Between the excessive PAs, the singing, the quirky not so funny humor, and some of the other just embarrassing stuff our airline does, I am way over it. I put a jacket over my uniform and don't wear my badge. I check in with the cockpit if I have the cockpit JS paperwork, otherwise, I don't identify myself in any way.
My new pet peeve is the 5am flight where they turn all the lights on full bright at 10k and make several loud PAs so they can get their drink service done despite everyone trying to sleep. Somehow OAL avoid this practice and no flight attendants die. It's like living with my college roommate who would wake up early and assume that everyone else should be awake too.
It's no wonder business travelers are hitting the bar early in the morning.
