“Flight of Passage”

A Swedish pilot was removed from an Amsterdam plane for having flown for 13 years with a fake license. The airline was outraged at the long deception, but then thrilled to back-charge the pilot for every past flight, suitcases, blankets, and headphones.

Oddly, the passengers felt less safe once there was no pilot to fly the plane.

Luckliy, the airline had a replacement pilot, passenger Ted Striker.

The “pilot” had logged 10,000 hours of flying over 13 years, but officials became suspicious of his credentials because he was never stuck-up or drunk.

Before being removed from the plane, the pilot said over the P.A. system:

“Attention passengers. This is the captain speaking. Welcome aboard. Before we take off, take a look out your window on either side of the plane, so you won’t see me arrested, hand-cuffed, and carted off to jail. Enjoy your flight.”

The pilot may face a fine of thousands of dollars, or 90 trillion sky-miles.
