Cabin Pressure with Shawn and "G"

• The Small World of Airline Life: Disney, Destinations, and Disasters with special guest Blake

  Leave us a message, or ask a question?What happens when 10,500 flight attendants walk off the job simultaneously? Shawn and G kick off this episode celebrating the Air Canada strike's remarkable success, where crew members defied government orders and forced negotiations in just two days—a watershed moment for airline labor movements everywhere.The conversation shifts into hilarious territory as G recounts surviving an unbearably hot flight with what he describes as "Satan's ass air" filling the cabin, while Shawn shares his Colorado adventures during stage three fire alerts. But the real gem comes when G reveals being mistakenly introduced as a "pilot" to 2,000 concertgoers at a Journey tribute band show, leaving him awkwardly accepting applause for a job he's never done.Special guest Blake joins the crew, bringing tales from his whirlwind adventures to 35 countries in just 2.5 years as a flight attendant. From his master's degree studies in Scotland to his Eagle Scout background that's proven surprisingly useful in airline emergencies, Blake offers a fresh perspective on travel. The trio discusses favorite destinations (Sydney gets high marks), places that didn't impress (sorry, Brussels), and Blake's heartwarming birthday cruise with his grandmother.Between laughter-filled stories about passenger entitlement, rental car breakdowns in Lake Tahoe, and debates about Disney attractions, the hosts deliver valuable insights about air travel today. Whether you're a frequent flyer or aviation industry professional, you'll appreciate their reminder that 99% of passengers are wonderful—it's just that memorable 1% that creates the unforgettable stories.Support the show🎙️ Thanks for flying with Cabin Pressure with Shawn & G!

• From Overhead Bin Battles to Travel Tales: Flight Attendant Confessions

  Leave us a message, or ask a question?Ever wondered what flight attendants are really thinking when they see you struggling with those fancy neck pillows that never seem to work? Or why they look so annoyed when you claim ownership of "your" overhead bin space? Shawn and G pull back the curtain on airline crew life with unfiltered honesty and infectious laughter.The duo shares stories of colorful personalities in the skies, including a vibrant Latin flight attendant whose energy level "was at 12" and knew everyone in the terminal by name. This leads to a deeper conversation about crew dynamics and how positive energy can transform even the most challenging workday.Behind the smiles and service, flight attendants face significant challenges that passengers rarely see. Reserve crew members struggle with disrupted sleep cycles and unpredictable schedules, sometimes working twelve consecutive days with only the minimum required rest periods scheduled in random cities rather than at home. Meanwhile, finding healthy food options while constantly on the move becomes a daily battle against airport prices and limited choices.The most revealing moments come when Shawn and G address passenger behavior – from the entitlement that makes some travelers believe their job title grants them special treatment, to the perplexing refusal to wear seatbelts despite knowing the dangers of turbulence. Their frustration is palpable when discussing how some passengers treat service workers, reminding listeners that respect shouldn't be determined by occupation or income.Whether you're a frequent flyer or occasional traveler, this episode offers invaluable perspective on the realities of airline life.

  Leave us a message, or ask a question?The commute to work can feel like a safari through the animal kingdom – both the actual wildlife darting across country roads and the various "species" of drivers we encounter daily. Shawn and G kick off this episode sharing tales from the asphalt jungle where tailgaters, no-signal ninjas, and road hogs roam freely alongside the deer and raccoons that make rural driving an adventure in itself.Once at the airport, the wildlife observations continue as the hosts dive into the fascinating behaviors of airline passengers. G recounts meeting "Beverly Hills Cat Coco Chanel #9" – yes, that's the actual name – traveling in a clear backpack carrier, while G describes passengers who believe their designer luggage deserves special treatment in the overhead bins. The hosts share their frustration with entitled travelers, particularly the "prima donna children" whose parents have abandoned all attempts at discipline, creating challenging situations for crew and fellow passengers alike.Flight attendants lead unique lives, and this episode peeks behind the galley curtain at "jump seat therapy" – the heart-to-heart conversations crew members have about personal struggles, particularly divorces. Between lively stories about Sean's golf tournament near-victory and celebrating passengers who actually engage with each other instead of retreating behind headphones, Shawn and G deliver an episode that's both hilarious and enlightening about the human condition at 30,000 feet.Ever wondered why flight attendants seem so desperate to get you to follow safety instructions?
