You haven’t come across the jackass that wants to play victim and is just looking for someone to be their victimizer. By the time you figure out who they are, you need a lawyer.

You help when you can and when you can't, which is 99% of the problems, "I'm sorry. I am not trained to help with that. I can direct you to someone who is."

the amount of fear some of our pilots express about dealing with the public is hilarious.

The flight attendants are trained to deal with the pax. We are not. If a pax won't listen to a FA's instructions they are gone. I don't need to go talk to them, and doing so would only serve to discredit the authority of the FA's as well as providing material for social media.

I’ve flown with a few pilots that could have used more of that fear. Some pilots really do have zero people skills.

​​​​​​No one is asking you to go play referee. But you also don't have to be afraid of them.

I don't think anyone here is afraid of them. They're just saying when there's a disruptive passenger it's best not to personally engage them yourself. Why are you so extreme?

This. I’m not afraid of interacting with passengers. But it’s simply not our job to get involved. This job is so much easier when you sit back and let other people do their jobs.
