I have been on flight with NetJet crews , pax crews from other airlines and our crew...all in uniform. All on purchased tickets. No one introduced themselves. The cockpit or cabin crew could care less. And I have always been offered an extra meal or snacks without asking. My view is don't make extra work and you will be appreciated more. They can see you are flight crew....no need to beat it to death.

I don’t disagree at all.

When I introduce myself to the FA’s I do so by saying hello and moving to my seat. No big deal. I have never gone up front. My issue is with the poster who thinks it is appropriate to say something demeaning or sarcastic to a FA. I don’t care what the reason is, you have to be better than that when you wear a uniform.

If an employee is inappropriate, you handle it as a professional, behind the scenes. Not like some emotional juvenile. Handle situations when in uniform the same way you would handle a would handle a flight control problem in your aircraft. As a professional.

If you can’t control you emotions then please don’t travel in uniform. Just like other groups we are all judged by the actions of a few.

I am going to suggest the comment " check your manifest grandma" was under his breath and not outloud.....that said, board the aircraft take your seat and go to sleep. Uniform or not. I see guys in uniform going out of their way to call attention to themselves....unnecessarily. I think that is when the flight attendants do an eye roll. Just board, sit down, sleep.

It’s sad, but I counted. After taking into account repeats and repealed issues, we’re at about 65. Long ways to go guy.

It was entertaining rereading some of these old post. Shoutout to HackerbyDay and others.

How is Motorclutch doing these days?

What is it now 5 years without a new contract?

Sopie brought in to drive pilots away and he is successful!

Being forced to the middle seat by the company on a commercial dead head.
Mr. Soapy doesn't even have the decency to direct his underlings to take care of his pilots and not sit them in the middle seat on 4 hour deadheads.

They intentionally force people to sit in the middle as punishment.
