Those people don't particularly follow our TA contract drama. So it must be something else.
I'm listening...
A clean uniform and not wearing a backpack off the shoulder would go a long way. That said, as someone who always looked professional and felt like I treated everyone around me kindly, I was pretty tired of gate agents TELLING me that they are boarding the plane, getting mad at me personally for mx issues, mainline FAs saying, "Oh, who's that airline? You're just on those little ones?"
Etc etc.
I do agree, however, that some of us need to have personal pride before we expect it to be handed to us.
