CHARLOTTE, NC – As sweat rolled down his chin, flight attendant Stephen Myers leaned into the cockpit and asked the captain if she wouldn’t mind adjusting the air conditioning. Before he could finish asking the question she hollered, “No, it’s fine where it’s at. Tell them to use a safety briefing card as a fan.”

Cynthia Nelson was making a point. It was her plane and she’d adjust the temperature to her liking. As the sun baked the metal tube on the hot tarmac in Charlotte the temperature inside the plane soon became stifling.

Which is right where Nelson wanted it.

“Turn on the AC? Yeah, no. You gotta set a tone early on with your passengers,” Nelson shared with her co-pilot. “Let ’em know who’s in charge.”

Meanwhile, flight attendant Stephen Myers was administering first aid to two passengers suffering heat stroke symptoms, while dripping sweat into a puddle in the aisle.

  2. This whole blog is f-ing stupid. I thought the boarding was for real travel blogs but they allow you to post made up bs crap. I’m almost done with boardingarea bc of this bunch of click bait…

    1. Why are you so into a blog that obviously distresses you so much? There are a few Boarding Area blogs that I avoid for my own reasons. Unless you’re trying to raise your low blood pressure perhaps you should do the same.

  4. Good one. It’d be even more accurate for foreign airlines. I’m not sure why but many love to keep the temperature at roasting and don’t offer air nozzles like U.S. airlines do.

  5. Obviously this Captain is the byproduct of diversity hiring.
    She’ll be flying charted night flights for the Feds moving newly arrived illegals from border states to interior red states and districts.
    Since a majority are from desert climates, it only makes sense to raise the cabin temperature.
    These first-time passengers have been through so much already; like bypassing TSA without any identification to expedite boarding.
    -Dissenters, chill out.

  6. Passenger should just say they are having shortness of breath and or chest pain. Request EMS to the plane. Flight crew can advise EMS, police and gate agents why the cabin AC is off. This can be fully documented in incident reports for further investigation.
