Galley Gossip: A question about flight attendant buddy passes {Gadling}
Jul 10th 2009 12:26AM LOL
We (friends/fa's) were talking about this just the other day. Someone sitting in the last row of my best friend's plane asked how he could get her to give him some tickets. There is just something so annoying about people requestion tickets from you ...
Especially family members you haven't heard from for years.

Galley Gossip: Airline uniforms (plus a chance to win free tickets on Olympic Airlines) {Gadling}
Jun 6th 2009 1:54AM I wear the same uniforms, and women without breasts should STOP wearing the red dress. I'd rather see a curvier girl fill it out and fit her body then see the red sash (that is suppose to be under the breast) below the belly button because it can't be held up.
Galley Gossip: The flight attendant was a mess! {Gadling}
Apr 18th 2009 7:40PM Being a flight attendant for the "new Delta" and working for the "old NWA" I can tell ya all the ladies (and gentlemen) are looking pretty damn sharp sense we got our new uniforms.
Simply put I think for most people, after wearing the same style uniform for almost 20 + years ... you kinda get over it and don't feel like there is anything else that can be done for yourself. NOW people are walking through our airports and smiling in their bright and new uniforms.
I am enjoying it completely! :D

Flight attendant blocks man from using bathroom - has him arrested {Gadling}
Apr 9th 2009 10:46AM Ok for one you are gross, and would cause many people to become ill.
For two that is childish.
Three - You'd be arrested as well. DUH.
As a flight attendant I am always more then willing to move a cart if it's in the way. UNLESS I'm in the isle then you gotta give me some time, lord have you tried to move a 200 pound cart alone before while someone is breathing down your back and their front parts are on your back parts?
Galley Gossip: The passenger didn't ask for much {Gadling}
Apr 7th 2009 9:25AM After a month off you've given me something to look forward to ... NOT. : x
Galley Gossip: Lindsay Lohan throws a fit when she's denied a first class seat! {Gadling}
Feb 5th 2009 4:16PM I worked a regional airline before the one I'm at now and my first celebrity was Bob Saget (yes yes I hear the snickers) ... but being that I am still in my twenties he was a great part of my childhood. My first thought when I realized who it was was "damn it he's too tall and will complain" the second thought was "Oh gawd baby in front of him, he is going to complain."
He was NOTHING but nice. Even played and cooed with the baby. If anyone knows anything about him it's pertty much his raunchy commedy show, I asked for his best joke and he more then willingly gave it to me and now I use it all the time.
He was my first brush with "celebrity" and for the most part they have all been kind and "normal" but some are just insane. : )

Galley Gossip: A question about being a flight attendant on reserve {Gadling}
Jan 28th 2009 9:46PM "In TACA airlines all the flight attendants, for example, always help the passengers with their luggage, so what is the big deal!!!!!!"
Hmmm well would you pick up a strangers 250 pound luggage and throw it in an overhead ben when they just brought it all the way through security and YOU HAVE A HURT BACK? I don't think so. I don't.
The pill and water thing, I don't care about giving anyone a glass of water. I just do it. I have a problem with everyone around them askign for it as well when they just walked through the whole airport.
AND just because we complain about our jobs now and then doesn't mean we hate the whole thing. You can't say you have NEVER complained about your job.
Galley Gossip: A question about being a flight attendant on reserve {Gadling}
Jan 28th 2009 9:42PM Great post Heather, Also it can be mentioned that not all reserves for each airline is the same. Which can be even more confusing for a regular traveler. Lol -
Crazy that you guys aren't trained for every plane! For my airline we were trained for six different aircrafts and so many different types of those aircrafts. : x Not to mention with the merge we are coming into they are already talking about how we are to be trained for the other side's airplanes. : x
Reserve sucks.

Galley Gossip: Where did the service go? {Gadling}
Dec 30th 2008 6:23PM "Thank you Heather!" Said by all Five of my roomates just a moment ago. You said what we all want to say when we read an article like the one above, instead I usually just get pissy and turn off the computer. Thank you again!

Galley Gossip: Be kind to your fellow passengers. Yes, that does include the ones who are overweight! {Gadling}
Dec 7th 2008 7:47PM Uncomfortable. - Oye, two missed letters and my whole paragraph is wrong.
Seldom does anyone stop to think. I know it can be uncomfortable for everyone envolved. BUT for the passengers sitting next to a plus size person while you may be unomfortable for a short two hours, harsh words spoken about the person next to you will make them UNcomfortable for so much longer.
