A note of apology to the helpful, dedicated flight attendants out there {Gadling}

Jul 24th 2008 2:01AM What manner of idiot are you exactly that you think Flight Attendants are "service" people? The trained Flight Attendant is a member of the airlines' safety personnel. If a fire were to break out, would you know how to put it out and exactly where the extinguishers are? If a flood were to occur, would you know where all 3 of the emergency water shutoff valves are? That's right, you don't. The Flight Attendant is there to ensure that the flight gets to the desired destination safely. Their purpose is NOT, I repeat NOT to help you lift your luggage. If you cannot lift it yourself alone, do NOT expect for them to be able to. Check the bag and be a man. Stop complaining.
