Surely on the plane trips you have made, you have heard the staff members talk strangely to each other. Employees of transport companies use speeches and special sentences in different situations not to be understood by passengers. These encrypted messages are also used to avoid panic in the aircraft. But if you are curious to learn their meaning, read below:
5 days in Denmark (5 days in Denmark)
Maybe you heard a stewardess on a plane saying "5 days in Denmark"? You might have thought that she was talking about vacations and not for a passenger. However, she spoke exactly about the person sitting in the 5D seat. Thanks to these phrases, stewardesses can talk about others without knowing anyone.
Blue Juice
The phrase "blue juice" is used by flight attendants when talking about a toilet malfunction. To avoid unpleasant words, the staff created this code. If you hear this phrase, you know what is happening.
International disaster signal (Mayday)
This code is used by pilots and ship captains to signal a situation that is life-threatening. But in some places, firefighters, cops and some transport organizations use it as well. The code is always repeated 3 times in succession.
"Pan-pan", an international radio signal, with less urgency than the "Mayday"
This is an emergency signal on a ship or on a plane and comes from the French word "panne" which literally means ruin. However, it is usually used to show a situation that does not pose any risk to human health, but needs adjustment.
Red code (Code red)
We look forward to hearing this phrase most in real life, but only in movies. The red code is used in the most difficult and extreme situations on an aircraft, and most of the time, this situation is related to a serious technical problem or an emergency landing.
Purell
Purell is a brand of handheld remedy, but on a plane or a ship this word word is repeated 3 times to call the cleaning service. This means that there is a passenger on board who is sick and cleaning is needed.
