But the check in procedure shouldn't be taken out of the flight attendant. All they're responsible for is getting passengers on and off the plane and assisting during the flight with reasonable needs. It's not like you'll be treated like a movie star one on one. They have to take care of everyone on that flight. If you want star treatment go hire a private jet. I'm sure most fliers will find something wrong with the service there too. >.

I didn't say they should - and neither should you accuse me of wanting star treatment because I said that passengers are in a bad mood when they get on the plane.

But it happens anyway, huh? :)

Fire all the stewardess....we dont need them and thier attitude.
Staff the planes with 2 marshalls with fire-arms.
Make all the seating flat lying sleepers stacked like little cubicals Japanese style.
All take off and landing announcements should be pre-recorded anyway.
and for hot and cold food and water.....Vending machines.
open up the center for stretching and walking around.
watch peoples attitudes change.
you'll say I'm crazy now,but just watch, one company will do it and all of them will follow.

I think Mr. Stache was seated next to me two flights ago. He told me he wanted to meet the Flight Attendant in the back of the plane and would be right back after he impressed her enough to get a date. Said something about he was going to use his belt as a jump rope while balancing a roll on the tip of his nose. @>~~^~~^~~
