Typically I like to drop the my bags in the forward galley, turn to the A line and say,
"Yo, take care of this!"

No kidding. Principle vs. $$$$$$ - $$$$$$ wins every time.

Did you ever notice a funny taste in your Coke when they hand it through the door?

When do you draw the line to bail ship?

It's nice to sit reserve in a fat category, but when they start to assign 10 SC a day, it's all a wash.

Good news! I just saw the short call projected times list and it says they only need 4 a day. Why would they deviate from that and assign 10? There must be a mistake.

"IROPS" :rolleyes:

As we all know with a operation this big there are IROPS every day somewhere.

With bases and categories all over the country they will flex on base (ATL and DTW 320) when another part of the system goes down.

I leave them on the jet way ask for the jumpseat and then stow where they tell me to. I ask the Purser and the Captain where they would like the bags. If they tell me the bins are full, down stairs I go.

When I DH I board early if possible and then try to stow them in crew storage, and or a closet. I generally will put the flight kit above my seat and my bag on a closet if available. If I have plenty of time from my DH to my operating flight and or I am going to the hotel, I stick the bag down stairs. If it is a International DH I put the bag somewhere in the cabin, as going down stairs to retrieve a bag can prove quite problematic.

Yeah, not sure what the deal was. Not a big one though. Just do what I am told.
