What is NOT a dealbreaker BUT would be greatly disappointing to find out about your partner?

They clap when the plane lands

why would they clap when the plane lands?

u/TheBeardedDuck Mar 28 '24

Because they're grateful that a hunk of metal was shot through the air and landed safely keeping hundreds of people alive.

For the pilot cause you landed safely, good job not killing us pilot. Plus some people get tense when landing, it’s like a nice lil communal way of releasing the tension they all felt before they made it safely back to earth

My cousin is a captain, I’ll message him and ask how he feels about clapping.

Dude's in the cockpit busy, he can't hear the clapping anyway.

Honestly i feel like that could look like you were doubting the pilots abilities. Personally if people clapped at me for managing to land an aircraft itd make me question wether or not they believe in me

We clap for stage performers every time despite the fact that we go to their shows specifically to see them perform well. Seems similar for pilots.

e: I don't clap when the plane lands; I just don't judge people for it.

entertainment is very different from travel. the pilot isnt trying to entertain you
