On a recent commute on us, the CA was at the door at boarding, helping people to their seats, gate checking bags!! and wanted go be the hero retrieving a left behind laptop at TSA. He was pushing wheel chairs upon arrival and had blue gloves on before I even got out of my seat. He was a check airman, but clearly also wants to be a FA, gate agent and wheelchair pusher.
Utter embarrassment! Have some f'ing pride in your profession!
I totally missed this one. Whoosh. Right over head. I was like,”stand ups?” I haven’t done those since ACA in 2002!
PAs. Got it. My experience (3 yrs this month) is that I have not seen a face to face pax announcement since the week after my IOE. Seriously. I can’t recall in the last three years how many times I’ve seen one. 3 maybe.
