Default State of the Airline

Helloooo Ladies

In the midst of my annual pilgrimage to Mecca and this morning they have The Landing all done up for State of the Airline. This place is buzzing after Bobby Ice announced shift to premium products and retrofits of 777-200. Nice to see some direction from mgmt for a change. Unrelated, the new hire groups look good and flight attendants still hate pilots.
Will be at The Tavern this evening if anyone wants an autograph.

Side note why do a large majority of FAs hate pilots at AA?

I’m not sure the answer. Perhaps it’s because we stroke our ego over and over again while they helplessly watch. Or maybe it’s because we complain about our long, hard careers, while making decent money (they know how much we make). In any case I hold no grudges or judgement. I brief as well I can and do my best to keep them safe in flight. Can’t win ‘em all.

Now excuse me as I have an angry gaping box, powered by wet red fluid, calling my name for the next 4 hours. I hope she’s ready for the Big Valbowski.

I don't think that's true.

I'm not 100% sure why but based on my scientific observations it is more or less the same as other carriers not really AA specific (comparing to other US companies not foreign).

20-30% get onto the airplane without saying hi. It adds more salt to the wound if they’re working #3 or if they’re in the hotel van. No offense taken by me. I just think it’s sour to treat fellow coworkers like that. I understand some may have been burned in the past by pilots.

This is fair… My buddies at Delta say it’s the same thing.
