Frankly ... dealing with the passengers is difficult enough.

IMHO, dealing with their co-workers is probably the final straw.

 

 

Did not happen. Posted as a rumor on the flight attendant side of Delta net a while back. Attrition was something like 50 total.

 

Actually, I don't wear them very much because I tend to run a little hot, so I tend to roll them up anyway. There is nothing to "get". I find it really fascinating that there is this undertone of "toolishness" for about those that wear long sleeves. Those that have that attitude are childish. And I understand that some of you feel that we are nothing more than bus drivers, and in your opinion it is perfectly acceptable to act accordingly. It is funny that when the subject of compensation comes up, somehow we magically transform into irreplaceable gods. It's a package deal. Either you are a "professional" in all aspects of your working life, or you are not. If earbuds, colored hair and flaunting your disdain for the company required uniform is OK with you, then you shouldn't be surprised that you are not taken too seriously in other aspects of that working life. It's your choice. I really don't care.

The cute ones snagged their well-to-do first class passenger sugar daddy.

 

^^^^^

Flew a trip that had a newhire from NYC working with 2 very senior FA's from ATL. They treated that poor girl like crap.

They were giving her a bad time about her uniform being "too revealing". I guess she altered the top or something and they thought it was too tight. I so wanted to ask if they had altered their size 38 pants to be tight to show off their 35 years of 4 first class meals and all you can eat Kit Kat's every leg.

 

Anything on when we can really expect the AE award?

 

In 4 to 6 hours...no, days...no, weeks!

Well, 4 to 6 Somethings!

 

Exhibit A ^^^. What look are you trying to give with the rolled up sleeves when you're "running hot"--The experienced, over worked bus driver, or the bus driver who's got his swag goin'?

We're labor. Labor wears uniforms. We have our names on our uniforms.



I don't think our look is really factored into how much our contribution toward the bottom line is worth.

It doesn't for these guys and they wear uniforms.



That being said, I wear my uniform with pride; no backpack over the shoulder, no shades on in the airport; a hat on my head that's in good condition, and my jacket buttoned for starters. Short sleeve shirt under the jacket because the flying public doesn't give a rat's @$$.

/silly conversation

 

LOL, why do I feel like someone bid that DC-9 replacement? Taking a bit longer than told huh? ;(
