Dude, don't take it personally. You guys talk smack about us I am 100 percent sure. We deserve it. Pilots are the worst, honestly. I can't stand many of us.

The fact is, your workgroup is in dire need of a complete training and standardization overhaul. The license to pick up the PA and do or say whatever comes to mind had a good run, but it's repelling customers and alienating employees. Uneven application of company policy is also harmful to the bottom line.

Not saying that it's you. I am sure you are great as are about 60 percent of FAs I encounter. I am on day 2 with an amazing crew right now. It's just a few of FAs (and pilots) that give the rest a bad name. It's the reason you guys get treated like children despite most of you acting like adults. Cheers to you and all you do...I couldn't do it. You guys are out there taking the shotgun blast to the face and making it all work. I just wish inflight corporate would get their act together and realize it isn't 1971 any more. Pilot training and standards have come a long way in the last 5 years. Y'all can do it too.
