Galley Gossip: 10 gifts for flight attendants (and frequent fliers) {Gadling}
Jan 7th 2010 5:54PM Well Heather, you just proved a point I've made previously. Reading between beverage services?? A beverage service after takeoff and one prior to landing and the F/A's get upset that a "customer" would like something in between and disturb their reading!!! Sorry, I'm from the "old school" where the F/A's should be in the cabin assisting and comforting the customer or maybe even make conversation???? Yea right!!
Galley Gossip: The first class / orange juice passenger responds to what happened in flight {Gadling}
Dec 15th 2009 2:07AM Kyle, This psgr. should have been traveling with someone to take care of him. Those F/A's surely went "beyond" the call of duty. Very admirable.....

Galley Gossip: A memorable flight for a first time flier {Gadling}
Nov 8th 2009 1:37PM Heather....thank you for such a heart warming story. It shows that there are a "few" F/A's out there that still have compassion for the flying public, particularly children. It angers me these days, that with so little "service" (hand out a snack, a drink, clean up - on a 4 hour flight!) that the F/A's can't "find the time" to assist the poor mom with a crying child (instead of complaining about it) or actually talking with a psgr. who may have a fear of flying or answering that call light with a smile - instead acting like it's a nuisance and interrupting their "galley gossip" or reading the latest People magazine. You have to remember.....Mom's are extremely upset themselves when their babies are "out of control" crying. The baby feels that from the Mom and won;t settle down until they are possibly seperated for a few minutes. As a psgr. I have assisted mom's who are stressed. Their children calm down instantly. I once carried a crying baby toward the galley and the F/A's were NOT happy (AND the service was over and they weren;t doing ANYTHING! Oh, AND the seatbelt sign was off) The baby was returned sound asleep and a happy mom! PLEASE F/A's - stop complaining and show a bit more compassion , believe it or not, it IS VERY REWARDING in the end!!!

Nov 8th 2009 12:13AM Barry.....unfortunately these days the F/A's wouldn't notice if a passenger was choking to death... Their too busy reading in the back row and sleeping themselves! Believe me, I have proof!

Nov 7th 2009 11:55PM I must add...............when I found the crew asleep, they were NOT on a "long haul" or international flight. I mean a 4 hour flight!!!! NO EXCUSE!!!

Nov 7th 2009 11:40PM P.L............you explained that very well. I have also gone into the cockpit many times to find at least one crew member asleep. Any time I would have a break from the service I would go to the cockpit and tell a funny joke or give them fresh coffee. Have to admit though, no matter how long the layover is.......it CAN get boring in the cockpit - heck, I'd fall asleep under those conditions! The plane flies itself!! There is NO question amongst flight crew members, that they were sleeping!!

Nov 7th 2009 11:29PM Hey "S". I don't think the F/A's should be called "on the carpet", but do agree that they should at least check to see if the pilot's are okay. We used to do that in the "old days", (mainly to keep them from calling us in the middle of a service) but unfortunately, the F/A's barely take care of passengers, let alone the crew these days!! THE PILOT'S WERE SLEEPING!!!! End of it.....................
