PAX#2:"You and your airline just ruined my vacation!"
Me:"Hello"
PAX#3:"Give me a number to call for complaints! I paid 15 extra bucks for an aisle seat, and they gave me a middle seat. Now they won't give me my money back"
Me: (Im still smiling) "How are you?"
PAX#4:"TERRIBLE!"
Wow! 140 more passengers to board! I think I'll go sit in the cockpit.
My first PA to the PAX:" Well folks Im terribly sorry, but we have no drinks or snacks for purchase because catering never came. And managment doesn't care. They want us on time. Oh and by the way, theres no toilet paper."
Thats why I stay in the cockpit.
Now I may sound a little harsh and disgruntled, but this is an average day for me. This management blows.
Im not going to be the one to stand up for our management, cuz they dont deserve that, but I cant help but feel that you are stretching the truth here just a little. I would say the majority of the passengers I see get on the airplane are nice people, I say hello and they smile and say hello back. Im sorry you have had such bad experiences, maybe you do to many fll-lga flights
