Brenda before you start making comments about flight attendants sitting in the pilots lap. You better know what your speaking about. Flight Attendants are only there for aircraft emergency and medical emergency. Not to serve food, not to make your flight more enjoyable. They have the training as a EMT. they know the aircarft that they are flying on in side out .To get people like yourself off in the event that their is some medical or aircraft emergency. I would like to see how long you would last just in the training of any US carrier. It is an FAA regulation for every 50 people on a US Carrier that their be no less than one F/A per 50 pax. The Airline it self can supper seed what the FAA demands. And you think they have time to go up to the flight deck and sit in a pilots lap. How highly misguided are you?
