a little story ...I wish she would knock ...

[robirob]

Almost lost my c6 pilot after some 70hrs flying time.

Started with the Bush scenario.. min cash , all difficulties at maximum and till now could only afford single eng jets
where there are no FA's on board.

Finally saved the $12 million for a dehavilland dash , loaded the 40 PAX on board and for the 1st time enjoyed listening
to my sexy hostess giving pre flight announcements etc... auto seat belt and so forth.

About 1/2 an hour into the flight there is this loud noise which scared the dickens out of me.. thought the outer door had blown off or
something at 12000 feet., accidentally hit the keyboard which disconected the AP and sent thew plane into a dive.

It was only the hostess bringing me some cofee, (which I didn't ask for by the way) and the opening door sound was so unexpected (and
loud).

Can't wait for all the other dialogue, I have read that she comes out with some real classics
I know that I could cheat and play all the sounds from the folder with sound recorder, but don't want to spoil it

Been there, done that, got the T-shirt.

LOL Yeah that noise at first takes some getting used to. You think Oh **** something blew, when in fact its a bombshell stewardess
bringing you coffee or drink. Of course I very much appreciate coffee

That's why I recommended this system: http://www.fspassengers.com/forum/showth...hp?tid=393

That way, she'd never be uninvited! After all, you're running the show! It's your aircraft!

My favorite is as follows: Ladies and gentlemen, we appologize for the flight but it appears that the captain is drunk, stupid, or both.

Yeah we all experience this and nearly need a change of underwear as far as I know. As per your title however, just think if you heard a loud knocking
sound followed by the sound of the door opening, that would've scared ya even more

[robirob]

I must have inadvertantly said something to her when she scared me the 1st time

Now she has the sulks and refuses to serve anything to the PAX during flight, although she still brings me coffee and drinks several times

Since I switched service to AUTO I haven't made a red cent... ie no sevice.
I've done several flights of about 2hrs which on manual service was just enough time for a movie, Hot meal , drinks etc.

Now she doesn't even give a sandwich or drink to increase PAX satisfaction, hence less points at end of flight.

I wonder how it was progarmmed for AUTO service ... does one have to do a trans atlantic flight or something. ??
I do set time of arrival so the program should know the length

I know that in 2 Hrs the PAx probably wont starve, but still.... a little snack maybe

Detecting when servicing must start is very difficult, every flight profile is different
I'll try to ameliorate that for the next version but as said it's really tricky.

better stay on manuall for yet...
