Hajjis From Hell
This story comes from a flight attendant from the website:http://www.totr.com/story/ .. Totally off the record... Anyone in the third world end of flying probably at one time or another has had to fly the Hajjis into Saudi Arabia so they can attend the pilgrimage to Mecca, that is the one thing a devout Muslim must perform before he dies. Flight crews are subject to the most interesting of sights when they are sub-contracted to move literally millions in and out of the Arabian penninsula in just a few short weeks. They would pick them up in east African locations and fly them into Saudi Arabia in large planes that were stripped down to the bare minimum. The passengers would actually be schooled before the flight on how to sit in the seat, use the lav. etc.... Unfortunately these were the masses that had no idea about any of this and while in flight would do the following....stand up on their seat and then proceed to squat and go on their seat, cook their meals over sterno on the floor and bring every manner of vermin on board with them. By the time the flights were going the crews were forced to wear flea collars around their ankles to keep the bugs from eating them alive. Keeping the airplanes stripped down to the bare neccessities ensured that the T.V. screens in the newer planes would remain on board at all times. In other words the passengers would start to remove the screens and wiring in each seat as they assumed it was theirs to take and it would work off the plane. The flight attendents would be spit on, punched or kicked by the female passengers as they were women working. Oh the good old days of aviation...lol Posted by: Gleretch Whinerong4794 2007-01-03 |
