Probably. I'm sure a lot of us are tools.
I still think you could do a bunch of funny things involving us that don't suggest we don't render a valuable service. The video in question can't be accessed anymore, but I didn't see anything in it that doesn't suggest our flight attendants are anything but valued, professional people that also know how to be funny. Nothing is done that lowers their worth.
The commercials Delta puts out do a lot to emphasize the people, and do rght by us, as far as I'm concerned. They carefully control the message. They just didn't find it important to find a way to be funny without doing at our expense.
I agree on one point: this isn't something to have a coronary over, simply a very low-key, nice opportunity for us to test the relationship just a little. Why not try the road less travelled on this one? When is the last time we stepped up and changed something we didn't like?
