Rules? What rules? anic:It's fun to run amok in the airplane.
:laff:
Ah, so you're one of THOSE?
What do other pilots question?
Well, for starters--turning off their portable electronic devices. They don't listen to our announcement which clearly states they need to be turned off "PRIOR to closing the a/c door." When we politely ask them to turn them off, some crane their neck as if to check the door status. Then we sometimes get the "I never heard of THAT! We do it after the main cabin door is closed." OK, then Hotstuff, go fly on your own airline and not be a guest on mine then! Some will also turn them back on before the announcement is made that it's safe to do so.
Some also sneer at our "please lift your window shades for take-off and landing." Again, "we don't have to do that," mentality.
I'm not trying to be a bitch, but the rules are the rules, and imagine what the pax would think if we had different rules for them and jumpseaters?
Other crewmembers should be the most compliant and well-behaved, if you ask me. It's pretty disconcerting to me and other FA's to have to deal with bs like this.
Oh, BTW, it's not just pilots---for the most part they are a delight to have on board. I love engaging them in conversation (if they're not sleeping, of course!) about where they're going or where they've just been.
Some jumpseating FA's are as rude, if not more so.
