So the captain and I are walking towards the gate behind the flight attendents this morning and all three look to the right, slow down, shake their heads and start cackling about something.

We get to the aircraft, perform the 'first flight of the day' checks on the aircraft and one says...

"Did you see that?!"

We think for a second.

"What?"

"That woman doing shoe shines dressed like a strumpet!"

Well, the captain and I saw a shoe shine lady, very nicely dressed with a leather smock on, talking to men as she's shining their shoes and in the background some Mozart is playing.

"Sure! Hell, if I had five bucks I'd have my shoes shined too!" the captain said.

"I can't believe it. She's dressed seductively (?!) playing music shining shoes. Just a blatant attempt at getting a tip. You know why those guys are lined up!"

"A shoe shine from a pretty lady?"

So as I'm munching on my breakfast reading the PDC, I think...

Lots of business.

Happy customers, some even waiting in line for a shine...

Smiling, happy shoe shine lady, getting paid extra for providing good customer service...

Seems like a nice, relaxing environment in the morning with the classical music...

Not a bad looking lady wearing a tasteful, but not chaste, dress and a little bit of leather.

I dunno. Mostly an incomplete story, but I thought I'd share it!
 
Doug, the real question is what did the FA's look like perhaps they are just jealous! Kidding, Kidding, I know I can't ask that!
 
mmm I wonder if this is in salt lake.. maybe i'll head over to the terminal and find out (j/k)
 
this thread is worthless w/o pics.

it's obviously worked for airlines too, just look at the good old days of skimpily (is that a word? LOL) dressed FA's in print ads.
 
You know, Doug, this post made me think about the guy that I fly the 206 for.

If he wants to go to Atlanta on Monday morning, I start working on Friday.

When he gets to the airport, the plane has been pulled out of the hangar. The doors are open, the cabin is freshened up, aircraft is fueled, flight plan is filed, and the doors are all opened and reday for baggage.

I meet him and any other PAX at the terminal, and help them carry their bags to the line.

I load the airplane.

I make sure that the FBO in Atlanta is ready for us long before we get there. Heck, they knew we were comming Sunday night!

Rental car? Heck, it's on the ramp running with the AC going and trunk open!

However, I've been accused of kissing up . . .

For $200/day, plus meals, expenses and incidentals, what am I supposed to do?:)
 
How did this post make you think of the guy you fly the 206 for??

Are you dressing in sexy clothes and leather when you're flying for him!?? :eek: LOL!

(I get it guys... the whole customer service thing... just bustin on Lloyd)

....why do you think I'm HERE :o

just wait, some day on of you working stiffs will become a hiring captain somewhere, and we'll ALL be in! MUWAHAHAHA!!!
 
Doug, I was nonreving home the other day and was seated next to a F/A that was nonreving also. She did not know I was though. At the end of the flight the F/A got in the aisle and the lady behind her accidently touched her with her bag. The F/A got really mad and snapped at the customer for touching her with the bag. I was just shocked at how the F/A was reacting to a customer while in uniform. That's when I thought to myself "where did the customer service go?"


I thought I might have had the oppoutunity to meet you that day since we were flying on a 90. Maybe some other time.
 
Check out the McDonalds at the insersection of E and F concourse at ORD. That is where the customer service is, folks.



....if you like rage with your chicken selects.
 
I had a chance to use the line "When you two ladies are done fighting, would you ming if I got the smothered chicken and an unsweet iced tea?" at Popeyes at the airport! :)
 
The crew at Wendys in C concourse need to take anger management classes, although it was cool to see all 10 or so customers in line shake their heads with disgust in unison.

It kills me to think that since ATL is a major international crossover point into the US: many of our visitors first impression of America is ATL customs that screws up your passport (it's ok, just stamp it anywhere, bubb), the people at the food concessions thinking that "Loud English" translates into all languages and blasting CNN at 90 dB in the gate area.
