Honestly, it probably depends on how many New York flight attendants can hang through the other side of this.

Hopefully not many..

Annnnd... we have a winner for TOTD.

Sorry to offend. I didn't know the Macdonald's workers turned FAs is one of your softer spots. Now that I think about it I did enjoy being able to hear every word of their maximum volume speaker phone conversations from the galley when I was trying to program the FMS.

I DH’d the other day and heard every word of their hour-long yelling galley conversation at cruise... from economy... over my noise cancelling headphones AND music. Not kidding; I’m stunned a paying pax didn’t complain. Beats the unemployment line, though!

This is when as a responsible adult you ring your call button and discretely hand the FA a note to raise their awareness.

HAHA. Not if you like your job. Zero chance HR would take your side after the offended flight attendants launch a fusillade of complaints against you.

Seriously? You are saving them a problem.

I don’t disagree with that at all, but I’ve also seen FA’s get really defensive with CA’s who had problems with actual safety-related issues on the trip they’re supposed to be a team on. It does make one feel pretty risk-averse, which also says a lot.

That's the sad reality. It is hard enough to herd cats on a flight where you are the PIC. Trying it on a deadhead? Just smile and nod. If the paying customers want to do something about it; that would be great.
