Shortly after landing you will notice a marked increase in the noise level as our captain reverses our engine to slow our forward speed. <br /><br />Please make sure that your tray tables and seat backs are upright and locked into their secured position. At this time we ask that you refrain from smoking until you are well inside the terminal building. <br /><br />The time in Los Angeles is now 830PM Pacific Daylight Time. From your LAX based crew we thank you for flying TWA and hope your trip was pleasant. <br /><br />This is all we ever needed back "in the good old days".amulbunny's random thoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10621932038345682056noreply@blogger.com
