Not a Good Time with NWA Flight Attendant

You're not flying enough if you still want to look out the window rather than have a seat to yourself! Best sleep I've had was last row in a NW DC-9!

Maybe its just that I'm at UND where being a pilot isn't cool, but I actually avoid having people find out I'm a pilot, especially on an airline. Why you might ask? Cause then you get a billion stupid questions. First one to come is "if something happened to the pilots, could you land the plane?"

My attitude is simple. There are so many more interesting things about me than my ability to fly that I don't think it's all that important to talk about! Sure, it's part of me, but there are a bunch of more interesting aspects to me.

you should see his off-road driving ability... :D

I know...his co-pilots got him stuck....

keep going, plenty of room, a little more.....ker-plunk!!!!! That will do it.
 
She did nothing wrong by asking. Like my old man used to say: "talk is cheap, it never hurts to ask." So she asked and instead of getting a polite "No that's not possible" she got a smart-ass answer from a b-i-itchy flight attendant.

Obviously not every passenger can have a window/aisle seat. But as a paying customer she is entitled to some courtesy and some customer service.

If I'd only known that 10 years ago, I could've saved so much time and money. :(

I spent all of highschool convinced that chicks would eventually dig me cause I was a pilot, boy was I wrong. Turns out I just needed to gain 30lbs of muscle for them to love me. The ladies do not dig a skinny pilot...

And said courtesy and customer service was given when she wasn't escorted off the airplane for making a scene like she did.

I emailed the thread to a couple of FAs I know.

I ain't reprinting the responses, although it was nice to learn a few curse words in French. Now when I want to curse, I can do it in French, and then when I say excuse my French, it'll be accurate!

But, that did come before the apology, so maybe they'll change their minds once I reply back to them.
 
I know this thread is on page 6, but I just read it for the first time.

All I can say is, "HOW FREAKIN' PETTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

You obviously need to commute to/from work for a while. I'm happy as a 'pig in poo' when I get a middle seat between two 600 lb. men!!!!!


Jeeezzz. Amazing.
 
Just remembered a funny story....I was on a Delta flight once sitting in first class and the flight attendant was going around asking people if they wanted dinner. She asks me and then turns to the guy sitting next to me and asks him, "Sir, would you like dinner tonight?" The guy responds, "What are the choices?"....the FA without missing a beat say, "Hmmm, let's see....choices are, to eat or not to eat." He felt like such a jackass and the FA and myself had a great laugh.
 
I was going to go off on a rant but I've decided I just don't care anymore ...




... If you look out of the left side of the aircraft you'll see a large ditch ...

Guys (and gals),

This got sticky and way out of hand and I didn't mean to make such a huge deal out of it. Apologies to everyone.

I know I've made an ass out of myself and I can see that like night and day. As I said before, everyone makes mistakes and I am not immune to this. I made a mistake (which I do often!!!) and I've learned from it.

I still debate as to whether it's best to learn from trial and error or otherwise. This wasn't pretty but I still learned.

If the flight attendant was here I'd buy her a drink, or bake her cookies. Or something. And to those of you who may have gotten upset, please accept my apologies for putting a bad spot on your day. I hope one day I can do something to make your day better instead of worse.

OK, this is fleshing out the story about the garbage bag/luggage incident. You were just upset because he wasn't interested in all your interesting aspects!

Well, he smelled bad, too.:)
 
I also don't like to tell anyone I'm a pilot... I prefer, "I fly airplanes", as an answer to an occupational question and only if I have to answer it. Then, I try to change the subject as fast as possible.

I've seen people use the pilot-card to try to pick up girls, but most just respond, "oh, so you go and sleep with girls all over the country? Probably got an STD." (I've seen it happen)

So what you're saying is that they find out faster? :)
