Years Off Your Life

Flying to a particular island, (Australia), the government is paranoid about insects being introduced, so requires all operators to spray their aircraft before each flight that enters their country.

In the old days the spraying would occur when the passengers were on board. Nowadays they spray the aircraft prior to boarding.

Often, during spraying, the smoke detectors go off using the same alarm that advises when the plane is suffering a major disaster. This occurs during flight preparation when the pilots have their heads down, comparing waypoints in the autopilot against the printed flight plan.

Airbus calls the alarm "an attention getter". It works. Every-time.
