I can fasten my seat belt in a flash, Buy cocktails with expense account cash. Eat a meal from a plastic tray, or hear the pilot come on and say..... ....."We're expecting some turbulance....a little rough air...so we advise you to keep your seat belt fastened and not leave your chair. Be calm...there's really no cause for alarm...by the way, we're running a little behind today. We'll only be an hour or so late but you shouldn't have any trouble making your gate.
