Flight Attendant Confesses Ups And Downs Of Job {Gadling}
Dec 4th 2012 5:36PM From the sound of it, she does not work for any major US carrier. Back in the good times I knew a very few F/A who pretty much gave the rest of us the reputation of sky sluts. I had the misfortune to get a room connecting to theirs one trip and could not sleep for the racket they made. They had picked up a couple of guys on our JFK-LAX flt and sat in their laps during the movie, made frequent trips to the lav and came out sniffing and then one was not at her door for arrival! I had to run to disarm it so the agent wouldn't get flattened by the slide. Definitely the exception rather than the rule which is why I still remember this incident. Most F/A are much classier than all that.
Every airline is different. Different routes, rates of pay, work rules AND apparently hiring practices.

How to improve a stay in a bad hotel {Gadling}
Oct 10th 2010 10:46AM I once checked in to our layover hotel ( a place booked by my employer in which we and stayed on every trip) and upon entering my room found that it had not been very well cleaned. As it was the quiet room at the end of the hall and away from the 'ding!' of the elevator I did not wish to move so I picked up the Cheerios from the floor and cleaned the sticky soda rings from the night table myself. When I pulled back the covers I found that the corner of the top sheet was torn and full of BIG holes. No way someone didn't notice this while making the bed.
In the AM I put the shhet in the laundry bag and headed to the lobby. I asked to see the manager and when I had him in a relatively private spot, revealed the sheet. I explained that while I had no choice of hotel the person who made up this room had no idea who would be spending the night there. It could have been anyone. Where I come from sheets that look like that are called dust rags. I mentioned the Cheerios and the soda rings as well and said that if he didn't know about the problem he could not correct it and I was sure this was not acceptable to him. He offered to arrange for my rental car.

Aug 11th 2010 10:21PM Susann, just so you know, if you were young and free and WITHOUT A COLLEGE EDUCATION chances are excellent that most airlines would not hire you.
Most F/A for major carriers are very well educated.

Aug 10th 2010 11:16AM I beg your pardon, but the trash collector is not expected to EAT the trash every day.
Certainly Mr. Slater's actions went beyond what most of would have done but that could be the result of the brain injury he had just received, right?
