Comment on In the US, it's finally socially acceptable again to clap when the plane lands

Was on a flight a few months ago, and when we landed, no clapping - dead quiet. Out of the silence, I heard a, what must have been, six year old shout really loudly “WE DID IT!”.

that 6 year old clearly needs to learn the importance of silence. A commercial airliner deserves no praise, flights are no more special than train rides or bus rides.

I celebrate my bus rides and thank the driver every single ride. We need more positivity for everyone providing services we rely on.

I thank the driver too, but I don’t think they’d take it as a compliment if I showed relief that they didn’t crash.

If the bus went 600 miles an hour and every one on board might die because a duck decided to take flight at the wrong time? Then ya I think there would be some serious celebration every time the bus stopped.

If you’re not trolling - what a bizarre thing to tell a child. If children can’t be children, then who can??

Me. I’ll take the burden. I’ll be the child.

I have a good day today so I offer to carry some of that burden

Think different, we should applaud more often for those that deliver services essential for many
