A flight attendant reads the riot act about idiot passengers, with these seven do's and don'ts: http://www.budgettravel.com/bt-dyn/content/article/2009/05/06/AR2009050603392.html?wpisrc=newsletter. Fair enough and points taken. I'm on board (get it? get it?) with calling out nimrods who screw up stuff for everyone else and it's a constant source of amazement at how careless and unthinking and sometimes inconsiderate people can be while travelling. That said, Miss Uppity Flight Attendant, I'd like to mention a few things about your fellow comrades in arms (note that the following generally does not include employees of Southwest Airlines who typically embody a positive and helpful attitude). First, I know that you're burned out, you're still doing this because your husband dumped you for a newer model, you're ass has broadened out to the point where only curtain ring salesmen are hitting on you, your sorority sisters don't have to work and can get lifts and tucks done every six months, and the A/C is out on the '01 Volvo and you can't afford a new compressor and that's not good if you're working out of the DFW hub. I know all that. But, that doesn't mean you can have a snarly, don't give a shit attitude and expect me to fly your goddamn airline-- are you hearing me American Airlines and your legions of pissy employees? Good. Maybe think about doing something about it. Also, it wouldn't hurt if you managed to bump a few of your grouchy old crabs for some newer versions; sort of like this young lady. Just saying.
