In my humble opinion - some are *overthinking* this issue.
I'd rather my FAs have this type attitude than most I see in real life.

I also know there are some cranky FAs out there, but in my travels I've found that 99% of the time IF one acts with respect and cordiality (hope that's a word!), you will be treated the same way.
I agree with both of you.

Unfortunately often the times you "target" one demographic with an advertising or presentation style, you alienate another one. Try to watch this commercial without getting pi$$ed off if you are a man.

and if you are a woman, I'm sure those burger king testosterone commercials would also annoy the heck out of you. Ms. CardioMD doesn't like some stuff that I don't find irritating and vice versa.

The Delta video for some reason reminds me of that "Starship Troopers" fake recruitment video. It is just irritating to me. From the comments in the YouTube post and talking with fellow fliers, we are in the minority, which is why Delta probably went with it.
