Galley Gossip: Advice for the employees of US Airways {Gadling}
Nov 6th 2009 2:13PM KATRINA - As far as I know it won't. "In shock" stated that the base closures won't happen until early this year, and your flight is in January, so I wouldn't worry about a thing. Just because the bases are closing doesn't mean scheduled flights won't be taking off. The airline will probably create trips for crews to lay over in the cities that are no longers bases for employees in order to man those flights. If there is a problem, and I doubt there will be, the airline, I'm sure, will call you to inform you of any changes.
Galley Gossip: How to get free beer in flight {Gadling}
Oct 20th 2009 6:48PM Thanks for pointing that out, Steve - er - InkspotD. Unfortunately the only thing being "thrown back" around here are sippy cups of milk for the kid between unpacking and packing my bag. My bad. Again, thanks for pointing that out. Will look into it and make the correction if needed.

Galley Gossip: How to get free beer in flight {Gadling}
Oct 18th 2009 11:12AM :::groan:::
Some posters are missing the point. INSTEAD of stealing it or expecting it for whatever reason, possibly assisting in our everyday customer service issues, a COLD ONE will probably come your way.
I assisted with a wheelchair passenger other day, he took the wrong seat. He looked at his second flight of the day boarding pass. That said, 8C. He should of been in 20C. The man who was rightfully booked in 8C said he would move to 20C. And, for that, I offered him a BEER. Why? He could of demanded his seat assignment for whatever reason and have the elderly man struggle down the aisle, but HE DIDNT. I caught that compassion in him. He saw he had a cane, etc and helped out the situation. The inconvenience was lessened by him being compassionate.
Don't ask! Even if you think you deserve it:
We've heard every excuse in the book. I'm NOT saying there are no valid excuses, but there's plenty of them that dont muster up to the "let's see what I can get free" mentality of passengers. Ever see someone try to explain their way into an empty first class seat?
Be Polite. Saying please and thank you and making eye contact actually goes a long way
Can you imagine? A beer for actually being nice. After saying hello to many passengers boarding and receiving little to no acknowledgement, I "remember" that individual who had the decency to return my welcome. Not sure when manners became obsolete, but I always comment to parents who teach their children to say thank you and please. And, I thank the kids too. Seriously, when did GIMME.............gimme a coke, gimme a pillow become proper etiquette?
this article reflects the way, we as flight attendants may reward you for your kindness. It's a small way to give thanks. It's gratitude. And gratitude comes from the heart.
