Do the FAs HAVE to put your meal on a plate? No.. they don't.. Is it nice? Damn skippy it is. It is civilized. You don't have to help put their bags in the overhead, and like Brocc said.. they should not expect you to.. but does it really hurt you in any way to occasionally do that? Hell.. just do it for the young pretty ones if you want to... I am guessing that you are exhibiting this bit of bitterness because you were furloughed.. and your solution is to take out your frustrations on those that truly pay your salary.. or those that you work with. Is that really where this is all going? Are we really that shallow? Do you really want a work environment where we all hate each other... your philosophy starts us down that road. And the last thing is... when we are going into section 6.. it will be in your own best interest to educate the other employees as to the situation rather than enter some kind of passive/aggressive staredown.. maybe they would be a little more understanding if they were a little more understanding. It's up to you.
