I'm a low time, naive, starry eyed 19 yearold student pilot looking for some knowledge and experiences. Anyone have any interesting stories?
I work for an airline flying the 737 what do you want to know

Never had any emergencies per say.
Had to divert twice. Once because there was a thunderstorm over our destination, the other time we had to divert because our destination was fogged out. We were supposed to land at our home base at 23:00, we actually got back at 4:00am the next morning .Longest and most tiring day ever.
Had a few people faint on board.
Had a drunk woman who wasn't aggressive, but she was totally incapable of walking and because she was large we had to call the police who got her a wheelchair.
Been through severe turbulence once, lasted about 5-10 seconds and let me tell you it was scary. I've never been scared in a plane before but that was the first time.
One of our passengers didn't like the look of some asian people so complained to the police, they looked through the bags, we talked to our anti-terror police to confirm there was nothing suspicious.

No Eurofag here
North america you need about 1500 hours to be even considered for a right hand seat of a 737
Europe is more lax
