Quotes 

• [Vanessa Cross, the chief flight attendant, enters the flight deck] 

  Gordon Vette : Ah, the new cabin boss! Have you guys met? This is Ross Mann, first officer, soon-to-be captain. Captain Warren Banks, relief pilot...

  Capt. Warren Banks : Welcome.

  Gordon Vette : Vanessa Cross.

  [Vanessa and Ross look at each other, and then she hands a paper printout to Gordon] 

  Gordon Vette : You got the passenger list ready.

  Vanessa Cross : We've only 88 for the return flight. Plenty of room.

  First Officer Mann : And maybe we can pop in for a drink at Sydney on the way...

  Gordon Vette : Ross, soon-to-be captains don't hit on chief flight attendants.

  First Officer Mann : And why not?

  Vanessa Cross : Hey, Gordon! Mind your own business.

  [Ross and Gordon chuckle, Warren looks puzzled] 

• Gordon Vette : 771, this is 308. What are your vital statistics?

  Jay Parkins : I've gotten down to take a look at the ocean. Fuel gauge is low. Airspeed 110 knots. All I can see is... water and sky. I've been up there for 14 hours. Everything is starting to look the same.

  Gordon Vette : Hang in there, 771. We're going to find you. Just call us on 121.5 every two minutes so we can determine whether we're within 200 miles of each other.

  Jay Parkins : Will do, thanks. Listen, 308? You're not really out there for search and rescue, aren't you? I mean... no on-board radar or anything like that. How the hell do you plan to find me?

  [pause] 

  Capt. Warren Banks : Damn good question!
