”Stay seated, wait for my call. It might be about 30-40 min before we are in smooth/light turb air. Once I call you, you can stand and do your service, but I’ll keep the sign on so you don’t have people going around everywhere”.

Most of them understand that we know they are working and appreciate the thought. My job is to move the pax and FAs safely from A to B. If they don’t want to do their service, that’s out of my hands. I also understand, the 321 in the back is completely different than upfront.
