Oh yeah? Someone should have told the German mechanic in "Raiders of the Lost Ark":

They’re heartbroken but they still outsource to pay less.
I worked the Flight Deck and I remember when he use to come to the predeployment safety meetings. Lost hearing in his Left Ear completely and some memory issues.
Tom Hanks?
Training, procedures, new staff, higher workload due to fewer staff?

“Woke” hiring practices and programs are likely compromising safety in the airline industry. Especially dangerous in regard to flight crews and aircraft maintenance.

Cleanup at gate 4

Aw man, that is COLD, but still funny!
Sorry.
I misunderstood.
Well that sucks!

I see what you did there, and it’s not very nice!
In China, will they bill his family for the engine repair?
If you were to wake up in any major or international airport in the USA you would think you woke up in Mogadishu or Kandahar. They are not hiring the best and brightest at airports.
stop the Diversity hires rather than putting safety cages around planes...duh.
You're always pretty worried about the jab being exposed. Why is that?
The airport will have to send a few firetrucks to hose down a large area of tarmac.
Second time this has happened in less than a year. One really has to pay attention when working the flight line.
"A Sailor Survived Getting Sucked into a Jet Engine During Operation Desert Storm"
Bridges' last check was making sure the aircraft was connected to the Roosevelt's catapult for takeoff. He checked out where the launching mechanism was and moved to back away from the Intruder, he began to walk forward, but didn't make it very far.
Not only was Bridges lifted off the flight deck, the intake ripped off his float coat, goggles, helmet and tools. They went into the engine first, causing a large explosion that likely saved his life."

Last words heard, "Well that sucks."
I did a Midshipman cruise on the Ike in the early ‘80’s. Got to rotate through the stations on the ship to get a taste of what the enlisted men go through. I have a couple of stories from that time.
Once, during my three days on the forward flight deck, I was standing next to the guy with the silvery suit when an F-14 was about to take off. The blueshirt PO dragged me away by the scruff. He asked me, “do you know why only the fire-suited guy gets to stand by the blast shields?” When the F-14 went to full afterburner, I would have been a crispy critter. The PO said he wanted me right behind him for the next three days, only in more colorful language.
Next, I did a stint in the repair shop with a midshipman buddy. I went on a call to the laundry, that just resulted in a shore repair ticket (a lot of stuff gets slated for repair when the ship docks).
I volunteered for the next call, but my buddy said no, you just went out. The next time I saw him, he was wearing a robe, and told me this story.
He and a sailor went to examine a sewer header down in the bowels of the ship. The sailor (who should have know better) opened a check port and nothing came out. He then opened the cap, and both were showered with “greasy black *excrement*”, propelled with about five decks of pressure. He had to walk back through the main deck, and just like Richard Pryor’s “when you’re... on fire, people get out of your way”, he was parting the sailors. He joked about going up to the mess and saying, “hmm, that looks good”.
They scrubbed him pretty good, and had to get a shot, maybe tetanus, but I’m not sure.
Beat me to it.
