This is the ONLY time she will get heard by the airline, so BRAVO for taking advantage of it.

I was a flight attendant back in the 60's for a major airline when passengers were much better behaved.
And we took pride in our jobs.

I have watched the falling apart of service, maintaining planes, managments greed, and various other things that have made some US carriers just relics of the reputation they once had.

Even back in the 60's, if I dared suggest another way of doing things, I was told to be very careful what I said to airline officials. And to my Union officials also.

At least in those days, many airline VP's, and Presidents came up in our business and knew something about airplanes, aviation, and how the industry functioned.

It is amazing, but most airline brass don't really know the job nowdays, know nothing about how airlines work, care very little about working conditions or passengers rights.

They are just business school grads who flip from one job to another, and rarely stay long at an airline, just long enough to collect a fat payoff to leave or go onto another very high paying position.
