Maybe you have been on a commercial flight and overheard your flight crew use some kind of weird "code-talk". They do this when they need to communicate with each other without the passengers knowing what they are talking about. Could be harmless chatter among themselves or it could be something a lot more serious. Here are 10 examples of their interesting "secret code-talk".
1. "Deadhead": A crew member who is traveling as a passenger only - not on duty.
2. "Slam-click": When a crew member stays in their hotel room until it's time to fly.
3. "Code-bravo": Flight crew uses this term to distract passengers while they may be attempting to take care of a serious problem.
4. "Air pocket": A nice way of saying hold on to your drinks, bumpy ride coming up!
5. "The sin bin": Coming into Vegas? No, it's the area your plane is holding in while waiting to takeoff.
6. "Blue-Juice": Tropical drink? Nope! It is the water in the toilet.
7. "Last minute paperwork": A hold up for change of flight plan or problem with weight-distribution log. In any case, your take-off is delayed.
8. "Code Adam": There's an incident aboard involving a child.
9. "Crotch-watch": Ever see your flight attendant look at your lap to see if you are buckled up?
Last but not least...This one we never want to hear in flight! "Code 7500!" Plane is being hi-jacked!
Okay, now we know the codes, but let's not go and get all paranoid about flying commercially. Air travel is a whole lot safer than driving out your driveway.
"Have a nice flight!
