Here is another one of my confessions: I hate flying. This statement though does not mean that I don’t like to travel. I love going to new countries and exploring different cultures and ways of life. I look forward to our annual vacation every year! I love to travel! It’s the airplane bit that gets me every single time.
On the last trip we went on, I had to change three different planes to get to the destination. That means three takeoffs and three landings, and that experience was something I wouldn’t want to do again. I had the passenger sitting beside me ask the flight attendant for a candy for me so that I would calm down each time there was a little bit of turbulence. Embarrassing? I think so!
Despite my behavior on an airplane, the crew members have always been so kind and accommodating. They’re quick to bring me water or tell me that we’re going to be ok. I even had one of them come by and tell me that there’s less than an hour left on the plane ride to our destination and that I almost made it! It’s nice to see them care so much for their passengers. Of course, it’s their job to be kind and compassionate but there are some attendants who just really enjoy their job and you can just tell. A perfect example of someone like this is Marty Cobb.
I think Marty is now a local celebrity. She is a flight attendant for Southwest Airlines who knows how to put a smile on all the passengers’ faces. Well, more than just smiles — she has everyone splitting with laughter in their seats! So, what is she doing that’s so hilarious? Nothing more than just giving her everyday safety tutorial and instructions. It’s a part of your flight itinerary every single time and this speech can be a drag. I can tell that a lot of people are usually talking over the flight attendant during this brief period of instructions and emergency information. But, it’s a very important part of your flight to tune into.
So, Marty found a creative way to have everyone listen in to her. She adds comedy to each of her speeches and people now look forward to the safety instructions right before the flight — especially when they recognize Marty on the flight!
She has everyone in stitches!
