The
absurdity of flying.
38,000 feet
above sea level… eating miniature Christmas dinners and Chilean wine, served in
doll size, giant wine bottles.
Paper
liners for the toilet seats; individual and individualized personal TV screens
on the back of the passenger-in-front’s seat; throw-away headphones; throw-away
food and utensils; listening to “Armenia
City in the Sky”.
Turbulence.
The
elements could cause a catastrophic and explosive loss of life. Human error
could cause the same.
Are we
pushing the boundaries too much, expending great quantities of carbon in the
process, and not just the fuel consumption midair, but the complex chain of
manufacture making the flying machine airborne…
Smiles and
professional etiquette from the airline stewards and stewardesses.
Queues
outside the toilets. Toilet engaged sign on, toilet vacant sign on. Seat belt
switch sign on, seat belt switch sign off.
Boiled
sweets.
Sorry, all the chicken is finished, Madam.
Would you care for fish? Is that tea or coffee, Sir? With milk?
Turbulence.
