Anyone ever fly on Air Asia flight within Thailand? Love to see the Israelis and Chinese compete for who is more rude and obnoxious. As soon as they hit the ground everyone is taking down their bags and standing in the aisles. On the positive side, the planes board and deplane in under 5 minutes
Truth.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Every plane that lands in TLV has people standing and on the phone way before other places. Its an amazing thing.
not every plane has people clapping when it lands either.......when the show finishes you clap and leave :D

Chinese in the West are very different than Chinese in China.

On a side note, an Israeli drive was once driving on a London highway, and got pi$$ed that everyone was calm. So he thinks to himself 'let me see if I can work these British up'. So he starts speeding, swerving between lanes, etc. Suddenly someone starts racing and cursing him. Surprised for a moment, he quickly realizes the entire exchange was in Hebrew.
which reminds me of that other Israeli driver will decided to test the British patience, so he stops by a red light and pulls out a newspaper and starts reading, the light turns green then red again and green again, the line behind him grows and still not even a honk. After a few cycles of red lights he's about to give up when he notices in the mirror that the guy in the car behind him is opening his door. The Israeli driver is all proud of himself and braces himself for a stream of British swear words. The driver gets closer and traps on the Israelis window, the Israeli opens with a defiant smile only to hear "pardon me, but can I please borrow that paper when you're done?"

I was on my way from FLL to JFK and we had to circle for about an hour because Air Force One was either taking off or landing (dont remember exactly)
The pilot was really dumb on that flight, he gets on and says "sorry we have to circle bec of AFO. We only have about an hour left of fuel, but we should be ok"
 
You should have seen everyones faces when he said that!

Beginning of the flight captain gets on the speaker and says I got a hot date in NY tonight so sit down and buckle up cuz this is going to be a fast ride. There was no wait time between take off or landing and getting from/to the gates.

A few years ago I flew on super bowl night, you can imagine the flight was relatively empty. The captain kept making announcements every 20 mi or so giving updates on the game.

Read a long time ago in the Hamodia from the guy who does the KSML in ZRH, that he had approached SwissAir (predecessor to SWISS), that he is willing to give a lecture to the FA about the Jewish pax. They said, why do they need it, they have such a % of Muslims, % of this etc. and only a small % of Jews, so why the need of a special class on this matter. He said, let me challenge the FAs to a simple question, and he asks them, whats the flight number to NY? nobody knows, DEL? nobody, BOM? nobody, PVG? again, quiet. Then he pops the million dollar Q, "and whats the flight # to TLV? whoooooo, everyone says LX 256/257.... he asks why does everyone knows this number by heart, when all others no-one knows? they answer him, that when Swiss wants to punish a crew member, they assign them on this route......
IIRC This guy gives lectures to companies on Jewish/frum  culture.

Had a similar story where captain got on and announced that there was inclement weather (this was into Cleveland) so we will have to circle and possibly divert to PIT but we still have one hour worth of fuel... After about 30 minutes in the air he gets on and says that one plane has already landed and we will be giving it a shot...

An Israeli cuts the line and sticks it to you, a Chinese at least tries to hide it.
You've clearly never had a Chinese slide in underneath you in to a subway seat. Every. Damn. Day.

When I flew on LY (when? Never, and hope never), I went into the galley and started to play around, packing out all the containers, and the FA run over, 'stop, get out of here, you're not allowed etc', I answered, I was greeted here onboard lאלעל, הכי בבית בעולם' and this is what I do in my home......

If you have a good friend that you want to sit next to?

Not so crazy.
I got upgraded while flying with a friend on AA LAX - MIA lie flat. So I took it and offered him half way the seat but he wanted to stay in his exit seat! (prob bec he knew I was offering just to be nice :))
