Now that airlines have started adding wheel locks to their drink carts, less than half of flights have one accidentally fall out through the hole.

    Wow, has it been that long since I last flew? We didn’t even have the hole, let alone the tail gunners. Once we’d hit an aircow or two we’d have swarms of them coming at us constantly, biting at the tail of the plane. Meanwhile the first set of pilots are being replaced because the lack of cow catcher just let them right in through the front windshield. Truly a terrible experience, 7/10 would fly again but only on sale.

    Everyone’s going for the gunner seats… An I the only one whose restless legs are excited to have the opportunity to pedal?

        Fully honest audit of my cycling abilities: we never left the ground in the first place

        Imagine a coast-to-coast red eye in the bumper car seats. Or a transatlantic flight. RIP anyone on a non-stop from Singapore to NYC. And that’s assuming there’s no turbulence…

          After about an hour, someone would figure out how to get the bumper cars out of the arena and there’d be a death match by the trash hole.
