Flight Attendant Rant.

So, some of you guys like to be scolded? Interesting.....;)
Maybe THAT's why some of my pax unbuckle their seatbelts waaay before the CA turns off the fasten seat belt sign! :p
 
I like it. Although, I did notice it is quite long... With some of our taxi times, we'd be waiting at the end of the runway for five or six minutes just waiting for the video to end. ;)

Definitely an improvement!
 
Improve the quality of service (in more than one way), and attract customers that you actually want on your airline. Just an idea.

If I had to pay for a plane ticket, I'm seeking out the company that offers the best business/first class experience and customer service.

As far as the FA's rant. . .no surprise. Bitter old gal.
 
Doug, you should have looked up at her and deadpanned it: "So does that mean the hot FO set back first officers 50 years?"

The fing wagging and scolding is good...and can lead to a spanking.

I did not see anything over-sexualized about this. In fact, I can not imagine an era when this would have been over-sexualized. Have these FA's that were complaining never seen the old "Fly me" ads, or the hot SWA Stew in the commercial with the low flying jet? Those were sginficantly more sexualized that this. In fact, if they would sexualize them more perhaps people would watch and listen.

Ha, I wish it did. That means they would still be nurses on the aircraft and not just people trained in first aid.

You'd have to go back farther than 50 years for that. The requirement for stewardesses to be RNs was dropped in about 1942 as nurses were needed for the war effort.
 
I agree that it was too long...I was passed out 2 minutes into it. I thought the gal passenger sitting on the exit aisle (blue sweater) was hot though.

The same flight attendant that was complaining about the "look" of the FA probably went home after the trip and was watching Dancing with the Stars and was salivating over all the hunky dudes...we Americans LOVE attractive people so pretty sure DAL isn't going to put Rosie or Steve Buscemi on there.

I would have preferred the female FA demonstrate the manual inflation tube instead of the dude!!! :)
 
Did you see how short that Captain's sleeves were? As a male pilot it makes me feel like piece of meat. I think the video is way too racy and give it two thumbs down. :)
 
So ahh...when's it gonna be actually showing up? 'Cause I'm ridin' the widget twice a week and I haven't seen it yet.

Excuse me? Unless I missed it, where did Doug say she was "old?" Do you think younger women are incapable of being "bitter?" C'mon....:banghead:

Well it's southernjets and judging by the comment she made, yes she is probably old.
 
Don't assume.....Doug, how old is she?
I'm sorry, but I'm one of the oldest FA's at Colgan and I hear more bitching and moaning out of the young divas and princesses than us older women. You guys are killing me here..
 
yup. So my "work" this weekend was deadhead to ALB, overnight in ALB, socialize with you, sleep late, deadhead back to EWR and sit hot reserve there for 2 hours! Should I be bitter because I'm "OLD?" :p
 
"you're an evil man", how oversexualized the video is, how it set back flight attendants 50 years"

I highly doubt a young FA would make that statement. Now it could have been, I'm not saying it's impossible but chances are that she was older. You know how women are, the older they get the more better they are. ;)

Thanks!
Now my big question is, am I an • for saying "Hey! It was kind of entertaining!"? :)

Nope.

Frankly, I think it was entertaining and had a very attractive FA for a reason.

SO PEOPLE PAY THE @#%@#^ ATTENTION. Sheesh.

Who'd wanna watch some crabby scraggly burn out do the bare minimum and go through the motions of something that's not that entertaining to begin with? The traveling public has no belief in an actual emergency- they have utter confidence we'll get them there safely. So how do you protect them from their complacency? You give 'em something to watch.

In the 70s, my Mom was an FA as NWA. She told me once that they'd get entire planeloads of businessmen that would bury their noses in the newspaper and not pay attention to the safety briefing.

For a while, just to see if anybody would notice, when they held up the fold out emergency exit posters, they had Playboy centerfolds taped to the inside of them.

Nobody ever noticed. The FAs did it, and they thought it was funny, too.

That FA should get over herself. Sheesh.
