Let's Tax Fast Food for Health Care Savings {BV Black Spin}
Jun 16th 2009 2:54PM I would assume that your friends are young and still in great health... No heart disease, cancer, diabetes, etc. I fly there weekly and the people I know hate it. They must wait months even for those seriously diagnosed. They instead chose to fly to the United States to get healthcare. Dental care and gum care in general is actually the cause of severe diseses yet when was the last time you saw a Brit or Canadian with good teeth? Not very often. Dental care is non existant. The only Government care I want is one where everyone contribute to their own helth care we get the same benifits as Senators and House of representatives... Great Care low cost! No predetermined physicains and no requirement of pre- detremined procedures.

Galley Gossip: What to do when the flight crew yells brace! {Gadling}
Jan 17th 2009 7:54PM Scully and I go way back... He is the pilots pilot. Always does a breifing, worries and cares about the crew and passengers and you always feel VERY comfortable flying with him. he started CRM Know as Crew Resourse Management that started at Usairways and was later intergreated and most if not all air carriers. I will have to say... with most major carriers changing flight crews during several flights we at Usairways EAST do not do that. We are with our crew the entire trip. This was the final leg home from a 4 day trip.... our crews"knew" each other and what to expect from the other. As a USAIRWAYS EAST employee I am so glad we still do this. Usairways WEST still does not. Can you imagine a flight crew and cockpit crew meeting for the first time on that flight? It would not have went to well. Despite all the hardships that the airline employees have faced over the years, this is an example of why the airlines need to respect thier "experienced crew" Our employees have been around longer than those who attempt to manage them. Some of us have been through 3-4 CEO's and yet they still do not listen.
I guess the moral of this post is that EXPERIENCE does matter. As far as the cabin crew, their experience was 38, 28, and 21 years of safety and service to our customers.
WTG DONNA, SHIELA, DORIS. Nothing more can be said about SCULLY and JEFF that the news media has not already said. WTG FELLOW CREW!
Galley Gossip: The second best thing about being a flight attendant - Waikiki, Hawaii {Gadling}
Oct 12th 2008 2:38PM Well...It used to be the overnights,pass benefits and the fexibility. Back in the days the hotels were not flea bags,we were treated decent, and there was flexibility awwww what a life.
Now that we are cash machines, the complaint department, get bed bugs at the dumps we stay and and NO SEATS to pass ride, I keep my job for the much needed medical benefits.
Put those breasts away: Woman asked to cover up while breastfeeding during flight {Gadling}
Aug 11th 2008 5:47PM You know what... It is common decency to cover up a bare breast even when an infant is feeding. Why does another person want to see you do that? I do not belive many people would want to see the sagging breasts any how... why make people uncomfortable in a public place? It is just being an exhibitionist with an excuse...
