The Red Eye

Cabin Crew often play a game on board the aircraft - who is the hottest passenger? More commonly known as "Best On Board" or B.O.B. It helps us pass the time away through long flights or multiple sectors. You could have been awarded the Best on Board prize without even knowing it!

But what happens when the connection feels strong with a B.O.B? Should a crew member ever try to date a passenger? Or is that crossing a line?

Hear the true story of one crew member's experience with a B.O.B, turned into a short rom com style audio story for The Red Eye.

Cabin Crew who become parents often take an extended leave to spend time with their babies before they leave them for the skies once more. And if you have children soon after each other you can sometimes end up with years on the ground.

When you finally get back in the skies it can be a little overwhelming! But you're often grateful for the rest in a hotel, a hot bath with no disruptions and a full night sleep. Feeling like yourself again!

That is, until you end up on the mother of all flights, with everything going wrong that possibly could! Then you could end up asking yourself - are kids easier than passengers?!

Listen to this true story of a mother who returns to the skies, only to find out that 2 children under the age of 3 are easier than a planeful of adult passengers!

Alone in a new city, is it inviting danger?

Visiting a new destination is exciting for cabin crew, we can often grow tired of flying to the same cities over and over again. And whilst those cities can provide a familiarity that is comforting, it feels like an adventure when you get to experience somewhere new. But sometimes we take the air of familiarity with us into situation where we should probably be a little more guarded.

In today's episode of The Red Eye podcast, we hear the true story of a crew member that flew to Manila and was excited to explore. But he made a few choices that led him to fearing for his life, and dealing with the trauma afterwards.

If you like real life stories, turned into a half hour fictional style audiobook, then listen to this latest episode of The Red Eye.

Have you ever had to deal with something you're absolutely not trained for?

When you're 38,000ft in the air, the cabin crew member is the one person everyone turns to to deal with an issue. Most of the time we're trained for it! Fire in the cabin? We trained for that! Violent passenger? We trained for that! Medical emergency? We trained for that! Mental health emergency? Oh boy... not really trained for that!

People from all walks of life board that plane, so once in a while the crew are expected to deal with a situation that they're not fully trained for. But as they are usually the type of person who just wants to help, no matter what, they will jump on in and hope they do the right thing.

In today's episode of The Red Eye podcast, we tell the stories of the true events that happened to our host and producer, Ally. Who happened to be the person left to deal with 2 separate mental health crises, and wasn't the type of person who would turn her back just because they aren't completely sure what to do.

When European airspace shut down in April 2010, the aviation industry largely just accepted it because standard procedures told us that is what happens when a volcano erupts and spits ash into the air. Planes can't fly through ash. Of course!

But, like most Standard Operating Procedures in the airline industry, there was an incident that occured that showed us why we need that procedure in place.

Well, back in 1982, British Airways Flight 9 from Kuala Lumpur to Perth got caught out when the Mount Galunggung volcano in Indonesia erupted, spewing ash into the air. But no one had experienced the effects of volcanic ash in jet engines - and we learnt pretty swiftly that it was not good. 

All four engines stopped, effectively turning the Boeing 747 into a glider. Thankfully, the pilots and engineers skills, training and persistence in the face of danger meant that once the aircraft had descended to 12,000ft they were able to restart the engines and land with 3 working ones. After a few days of investgation it was determined that the the tips of the turbine blades had been ground away by the volcanic ash, that had clogged the engines at 37,000ft and had only restarted when enough of the molten ash solidified and broke off at the lower level.

In today's episode of The Red Eye podcast, we tell this story from the point of view of the pilots, crew and passengers, in this 30 minute audiobook style story, based on the true events of the Original Ash Cloud incident.

Galley FM is where we hear all the juiciest gossip as Cabin Crew, it's usually listened to at 4am when we're sat in our jumpseats trying to stay awake on the red eye with coffee and biscuits. Because you can guarantee that if something scandalous has happened on a flight or on a trip - then that story will make it's way around the world faster than the plane itself!

On today's episode, we hear Susan's blog entry for April. Where she heard a huge amount of fabulous gossip about some naughty pilots but unfortunately her Mum was there when she heard it. (although she didn't seem to mind to be fair!) 

If you like a glimpse into the glamourous, gossipful life of aviation, then listen to this pocket sized episode of The Red Eye podcast!
