Welcome aboard, ladies and gentleman. We are currently cruising on a height of 10000 ft, outside temperatures are -60 degrees. You will be happy to know that we are going to reach our destination right on schedule, as we saved 20 minutes by not doing that needed repair on our tail before takeoff. Lunch will be served in 10 minutes from now, and if you see our repairman passing by your window, give him a round of applause!" “This is your captain speaking. Welcome aboard, ladies and gentleman.
