After the afore mentioned PA, of course!
Why don't we ever get to huddle for excellence?
Anyways, the decision tree should incorporate the do's and don'ts... which are really a collection of never's.
- Never say you're sorry,
- Never admit to being wrong,
- Never admit to not knowing something,
- Never admit you broke it or it's your fault,
- Never stick around if the flight is cancelled,
- Never say the words ****, *****, **** or *****,
- Never look a passenger in the eye if you're lying because they'll assume you're coerced into saying it,
- Never say that their bags won't be there or get right back to them as soon as they get to baggage claim,
- Never say "folks",
- Never use boring adjectives,
- Never stare at the most attractive woman in the gate house longer than is necessary to convey sincere loving empathy,
- Never return to the gate house immediately following notification the flight is cancelled,
- Never yawn mid sentence,
- Never come back up the jetway after the flight is canceled if there was another jetway you could've walked up,
- Never say uh,
- Never forget to inform passengers that they can hit their flight attendant call button to help us identify those concerned about a late arrival,
- Never say can I help you?,
- Never forget to bid,
- never forget to take the opportunity and explain if they'd only done it your way,
- Never forget to say that the flight attendants have your flight information and can provide guidance on what to do next,
- Never look happy,
- Never pass gas loudly,
- Never give up.
