Standing ovation if you’re on a Boeing plane.
… clap if the plane lands
All planes land, some more controlled than others.
Take-offs are optional; landings are mandatory.
I would argue that the one that exploded over DC last month had almost certainly ceased to be a plane by the time it hit the ground.
Is a plane greater than the sum of its parts
Was on a flight a few months ago, and when we landed, no clapping - dead quiet. Out of the silence, I heard a, what must have been, six year old shout really loudly “WE DID IT!”.
that 6 year old clearly needs to learn the importance of silence. A commercial airliner deserves no praise, flights are no more special than train rides or bus rides.
I celebrate my bus rides and thank the driver every single ride. We need more positivity for everyone providing services we rely on.
