Spongebue you got it. Question #5 dealt with dry cabin air, not the humid climate in the Philippines or Panama. Next time I'll expect you to post in the quiz too.

But bread isn't a very good indicator on those flights either. You never really get bread, you get BUNS and they're heated, which makes them dry anyway. You talking about grabbing some bread at your local 7-11 store before your flight and tearing a piece off and sticking it inside your cigarrette pack or something? About dry cabin air, how can you determine if the air is dry in the cabin with salt? If the salt flows freely as you sprinkle the shaker, its DRY, but if it gets clogged, its HUMID. I know your looking for the best answers possible but I still claim a lame quiz on this one. Also with all the latest renovations in the past years, how can you actually determine which airport is which from a 1960's picture? And whaaa whaaaa whaaa whaaa,.......

Wooo I won *bows*

I still remember the first time I saw those WN flight attendant pics... we were doing a class at university on customer service and had to do a report on Southwest. That was when I decided I would get into their internship program and happily did the next year.

Their model plane on my cabinet behind me and southwest wine glass at home always remind me of success!

What is this,

Do to the fact that the moisture is not retained. I can tell when its dry if I leave my cigar unwrapped in my pocket. I've had them totally unravel on me on long flights making me have to throw away my cigar but that happened only ONCE.
7=a,b, (I'm thinkin earmuffs here. If you refer to boom mic, then I would say pilots and mechanics (Avionics troubleshooting com system.) Earmuffs for the rampers and technicians where the noise level is high around the airplane. Pilots usually use earplugs or nothing at all, never see them with those mickey mouse muffs on.

Palms, make a decision. If all else fails, leave it up to fate and flip a coin I'm not giving half points.
