My fam was on this flight or I would have waited for WN, but I bought a ticket last minute, fairly cheap. Anyway, with my BOUGHT TICKET I boarded the plane, said hi to the FA and the FO was standing there so she introduced me to the CA. No big deal. Showed my stuff, thanked them for the ride and went back to my seat.
About 20 mins out the FA passes me and says the FO wants to see me after landing. OK. I go up after deplanning and the FO stands up, blocks me from the CA (in a manor that would suggest I was going to attack him!) and proceeds to tell me how I was rude and inconsiderate to the FA and if I ever wanted to get a FREE RIDE from them again I would need to learn some jumpseat etiquitte. I have been jumpseating for several years and never ran into anything like this before. I said Hi to the FA and the FO invited me up!! What was the FA freaking problem??
Anyway, I stood there dumbfounded about the whole thing and PO'ed as she told me they would have left me had they known I was so rude to the FA (again, with my PURCHASED TICKET). I really dont know what more the FA wanted from me, to show my badge and certs??
Not to be down on FA's. I really enjoy the vast majority of them and respect their job, i guess this one just needed a power trip that day. It still makees me mad.
Ok, Im done.
