Ever wondered just how thoroughly airplanes are checked before they take off? Well, there is a very extensive list of constraints that need to be checked before a flight. However, there’s a threshold for minor failures that can go unattended to avoid delays. Don’t worry, though, these aren’t supposed to affect safety provisions.

In terms of in-flight safety, planes can handle thunderstorms and often even get struck by lightning without causing damage. Pilots are usually aware of weather before take-off. But buckle up as most turbulence-related injuries happen to those who don’t have their seat belt fastened or when unsecured items go flying across the cabin.
10. What’s it Worth to be a Flight Attendant?

That means delays and cancellations are just as annoying, if not more, for them as they don’t necessarily get paid if the plane doesn’t leave the gate. Different airlines have different policies on payment but still, think about that the next time you’re impatiently sitting on the tarmac.
