Want to change the image?? Stop being a cheap MF on overnights. The reason why hotel crews hate us? Cheap bastards.
CAs that won't break a buck out for the van driver. I am still amazed when I see this, seriously?!?! I see some hand a handful of lose change over. You know you're on a 4 day, get some singles or bum one from the other pilot and get him back on the next tipping round.
Tipping poorly is 1 thing, tipping poorly on the meal amount AFTER the discount is even worse.
I was thinking that most of this was from FAs, who are overall the worse with the above mentioned issues along with "I need a fridge" mania at the checkin desk, but as we stay at different hotels more and more now, seems to be a pilot issue too.
We can't do much to change the public image of the company outside of doing our job in a safe manner, but we can control how hotels view us. Don't want to be "those guys," so don't be those guys.
Funny you mentioned this. We get Into Boston the day of the blizzard and literally at the front desk for 20 minutes because the Flight attendant NEEDED,ABSOLUTELY NEEDED a ****ing fridge.........
It was really aggravating. We had to shuffle around rooms while guests where waiting because she needed a fridge.
Sorry, it's inexcusbale. I bring all my food on triips,even a 4 day and don't need a fridge. Canned fish/chicken, microwaveable rice etc........
Whats even more annoying is having to pay for the FAs dinner and alcohol because their credit card gets declined........it's ok they, they can call their credit card companies on their IPhone 6 to realize they maxed out their limit and haven't paid I. Two months. Absolutely embaressing...............
While I'm on a rant. Nothing ****es me off when a CA asks if I want anything at McDonalds and I ask for a coffee and he takes my dollar..........like really? I buy you a coffee at Starbucks, you don't offer me di-k but you take my dollar for coffee? Cheap f----
it's nice flying with the younger CAs, they seem to be on the same page and aren't anywhere near as cheap as the guys on the top of the payscale
