I always ask for tomato juice, no ice. I'm never given the whole can. I think the flight attendants must keep the rest to make themselves Bloody Marys.

Southwest Airlines Flight 3050 crashes in Oakland

The thought has never crossed my mind. No booze for me -- I always like to know what's going on. Even on a commercial flight I'll listen to ATC if it's available.
Well I went away like 4 days ago to spain and just after we got up in the air pretty far up we just dropped for like 10 seconds and that was the longest 8 seconds of my life, 8 seconds doesn't seem long but it felt like ages and I was so scared because I don't really like flying and I always remember Final Destination 1 where the plane just took of and exploded.
My flight instructor would always refer to the process of landing as a "controlled crash."
When I was returning home a couple years ago, there were some nasty thunderstorms around STL. They proceeded with the landing anyways, but the second the wheels touched the runway, the pilot brought the plane back up into the air. Nonetheless, we were all pretty worried that something was wrong. So after a few minutes back in the air, the pilot gets on and says "Uh, ATC decided at the last minute it would be better to fly around and wait out the storms." There was just that period between going back up and the announcement where we were all scared sh*tless. I would think that if you're already on the effing runway, it would be better to just slow the damn thing down and get to the gate, it seems like going back up, especially in tstorms, would've been riskier.
And then it took American almost an hour to get baggage out to us
Well they almost always give me the tomato juice can. Plus they give me extra plush blankets, caviar, champagne, a foot rub, a complimentary iPod (with my name engraved on it), and free upgrades to first class, even if they have to throw somebody else out of first class and hand them a parachute. I think it's my elegant wardrobe that gets me such good treatment.
I don't think I can remember when I've not been given the can of whatever it was I asked for.
I must fly the right airlines.
As the old saying goes, "A good landing is one you can walk away from. A great landing is one where you get to use the airplane again."
By that standard, all of my landings to date have been "great" (not that my passengers or CFIs would always agree).

Oh come on, you were planning this all along. A glass of tomato juice and a book of Sudoko?
It will certainly get you added attention!I have always been given the can. Perhaps carrying a gun helps....
They have booze on Southwest?
Yes we do!
Heck, last time I flew American (domestic) they gave me a cup of soda. Filled it up, handed me the cup, that was it. I remember when they would fill the cup and then give you the rest of the can.
Free booze would be awesome on domestic flights though
It's hit or miss. We don't really have an 'official' policy.
I hereby award myself the coveted Stupid Mistake of the Week award. I chatted with a flight attendant at the airport over the weekend, but I forgot to ask about the "give 'em the whole can" policy! I saw this thread today and immediately realized I had goofed. Now there is no way we will ever know the answer.
