Aviation Humor - Working For An Airline...

[Smudger98]

"I see that you work for the airlines. What do you do? Are you a mechanic?"

"Well, no. I empty the honey buckets. I operate the equipment that removes human waste from incoming aircraft."

"You must get paid plenty to do a job like that."

"Are you kidding? I don't get paid jack."

"Well, at least the benefits must be good."

"Benefits? There aren't any. We have to buy our own medical insurance. Our retirement plan has been terminated. I only get one space-available pass per year for me and my family, and when we try to fly somewhere during my vacation, we always get bumped. The benefits stink."

"So why don't you quit and get a better job somewhere else?"

"What? Leave aviation?"

Reminds me of days gone by at RAF Sharjah in the Gulf. A Beverley would land and disgorge it's passengers and a few minutes later, in the merciless noonday sun, a couple of erks would appear carrying the toilet buckets followed by a swarm of flies.

The very same chaps. I did many trips on the Bev. Sometimes there would only be a couple of us and we would run up and down the pax compartment. After a few minutes one of the crew would come back to tell us off as the captain had trouble keeping trim.
