, we will be flying right next to Garuda Indonesia Airways, where
their movie will be visible from the right side of the cabin window.
There is no smoking allowed in this airplane. Any smoke you see in the
cabin is only the early warning system on the engines telling us to slow
down!
In order to catch important landmarks, we try to fly as close as
possible to the ground for the best view. If however, we go a little too
close, do let us know.
Our enthusiastic co-pilot sometimes flies right through the landmark!
Kindly be seated, keep your seat in an upright position for take-off and
fasten your seat-belt. For those of you who can't find a seat-belt,
kindly fasten your own belt to the arm of your seat. And, for those of
you who can't find a seat, do not hesitate to get in touch with a
stewardess who will explain how to fasten yourself to your suitcase."
Enjoy AdemAir!
