What Never to Say at 30,000 Feet: Shawn and G Unpack Airline Stupidity

Cabin Pressure with Shawn and "G"

Leave us a message, or ask a question?

Ever wondered what flight attendants talk about when they're not telling you to fasten your seatbelts? Welcome to the unfiltered world of Shawn and G, where vacation mishaps and workplace nightmares collide in spectacular fashion.
Shawn returns from Florida bursting with stories about his discovery of Bucky's convenience store ("departments in a convenience store!") and a beach adventure gone wrong. Picture this: a family minivan sinking into soft sand, panicking relatives, unhelpful onlookers, and salvation coming from three elderly women armed with rubber floor mats. Add a stubborn baby bird camping under the tire, and you've got the vacation disaster story that'll make you feel better about your own travel mishaps.
Meanwhile, G explains why he needed four days to decompress after a week from hell. From passengers ignoring potentially life-saving medical advice to dealing with a "service animal" that bit someone, G's patience was tested repeatedly. The final straw? A teenager's dismissive attitude when asked to stow their tray table before takeoff. The hosts' discussion reveals the genuine frustration flight attendants experience when passengers refuse simple safety instructions.
The conversation takes several unexpected turns, including a candid discussion about recent teacher-student scandals and the potentially catastrophic consequences of making bomb jokes on aircraft. Shawn and G pull no punches as they explain how a single thoughtless comment can lead to SWAT teams, airport shutdowns, and lifetime flying bans.
Whether you work in the airline industry or are just fascinated by its inner workings, this episode delivers equal parts humor, outrage, and genuine insight into the challenges flight crews face. Subscribe now and join the cabin crew conversation that happens after the seatbelt sign turns off!
