You are in mid-flight when you sense that something isn't right. You look out the window and can clearly see that one of the engines is no longer working.

You are still heading towards your destination, but not quite as fast. You are aware that you will be landing shortly to re-fuel before once again taking off for what is hopefully the trip of a lifetime.

During the layover, you ask questions of the crew but no one publicly acknowledges your concerns. Most of the other passengers agree with you and believe that, if possible, they would like to change planes to one with all functioning engines, given that they see what appears to be a newer plane being made ready by the airline for such a transfer.

However, the crew ignores the arrival of the new plane and proceeds with the original flight plan. You have learned that this is the only plane flown by the pilot. It's obvious that the pilot has confidence in flying with 3 of the 4 engines, but it comes across as stubborness since no extra time would be needed to board the second plane versus the first.

It's common knowledge that planes can fly when not all of the engines are operational, but this time a change can be made that looks to benefit everyone.

(I've got more, but I think you get the idea.)

Do you shut up and board the first plane with no questions asked?
Do you ask for input from your fellow passengers, hoping to believe that you aren't crazy in your views?
Do you hope that by continually bringing up the better option, that eventually someone on the crew will actually acknowledge it?
Do you root for a crash so you can say "I told you so" even though you're dead?
Do you hope that the engine turns itself back on before it's too late?
Something else?

Shut the hell up and trust the professionals. You can change planes at any point, remember. Trust they won't let you crash.

I'm confused. Is Wash the first plane or is he the pilot? Is the crew the media? Michael Young is a broken engine. I think I got that part... Or is he the plane...?

In any case: fire Wash, bench Young, free Gentry, give Mitch a chance.

This is the craziest attempt at an analogy ever!

I am now insane...

I get on the plane, hope that we get to about 45k feet (that should give me enough time).....hope it starts to crash, and take Kaime (the stewardess) into the lavatory.........i dont really care what happens from then on out

Plane = typical lineup
Crew = coaching staff
Airline = FO
Passengers = fans
@Kyle = William Shatner in original "Twilight Zone" role, lol

I'm pretty sure he is talking about Dave Barnett...

So does that make Wash the gremlin on the wing?

I hope it's the "Soul Plane" plane. Maybe Wash can be Snoop Dogg and MY can be Kevin Hart and get stuck in a toilet. Sh*t happens.... literally.
