What If Someone Dies On Board? Flight Attendant Reveals Airplane Secrets | Honesty Box
Ойын-сауық
In this episode of Honesty Box, we sat down with the lovely Mandy Smith, former cabin crew for Virgin Atlantic, and author of Cabin Fever: The Sizzling Secrets of a Virgin Air Hostess.' Mandy answers your questions on airline food, the infamous 'mile high club', whether turbulence is dangerous, and reveals why co-pilots aren't allowed to eat the same food.

A family member was going through a very rough time a few years back, and is also mildly claustrophobic. He's never been a nervous flyer, though, and in fact holds a pilot's license. Anyway, it all came to a head and he ended up suffering a full-blown anxiety attack on a plane as it was taxiing for takeoff. He jumped out of his seat and bolted for the door. A flight attendant immediately recognized the situation and knew that ordering him back to his seat would do no good; he was in fight-or-flight mode. Instead, she allowed him to remain in the galley where he had some space, and calmly talked him through some breathing exercises until he was able to return to his seat. The flight was not delayed. He was able to make it through the flight without further incident (she checked on him often) and has been able to tame his anxiety with some ongoing work. We're both very grateful for this superb flight attendant who, using a little training and a whole lot of empathy, was able to so gracefully handle a humiliating and potentially dangerous situation.
I love how she said if it was a nighttime flight and they were discreet she wouldn’t disturb them 😂😂 I like her personality!
30 yr FA for AA. I was the Purser (Inflight manager) on an overnight flight to LHR. Got a call that 2 passengers had snuck into the back restroom. We listened at the door & quickly knew what they were engaged in. We grabbed a piece of paper & made a “Welcome to the mile high club” certificate & about six of the crew all gathered around the lavatory door waiting patiently. The door unlocked and the young lady stepped out. The crew whooped and cheered stating loudly “Welcome to Mile the Club”! Loud enough the entire back of Economy class all turned to see what was going on. The cheering continued until the male came out & the both of them slinking back to their seats in very bright shades of red. We must always be in constant supervision of the cabin & lavs so the chance of not getting caught will be slim to none.

I have the deepest respect for flight attendants in modern times. The amount of difficult people they have to deal with, I could not do that. She is so calm and warm, a perfect personality for that difficult job. ❤
I was double booked (same seat number) as another passenger on Virgin JNB-LHR. I was seated first, and she complained, LOUDLY. The flight attendant asked if she really insisted on that seat, she demanded yes, so the FA upgraded me to Upper Class.
Such a classy, well-spoken, and gracious professional lady, who’s obviously hardworking and certainly seems caring (not to mention she’s likely got the patience of Job as a member of flight crew)! A joy to behold.
She is so incredibly likeable! Love her personality.

The crash she is referring to is that of Birgenair Flight 301 which occurred on the 7th of February 1996 and was the joint-deadliest aviation incident involving a Boeing 757 (along with American Airlines Flight 77) having a total of 189 fatalities. Furthermore, Flight 301 is the deadliest aviation accident ever to have occurred in the Dominican Republic. It was caused by erroneous airspeed readings. There was evidence that some of the recovered bodies had been 'mangled' by sharks and life rafts were found floating in the area. But obviously no one knows how many of them had survived and were subsequently eaten or attacked by the sharks. "All 189 people on board a Boeing 757 charter plane - most of them German tourists heading home from two weeks of tropical sunshine - were killed yesterday when their aircraft crashed into the Caribbean minutes after taking off from Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic." "US Coast Guard vessels joined the rescue effort before dawn yesterday. Officers said they and the Dominican navy had picked up 40 bodies by afternoon, some of them injured by sharks. Dominican officials said there was little hope that anyone survived. The Coast Guard said schools of circling sharks made it too dangerous to use divers. The aircraft apparently sank quickly but reports of empty life rafts floating among the debris suggested some passengers may have escaped from the wreckage, only to be blown towards the sharks by stormy winds and eight foot waves."
Much love to her for keeping it classy and being very emphatic, plus educating us. Furthermore, much love to all the cabin crew up there taking care of us while traveling ❤
I love this interview format
I heard that "altitude changes tastebuds" explanation so often... But A), I've been to altitudes of close to 6000m, and stuff still tasted fine, and B) I brought plenty of my own food on planes and even a cheap ass sandwich is normally tastier than the crap which is in those trays...

Same here. I did not want to make a comment about that part of the interview but I am shocked in this modern day someone would try that.
I was asked to sit next to a Bangladeshi because no one else wanted to. I sat next to him from Philippines to Canada. He was a great education to me, Very well clued up with great ideas. The time "flew"
I was boarding a flight to Spain and the captain was at the aircraft door greeting us passengers. When my ex realised the pilot was a woman he tried to convince me to leave the flight. He actually visibly paled when he cottoned on. He was an uptight nightmare the WHOLE flight which further peed me off as I’m a nervous flyer. I dumped him but had to stay in the booked apartment with him for the whole week 🤦🏻♀️. And some men wonder why we still feel a bit picked on and singled out.

So once every few months only on big aircrafts that fly long haul. It's not that often! (unless you combine all flights in the world then it must be a hundred times a day or more probably lol)

Only one thing I know not true for many airlines (according to VPs who make the rules not just not cabin crew like this lady): upgrades will go to commercial passengers first not standby staff - especially if they have rewards members, they want frequent flyers to a) have a really good experience and spread the word that the rewards schemes are worth it and b) let frequent flyers experience the higher cabins so they get a taste for it and might book it next time. Emirates always upgrades skywards members when they can. Dressing smart and being nice (not demanding) is a must though.
@katywelsh2447
21 күн бұрын
From personal experience, it's actually the pilots who decide who gets what seat! At least with the airlines I've travelled on. It's the Captain's decision at the end of the day - he decides who gets what upgrade/seat depending on who's listed to fly. Companies obviously want to publicise the fact that they prioritise their frequent fliers (to incentivise people to buy), but staff travel actually comes first most of the time. Emirates might be different, but the UK airlines I'm familiar with prioritise staff travel (especially if the passenger is travelling with a crew member).

One thing she said that is wrong, statistically if you look at historical data on crashes, the further back in the plane you sit the more likely you are to survive in a crash. The seats over the wings are less effected by turbulence, but sitting closest to the huge wings full of fuel isn't ideal for survivability during a crash.

I know a lot of people have a fear of flying, but I always look forward to it and love the whole airport and flight experience. Maybe that’s because I don’t travel often for it to become tedious!
as a cabin crew myself im so happy she’s explaining all of these things, can stop people being so difficult when its time to secure when they know why we ask them to do certain things

13:20 airplane mode. She's right on most things, but wrong on this one. The ILS beacon is in a different frequency range. There are international laws and agreements on what frequency bands are used by telecom and other users, specifically to prevent what she's claiming. It does, however, quickly drain your battery because your phone keeps trying to connect to cell towers that aren't there. If something so dramatic as losing an ILS signal could happen, phones would be permanently banned on board.

It's to avoid the fairly small risk of interference with any of the airplanes electronics. If they did not insist on flight mode the airplane electronics would have to be designed, tested and regularly re-certified compatible with full strength mobile/cellular phone signals. Some commercial planes flying today were built before cell phones even existed.

The statistics say over 80% of people survive aviation accidents but that statistic does not specify accidents into categories like only including those that were a total hull loss vs things like a bird strike, uncontained fan failures, fuel exhausted, etc. where there was repairable damage and maybe some nail biting moments but still finished with a runway landing. Even a total hull loss has had large numbers of survivors such as US Airways ditching in the Hudson river in NY where everyone survived with only a few minor injuries even though the aircraft was a write-off.
It doesn't happen that often... maybe 1 out of 30 flights.. and here I am, a former airline employee who always thought that kind of stuff doesn't happen anymore since 9/11.

I can't find any information on any airlines incidents involving ditching that resulted in anyone being eaten by sharks. The closest I've come is ALM Flight 980 which crashed in shark-infested waters, but no source claims that any of the 23 fatalities were shark-related. I would be interested if anyone else could provide information, because that sounds wild to me. Further, the airplane mode claim has been debunked so many times it's almost getting boring. I'm sure she's told so many passengers by now that she truly believes it. I suppose it's not harming anybody.

About the radio signals. The ILS frequency ranges from 108 to 112 MHz. There is nothing in the cellphone with that capability. 2.4 GHz or 5GHz for wireless, 800 MHz, 1200, etc for mobile network. Nothing on 108 to 112.
She’s fabulous. So bubbly and I learned so much!
I acc love her 😭
The fuselage is not sheet metal. It is either high strength aluminum alloys, carbon fiber, or both.

Interesting in the protocol change if someone dies on board. My mother-in-law died on a non-stop from HNL to JFK back in the 90's (just went in the bathroom and never came out). Since she died they left her there and locked the bathroom.. an FA sat with with my father-in-law the whole time. They asked him if he wanted to divert to Chicago and de-plane and he turned them down - I think he just wanted to get home. The FA's sent a condolance card. These days, I wouldnt be surprised if they pulled the deceased out of the lavatory just to keep it available.
Getting upgraded is simple. Just make sure you’re one of the last to board 😂 Has worked for me 50% of the time That’s a good success rate 😏

Airoplane mode !. I have noticed that some passagers don't seem to care and others just don't understand English ... and to my surprise no flight attendant paying any attention !!!. I'm in Australia which is a wonderful well organised country !.
I'd be honoured to fly with her in the future. Really great people person.
always thought "blinds up" is so first responders actually can look inside in case of a big mishap... anyway, thanks for the great insights!
Can you say "PRO"? One classy professional lady! I've always liked Sir Branson and Virgin and now I like them even more.

So you agree with her insane belief that pilots should be hired based on sex rather than on ability? Not classy nor professional, woke is the term.
My wife, who is much more seasoned than me when it comes to air travel, has a conspiracy theory regarding the brace position. Somebody once told her that people are told to adopt the brace position as your neck will snap quicker if the plane crashes. What creeps me out about that is that somebody said that to her as a child. She used to fly a lot as an ‘un accompanied minor’ with her dad working all over the world on civil engineering projects.
lol at her explanation of turbulence 😅
I personally know a virgin pilot. He has confirmed multiple times that the food is in fact shit.

Yeh but what can they do? Install a full kitchen, gas oven, plumbing and all? Any food that has to be prepped, frozen and sealed won't taste great. It's not like you have to eat it for your 2 week holiday.

What a lovely and wise person
@13:28 this makes no sense... if you have your phone in airplane mode. All the signals coming off the cell tower and still going straight through the plane and straight through your phone. Your phone just isn't listening the signals now. This would be like me telling you to close your eyes, that way you can walk out a 5 story window, since you don't see the ground, you will just float on the air.
Loved the video. Very informative. Very professional lady
my dad worked for the air lines and hey would up grade us to first class all the time as kids and my daughter when she got older too. continental to united but we did always have to dress a certain way when flying on his stand-by

No…it doesn’t happen often…maybe once every 20/30 flights…that’s pretty often I’d say 😂😂
i witnessed that exact upgrade (18:40) on a flight home from san francisco. The cabin crew ignored the racist passenger for the whole flight. 🤣🤣

My experience of airplane food is mostly positive, not blown away but not bad either
The bland food is not because of taste buds underperforming, it's actually the olfactory cells in the nose underperforming. We mostly smell food, not taste it.
I love her she’s so cute and sweet 🥰🥰🥰
May I recommend this to 47 gear? Kelsey is really hilarious with this stuff😂

I personally wouldn't call an overt sexist nice.
Also, people who sit in exit rows are usually travelling on their own, as they don't have any dependants in an emergency.
I would fly any time with you. I fly a lot and I am always amazed how rude people are towards the flight crew.

How do you manage flight anxiety? You fly so much so perhaps you have found a way. Is it Xanax that you take or other sleep medicine? Or alcohol?

@@dreamthedream8929 My daughter can get airsick so I make sure she takes a tablet at least 1 hour before take off. I may get a bit nervous if we hit bad turbulence and listening to music works for me. Best thing to do is google what solutions people use. I know you can do a training course for nervous fliers. I have no idea if Xanax or the likes helps.
Her description of turbulence was ….. 😂
Funny how waiting tables is a uni job in the UK and a true métier in many other places.
I don’t think the taste bud theory is efficient enough for how bad the food is. It just is bad and low quality…prison food basically.
Imagine surviving a plane crash only just to be eaten by sharks straight after 🤣
