I thought she was a regular pax until I saw her lanyard. Was shocked she had the poor taste to wear a tank-top, jeans AND flip-flops when asking for a ride on jetBlue. Won't say what airline she worked for, but I'm surprised she wasn't denied. Guess jetBlue isn't very picky about dress code, but not the correct way to show up anyway.

Well at least she wasn't a book worm with a backpack full of books to hit you in the head with!:eek:

That is actually two separate TOTD violations, one for the dress code violation, one for just having the backpack

I heard this old story from a F/A:
A pax disregarded instructions and started rooting around in the overhead bin before the aircraft reached the gate. He dislodged a heavy item which bonked a very large person on the head. This VLP arose, grabbed the offender, and bounced him violently up and down while shouting "Didn't she tell you to stay in your seat?" :p

The Guard Guarder who kept stepping on the pilot trying to declare an emergency over Eastern Arizona this evening. What a jacka$$.

On guard you should said, "Delta knock it off, Delta knock it off."


On guard it would have been followed by:


Delta 241 knockit' off

Delta 731 knockit' off

Delta 55 knockit' off

Delta 1283 knockin' off

Delta 1142 knockin' off

Delta 942 knockin' off

Delta 451 knockin' off

Delta 478 knockin' off

Delta 692 knockin' off

Delta 2241 knockin' off

Delta 867 knockin' off

Delta 427 knockin' off

Delta 572 knockin' off

Delta 1988 knockin' off

Not necessarily. But you shouldn't wear them while moving about in crowded public areas and pretend that that they give you an oblivious shield to disregard everyone else. Wait until you're settled into your seat. Otherwise...tool.
