And the list goes on and on...................
True Story, happened this past week on a IAH-LAX leg:
One of the "CO-Stars" sitting in the big seat up front took it upon himself to ring the FA "come here" button to show her....via his IPhone....that the WX to the west of IAH was "not that bad". He was curious "why the Capt." was electing to sit on the ground to further "his" delay while waiting for a reroute to LAX. When the FA called and told us this, I could see the veins in the Capt's neck begin to pulse!!....the Capt's PAX PA that followed was pure comedy, aimed very much at our friend in first class. Wish I could have recorded it!
I guess we can take the
SAFE out of "Safe, Comfortable, and Reliable service". Darn'ed is we do, darn'ed if we don't!!
