How about that?

Although I'd pay good money to hear anyone call some of our FA's "sugar doll" with a straight face

Les Abend latest article's last two paragraphs. Perhaps not TOTD material, mostly the truth about his airline, but it is surprising he can write that and get away with it. I can think of several airlines in which that is a no-no and can get called in for it.

Ummm.... I'll have to get back on you on this one.

Millennial's. All those participation trophies have created the incessant need to be acknowledged, valued and appreciated.
A to B without bending metal, having some laughs and not pranging the landing is all I want myself.

Crabby/grumpy old baby boomer can't say "hi" because he oh so willingly gave out all those trophies.......

The original poster of that comment who you are so quick to judge made it clear in subsequent posts that he was referring to basic common politeness, something which eveidently escapes many of you.

It's just impolite. MY mother and father taught me to smile and acknowlege people when they speak to me. If one is standing there and greeting someone and/or says something nice, then the other should smile or say thank you, or whatever. It's flat out rude to not respond to someone greeting you. Yes, I understand that some people may have someting horrible on their mind, but let's face it, most do not at any given time. To NOT respond gives off the impression that somehow this is the old British Caste system in which one does not acknowlege someone of a lower Caste becasue, well, they're just not worthy enough to be responded to or acknkowleged. They're beneath you.
