I can't see this ever being adopted...the FAA couldn't deal with the mods required to Bleed Air Systems/Pack Mods. Seat belts would also require re-certification - the passengers would float into the air - the current belts would require strengthening... Sorry - couldn't resist... Well spotted Nick ! Made my day.

April 1, 201313 yr Good to see some airlines still have a sense of humour. That makes WestJet and Aer Lingus, any other airlines celebrating April 1st that we know of?

April 7, 201313 yr This was the first year I didn't play an April Fool's joke on my wife. In prior years I've sent her fake HOA fine letters, fake traffic tickets, fake bills, and anything else I could think of. Loved these April Fools videos. Brought a smile to me during a stressful week. Regards, John
April 8, 201313 yr Westjet has to learn next year, the trick to a good April Fools youtube video, is not having the words "April Fools" in the title :LOL: Thanks Tom My Youtube Videos! http://www.youtube.com/user/tf51d
April 8, 201313 yr Westjet has to learn next year, the trick to a good April Fools youtube video, is not having the words "April Fools" in the title :lol: This is true... I tried showing the clip to my girlfriend, I made it full screen to try to hide the title, but the title was in the corner as it flashed when I hit the play button. Ruined a perfectly good joke before it could happen. :huh: Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me
