Galley Gossip: How to get free beer in flight {Gadling}
Oct 25th 2009 6:24PM I working a flight when a passenger came to the back galley. He proceeded to let us know he was a "big shot" and flew us all the time. Honestly I think this was his first flight ever in his life. He wasn't rude, and it was quite funny to have him ask how he could get a free drink. I told him to just ask me for one. He did and I gave him a free drink. He went back to his seat happy and I had a funny story to tell.
"Passenger created" toilet clogs delay flight for 10 hours {Gadling}
Sep 1st 2009 7:37PM I have a friend that works for a Saudi airline and he says this is all true. Many folks from bagladesh do not have modern toilet facilities. They have no idea what to do when they enter the airplane lav. They defecate on the floor, the toilet lid, and in the sink. So the toilet has to be the trash.
Galley Gossip: What to do when the flight crew yells brace! {Gadling}
Jan 18th 2009 6:24PM I work as a Flight Attendant. Whenever I fly other than work I always pay attention to the Flight Attendants when they do their safety demo. I learn how the doors open and where my nearest exit is. Folks usually pay attention when they think they are going to die. It's a human condition period. So folks do yourself a favor learn where, when and how to get off that plane BEFORE it leaves the ground.

Latino heartthrob kicked off Delta flight {Gadling}
Jul 23rd 2008 1:58AM I object to Brett's comments that Flight Attendants became butt holes after being given a little power after 9/11. The ones that are butt holes now were butt holes before 9/11. The ones are nice now were nice before 9/11.

Galley Gossip: A question about tipping flight attendants {Gadling}
Jul 19th 2008 11:46PM I don't accept tips on the airplane but am grateful when they are offered. I've had people stuff their tips in my shirt pocket as they are getting off the airplane. Reminds me of the time I was serving snacks during a flight and a passenger put her hand inside my pants pockets. I reached in and pulled out a wad of trash! I put it back on her tray and said "I am not a trash can" and continued with my service.
Passenger strips nude, tries to open an emergency exit door mid-flight {Gadling}
Jul 19th 2008 11:39PM This all sounds very dramatic. Reality is that the emergency exit door cannot physicaly be opened by anyone during any phase of flight. Of course folks don't know that and get scared whenever they see anyone close to a door.
