Waited 30 min for the next van. We went down to the bar about 11:50, saw the cockpit crew across the room. I bought them a drink and thanked them for waiting.
I hope when you ordered their drinks, you asked for, 'extra spit'!

Completely understandable seeing as how they were already checking out 3 hours later than us while we were on a short layover to begin with. No good deed goes unpunished.
It happens...unfortunately mostly ATL crews.

I was at the front of the line at the airport desk at the Roosavelt after waiting about 10 minutes. I had commuted up in civvies, but had my ID hanging around my neck. ATL -ER Crew came in cut in front of me did their business and then wouldn't get out of the way. I didn't say anything until they were done. I don't think they were being mean, just mindless and self absorbed.

Hey senior 60ish guys, don't hit on the blonde 20 something at the bar while bragging about your "Delta widebody captain" status. That is all.

TOTD for me are fellow crew members who ignore your good manners when you greet them at report time AND for the entire trip. Nice job, Slick......hope you don't need any help from me, ever.

Once had a DH crew on board. The pilots exercised their 1st class DH privileges and their F/As were relegated to deep back in coach.

Not only did these tools leave the working crew behind when they grabbed the hotel van....They left their own F/As behind.

Hope they inspected their meals/drinks closely on the way back the next day.

That's when you wait until they leave and then scribble in 330am
Wake up calls on the sheet for them.
