Galley Gossip: 5 ways flight attendants handle difficult passengers

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

I would not be a flight attendant for all the money in the world. I've flown many times and I've seen a couple of problems during flights. In each instance the flight attendants handled the problem quietly and professionally. The problem is you are dealing with people, and too many of them either have no class or respect or they feel the need to be noticed. I always fly Jet Blue and their employees are always wonderful. My sympathys to those that have to deal with jerks in a closed in area.

I worked as a flight attendant,in the late 50's and early 60's. Back then we were called Stewardess. The pasangers that flew at that time dressed nice, took baths before going away from home and acted with respect towards we girls. They had manners. It was pleasant work and I loved my job. I did notice, however, as the years passed, the passengers began to get more demanding. We did have a few, not too often that were a bit rude. The passengers now, are not like those back then.
