Galley Gossip: Age, weight and height requirements for flight attendants (and why Christina Ricci could never be a Pan Am stewardess) {Gadling}
Aug 2nd 2011 11:29AM I can remember stepping on a scale in the middle of our office, filled with coworkers and management to be weighed, in front of everyone. My wieght was announced to anyone listening.
Once, behind my back a "funny-guy" put his foot on the scale while I was being weighed. I was shocked by the number (more than 10 lbs. what I actually weighed) and had visions of being grounded with out pay only to find out it was his sick idea of a joke. Still scarred by the experience.
The 10 Most Annoying Passengers, As Told by a Flight Attendant {Lemondrop}
Jul 27th 2009 8:10AM Keep thinking all flight attendants are there for is to serve drinks. That may be all you ever see them do, lucky you. But if you ever have the opportunity to see them do what they are trained to do you will be happily surprised that they can do a lot more than serve drinks!
Galley Gossip: The passenger didn't ask for much {Gadling}
Apr 9th 2009 10:28AM Trust me, we have passengers like these EVERYDAY and just because we make it look easy doesn't mean it is easy!
Airlines Won't Block 'Porn' on In-Flight Internet Access {Switched}
Aug 29th 2008 8:21AM It has been a problem for years. What is up with you guys? You have no sense. Keep your porn in private not in a public place like an airplane. Before the internet the "selfish" ones read naughty magizines. On one night flight we had a passenger sitting at the exit row, drewling over a naughty well-known mens' magazine (the name rhymes with "rustler")and finally after about 2 hours jumped up and ran to a lavatory in a huge hurry. We were preparing for the landing service and had parked a cart in front of the door right by the galley. He practically picked up the 250 pound cart to get into the lav! We know what you're up to so lets just agree that you will stop embarassing yourselves, save it for your hotel.
Galley Gossip: Flight Attendant Pet Peeve #3: You want me to do what? {Gadling}
Jul 17th 2008 8:12AM FYI: Each storage area on every type of airplane has a weight limit when it is certified by the FAA.
Galley Gossip: Flight Attendant Pet Peeve #2: Back to your seat, please! {Gadling}
Jul 7th 2008 5:11PM I agree completely Heather! Thank you for saying what we all are thinking in such a clever way! We all puzzle over the sock-soaking trips to the toilets and all the rest.
I once found a passenger reading my magazine--the one I paid the subscription for--the same one that was delivered to my mailbox at my house that I placed inside my totebag--at first I thought "Oh, isn't that nice, he reads the same magazine as the one I am looking forward to reading on my layover" Needless to say it was my magazine he took from my zipped tote bag!
To all you passengers who say in your comments that we should quit our jobs: Why should we quit our jobs just because we have a gripe now and then? Does every aspect of your job suit you to a T? Can we assume you never complain? Overall, my collegues and I take what you dish with style and a smile, allow us the little whine once in a while. ;-)
