BOB Behaving Badly

2026-09-2923:09

When the hot passenger on board becomes a disruptive passenger! We're back with another passenger behaving badly story today and we loved the twist at the end! When the crew member who donated this story told us what happened, we knew we had to tell it - but would have to use the censor bleep button quite a lot.

A single plane can hold honeymooners, stag and hen dos, families, dream vacationers, people moving to a different country, pilgrims, and business travellers.

September Blog - A Humiliating Landing Day Disaster

2026-09-0110:22

Landing Days are sketchy for Cabin Crew. There's a good chance you'll pull into the motorway services for a 20 minute power nap and wake up 8 hours later with a security guard banging on your window checking you're still alive. You feel like death warmed up, shouldn't make important decisions and most definitely shouldn't attempt anything vaguely complicated. Like reversing a car. Poor Susan spills the beans of her humiliating mistake in public on landing day. Based on a true story. Totally n...
