Airline Quotes

Phil Donahue quote: "Airlines are interesting. They not only favor celebrities,..."
Airlines are interesting. They not only favor celebrities, they court them. Phil Donahue
Airlines go in the long run at the competition to reason. For the passenger the competition is good, because each competitor tries to undercut the other one. Niki Lauda
Al Boliska quote: "Airline travel is hours of boredom interrupted by moments of..."
Airline travel is hours of boredom interrupted by moments of stark terror. Al Boliska
Mickey Gilley quote: "I had some airline stock, but the airlines tanked. I didn't..."
I had some airline stock, but the airlines tanked. I didn't have a lot of money in them, though. Mickey Gilley
A lot of faith is placed upon the airline itself. The FAA has never and will never have enough resources to completely monitor the airlines. Wayne Williams
So I've seen life as one long learning process. And if I see - you know, if I fly on somebody else's airline and find the experience is not a pleasant one, which it wasn't in - 21 years ago, then I'd think, well, you know, maybe I can create the kind of airline that I'd like to fly on. Richard Branson
Let me be very honest and just say that if any airline would let me take the violin and the laptop on board I would fly that airline all the time. Lara St. John
Muriel Spark quote: "I never trust the airlines from those countries where the..."
I never trust the airlines from those countries where the pilots believe in the afterlife. You are safer when they don't. Muriel Spark
What we are trying to do at Virgin is not to have one enormous company in one sector under one banner, but to have two hundred or even three hundred separate companies. Each company can stand on its own feet and, in that way, although we've got a brand that links them, if we were to have another tragedy such as that of 11 September - which hurt the airline industry - it would not bring the whole group crashing down. Richard Branson
At seven p. m., hope is sparked again when some new chirpy airline employee announces that a new plane without that nasty mechanical problem - the aviation of the clap - will arrive around 9 o'clock. Apparently, the old plane would now be used as a decoy plane so that when a plane wasn't available it could be loaded with passengers who could sit there thinking that they would be leaving in fifteen minutes. Lewis Black
The year I snuck an interracial lesbian couple into the background of an American Airlines commercial, I was feeling particularly flush. Augusten Burroughs
People were used to those slow human speeds on both land and sea, to those delays, those waitings on the wind or fair weather, to those expectations of shipwreck, sun, and death. The liners the little white girl knew were among the last mailboats in the world. It was while she was young that the first airlines were started, which were gradually to deprive mankind of journeys across the sea. (The Lover) Marguerite Duras
Here's a phrase that apparently the airlines simply made up: near miss. They say that if 2 planes almost collide, it's a near miss. Bullshit, my friend. It's a near hit! A collision is a near miss. [WHAM! CRUNCH!] "Look, they nearly missed!" "Yes, but not quite. George Carlin
Please relax," said the voice pleasantly, like a stewardess in an airliner with only one wing and two engines one of which is on fire, "you are perfectly safe. Douglas Adams
You wake up at SeaTac. I study the people on the laminated airline seat card. A woman floats in the ocean, her brown hair spread out behind her, her seat cushion clutched to her chest. The eyes are wide open, but the woman doesn’t smile or frown. In another picture, people calm as Hindu cows reach up from their seats toward oxygen masks sprung out of the ceiling. This must be an emergency. Oh. Chuck Palahniuk
