Thinking of a fun novelty book with a good cartoonist with a warped sense of humour to be sold in airport lounges. Ideas anyone? Know of a cartoonist?

Here goes:-

BOAC Better on a camel - Blast off and crash - Bought on American credit

DAN AIR Dangerous and nearly always incredibly rough

QANTAS Queers and nymphomaniacs trained as stewards - Queer

attendants nasty take another service

LUFTHANSA Let us fiddle the hostess and not say anything

CTA Could take ages

PIA Please inform Allah

AA Always awful

THY They hate you

VIRGIN Very interesting ride going into nymphos

TWA Totally wasted airline

JAL Journey always late



TAP Take a parachute

SAS Sex and satisfaction

TWA That was awful

LOT Lots of trouble

SIA Sex in air

PAN AM Passengers always need a mortician

ALITALIA Always late in transit, always late in arrival



Understand the drift? Contributions please!

The two I remember most vivid were from my days in Belize:



TACA - Take a C**n Anywhere



and



TANA - Take a Ni**er Anywhere



To see these two rival airlines landing from either end of the runway and trying to beat each other to the off ramp was a sight you would never forget - never flew with them, proof is I am still here!



Anyone remember what the Falklands Islands Airline was called????

oh tottie you are well travelled. You know I was a stewardess for 12 years with bxxxxy awful and it was always a competion betweeen other airlines. Sad really as you all know we are not just trolley dollies but trained to save lives. I must say though I always wished I worked for British Caledion I loved thier uniform. Hated Gulf Airs loved singapores. I ate with a passion easy jets uniform but I do like Ryan Airs. What would Brin say about CTA. xxxxx

Lilli, airplanes and airlines are a little hobby of mine and im a member of an aviation fourm and they pop up on it alot.



I also strongly agree with you comment about being classed trolly dollies and am very awear of the brave stories told by "flight attendents" in emergency situations.
