And no, insisting on buying my dinner does NOT grant you a hall pass into my pants. Sorry.

Prude.

Prude.

Aren't I though? :laff:

They're taught to try to get pilots to pay for their meals or they're taught to slam-click pilots?

Both. You need to understand that IFS training was overrun with pilot haters. How do I know? It helps to be married to a FA who would come home from recurrent with stories of, "You wouldn't believe what they are saying about the pilots now."

I don't know, let me buy you dinner and I'll find out.

And base by base.

For some reason, on some of the ATL rotations, I always felt I was a snarky comment from getting whacked in the back of the head with a baseball bat!

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

A few years ago, a new hire flight attendant after a little sangria said the following, "Like I don't want to be here when I'm y'alls age... I want to work a sports charter and maybe meet a football player, or I don't know, maybe a baseball player because they're probably nicer, then we could get married and then it'd be so cool to meet all of my girlfriends down at Starbucks with the babies! Wouldn't that be cool y'all?"

Oh...

My...

GODSOMEONESHUTTHISTHINGOFF!

I don't think she survived probation.

Ha, maybe some of the "pilot haters" are in charge of screening applicants. The obvious factor in my rejection was my lack of non-collegiate, applied career experience, but perhaps it was also detrimental to list on my resume my second degree currently in progress (Professional Piloting).

That makes me sad, actually.

When I taught in the schoolhouse at Eagle, one of the things I stressed was that we (the pilots and F/As) were in this together, and that the pilots were not our "enemies".

Divide and conquer... perhaps. Or keep the workgroups apart so that those evil union pilots couldn't corrupt the F/As' minds and influence an organization vote.

I preferred to believe in the power of working together. And I tried to make sure anyone who went through my classes knew that.

It is sad, not just with the pilots and the F/As but with other labor groups in the airline industry, too. As only one example: the Northwest maintenance strike, no inter-labor group unity there. AMFA had to alienate ALPA and ALPA seemingly had to stick it to AMFA for doing so. What happened to the unity displayed in past years? EAL pilots sticking up for EAL mechanics comes to mind for one... it's a shame.
