Now, I have never once minded doing any of this for everyone, as for the hotel log, it takes no time to complete and is easy to do! I'll usually write the van time on everyone's card and the room #'s for the captain just as a courtesy. What ****es me of though, is after helping everyone else out, when the log is passed back the flight attendants will roll their eyes and give it to me with the "I'm above doing that, let our FO b_tch" do it attitude! Once again, it's not the task of doing it, it's the freaking attitude! Now, I do fly with a load of good crews where this is never an issue and we all help each other out, lately though I seem to get the lazy-_ss do nothings. Sorry for the rant and I'm probably bit_ching about something I should be used to by now, but can't help it. By the way, if you happen to hear on the news tomorrow that a pilot has assualted a F/A by crossing a hotel clipboard across their head, that'll be me...cheers

How about FA's that refuse to open the cabin door, even though they arrive at the aircraft first? That kinda bugged me...if you can't do your job (opening the door would qualify as part of their job), then why are you here?
Do not let yourself get walked on. I had an FA tell me(not ask) I needed to carry her bag up the stairs. I told her I had a sore back and couldn't do it. She looked miffed when she saw me helping the rampie with the pink tags after a flight.
