Galley Gossip: In Defense Of Old And Weary Flight Attendants {Gadling}

May 2nd 2012 6:28PM Hahahahah LOVE the sarcastic humourous respond to cow-ard-ley heather!!. Give him a piece of your mind!!!(in a FA classy way of course). It's human psychology, you will never know the stress and pain of a job until you WORK in that job field. That's why I always treat everyone the way I wanted to be treated. I respect people who are good and passionate at what they do. SURE, there are lots of time when gate agents and flight attendants treated me not so nice but I still smile, say please and thank you, and of course hold my tongue but there's always a reason behind their action. Maybe a passenger pissed them off or maybe many years of abuse by passengers and mistreatment by their boss who knows? These angry people still get me ON a almost full flight on standby just because a "I really appreciate your help and I hope you have a wonderful day" I always buy crew gifts not because I wanna bribe them (I sleep the whole flight anyways) because I wanna thank them for their hard work because not alot of people DO appreciate for their work. I go out of my way to hopefully make a difference that maybe the sky can be friendly once again.
P.s. some of the nicest FAs I met were the FAs that were flying in the 50's on AA. Those ladies had seen EVERYTHING and just amazing:)
