Galley Gossip: A question about tipping flight attendants {Gadling}

Jul 21st 2008 1:04PM
FA's don't have the power to indict anyone. However if you interfere with our duties, or become violent(This is federal law by the way) during a flight, we can have you detained by the authorities. If the case warrants it, the authorities can bring you up on charges, and then you'll face those charges in a court of law. This has nothing to do with 911. This was the case LONG before 911 happened.

Your posting style leaves a lot of doubt that you have much knowledge of anything, much less of security issues.

Galley Gossip: A question about tipping flight attendants {Gadling}

Jul 21st 2008 12:56PM We were told in training to politely refuse the tip, but if the passenger insist, we should gratefully accept it. I usually gratefully accept it, after I say, "Are you sure?" but that's just me.

"Ok, so is it's not your job to assist the passengers, then what is your purpose? I have been saying for a few years now that flight attendants are not really necessary"

OK, tell that to the thousands of passengers that had their lives saved by Flight Attendants doing CPR, or other first aid. Not to mention those that were saved by FA's evacuating a burning aircraft.

I hate to do this, but the old phrase "Flight attendants are here to save your a**, not kiss it!" Will suffice in your case.
