Not the NYC ones. Flew with an awesome crew last week. Oldest one was 34 and we all went out. Had a great time. It is very rare though.

I'm domestic NY based ad I've had several very very good layovers with the FAs. But, typically, it is unusual for the entire crew to go to the hotel together.

Recently, I've noticed that sometimes our schedules are very similar, but we have different flights to the layover airport. Usually the FAs are getting there later than us. This way, you can still plan a dinner and a movie.

Yes.

You meant 50 or 60 tons...right?

Is it true they hire fa's by the pound?

RockyBoy

Yeah, wouldn't you? You get more for your money that way.

We've always called the 757 the monk jet at NWA............the FAs are either doing a turn or you are flying into a FA base and they dump you like a bad blind date and go home. But, I guess that leaves more $$ for me in the bar.

Carl is right about international. I just got into Narita last night and all the FAs were triple didget seniority #s and hit the hotel and bed. Once again more $$ for me in the bar LOL.

I was booking a flight for a friend who is airport/airplane challenged. It was pretty cool to see so many options ... connecting through MEM, ATL, or MSP.

And the tickets knocked the socks off the industry's darling.

Welcome aboard NWA !

either or, just as bad

We call some crabs.... not because of their disposition.

Because they have to walk sideways to get up the aisle. Not kidding.

Nothing is more annoying than sitting in an aisle seat getting a face full of butt which knocks your coffee over without an apology. On the Douglas jets they can't make the corner into the aft galley without swinging wide and knocking the passengers around. Worse, most wear uniforms the size they wanted to fit into, but it comes off like two greased piglets in tattered blue saran wrap. (Maybe you had to grow up on a farm.)

I guess the "good news" is that this is the latest and greatest about Delta, for now. I am not looking forward to the First Quarter numbers. But, or maybe I should say "BUTT" to remain in context, the third qtr should be nice.

You know how we have Atilla, fly around with less potable water and take other measures to save fuel, how about Weight Watchers for the whole flipping crew and Aerobics Equipment in the crew lounge? The F/A's eat the FC meals and the crew meals when they can, none of that stuff is really low cal if you know what I mean. Seriously, we could easily offset the weight of the winglets by removing the piglets.

Pure enjoyment. That and their cats. Got to see pictures yesterday. Had to bit me tongue.
