A pilot was once flying a plane where about 90 fifth-graders were returning home after a school trip.
Once they were in the air and the crew began trying to serve drinks, the pilot could hear them pleading with the children to settle down so the beverages could be served and the other passengers could get some sleep.
No amount of reasoning seemed to help, until the pilot thought of a solution that actually worked: he picked up the mic in the cockpit and announced, “Children, this is the captain speaking. Don’t make me stop this airplane and come back there.”
