    Was on a flight a few months ago, and when we landed, no clapping - dead quiet. Out of the silence, I heard a, what must have been, six year old shout really loudly “WE DID IT!”.

      that 6 year old clearly needs to learn the importance of silence. A commercial airliner deserves no praise, flights are no more special than train rides or bus rides.

        I celebrate my bus rides and thank the driver every single ride. We need more positivity for everyone providing services we rely on.

          I thank the driver too, but I don’t think they’d take it as a compliment if I showed relief that they didn’t crash.

            If the bus went 600 miles an hour and every one on board might die because a duck decided to take flight at the wrong time? Then ya I think there would be some serious celebration every time the bus stopped.

              It’s not the duck that’s a problem. That would his 15 mates and extended family all going the same way.

        If you’re not trolling - what a bizarre thing to tell a child. If children can’t be children, then who can??
