So does anyone else agree that i might just blow away?? OR that it is going to be INSANELY bumpy out of pg in the morning...im going to go with the INSANELY bumpy. oh by the way for those of you who didnt know, i am in pg on a quick little lay over...just went to see the holiday with dix, and i must admit it was pretty good...bit on the girly side, but hey the girly the better...

here is a revelation that i am still pondering..any insight would be greatly appreciated haha...
so today we took over an aircraft in calgary, that had just came from grande prairie...which of course in gp is a BIT snowy and icey so they have been using salt on the ramp area...understandable, anyways so that salt is then tracked into the cabin of the aircraft...so in the galley, it isnt carpet and the salt residue stays on the floor of the galley...the point of my story is, we were off to kelowna and when we landed, it was wet in kelowna, and the water was tracked into the galley and the aircraft...the water and the salt then somehow formed to turn the galley into a skating rink...im not even kidding...the galley was SO slippery, a FA i was working with fell flat on his ass...and all the guests were slidding around...so my pondering is....how come if salt is suppose to melt ice and make it NOT slippery, did this combination turn into a skating rink...and for all those people out there, NO the galley was not wet..the water had dried and with the salt turned into this...just curious...all of us FA's and PILOTS (for those of you who think pilots know everything;)) were pondering this all day...any answers would be greatly appreciated..

anyways must get off to bed now..too much pondering for one day and since it is almost 11 pm here in pg and i have been up since 2 am pg time i think its time for bed...ohh and that 0515 wake up isnt going to help:P have a good night everyone!
PS!!!! IN A WEEK SANTA COMES

No idea about the salt thing - perhaps the salt fills in the bumps on the floor and makes a smoother surface?? Kind of like when the bathroom floor gets hairspray on it and you can skate to the toilet!

One WEEK one WEEK! Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho!
