Would it be wrong to put a leash on an emotional support Captain? :p

Don't some of you FAs already have a leash on the CA?


:eek: :D:D

For sure....not that there's anything wrong with that! Right?!

:p

Had two emotional support dogs get into a fight in back two weeks. One FA was ready to punt the little one that kept snarling at her during the flight. She had my support 100%. Both dog owners were total azzholes and acted like it was the AIRLINE'S fault for not forcing other pax to move seats. Much faith in humanity was tried and lost that day.

Listen up numbnuts of the world: your dog does NOT need to go to Disney World! A dog does NOT need a vacation! Every day is Saturday when you're a god damn dog! Besides, dogs are too short to go on the rides anyway!

Simple economics and human nature.

A 2 minute internet search shows United wants $250 to ship your dog in a crate in cargo. Delta wants $100 to bring a small dog in the cabin as a carry on or $200 in cargo for larger dogs. In addition, Delta says you may have to drop off/pick up at the cargo facility, not the pax terminal.

Or, for $65 on the internet, you can get a certificate and fashionable "service animal" vest and avoid all the hassle.

Nobody should be surprised.

TOTD in my opinion is a shared prize today. Approaching the gate I was met by one of our flight attendants telling me that the agent cleared another airline's non-reving flight attendant into a seat on our metal while she was still without a seat despite telling the agent she was listed and it is our metal. I explained nicely to the agent that our people go first. End of story, right? 25 mins later, close to push, I notice that the offline flight attendant is in a seat up front and our f.a. is nowhere to be seen. Walked by up the jetbridge again to sort it out for the second time and myself and our f.a. are informed the f.a. jumpseat is available and that's where our f.a. can ride is she'd like to go. Well now it's a become matter of principle and doing the right thing and two people in the wrong ****ing me off. So we pushed minutes later with our f.a. in the back, the clearly in the wrong and knowing it offline f.a. standing angrily at the gate, and a gate agent reminded that we have policies they will follow. Had the agent and the offline f.a. been decent people and handled it better our f.a. would have gladly taken the jumpseat and gotten the other girl on. Unbelievable.

You pushed with the FA jumpseat open and an FA at the gate?

Are you self nominating today?
Why didn't the offline FA take the JS?

Did you even bother to read what I wrote? The offline flight attendant was at the counter the first time I was at the gate while I explained the priority to the agent after our flight attendant approached me to explain that the agent was REFUSING to process her non-rev seat request. She was fully aware one of our flight attendants was listed. She still went down to the plane thinking she was going to ride instead. Are you kidding me? Who does that? Our flight attendant told me after the flight that if the offline f.a. and the agent had simply just asked her politely if she'd take the jumpseat she would have. You appear to be an apologist for bad behavior and poor manners. Not me. The agent and the offine flight attendant worked together to try to force our flight attendant into the jumpseat. They never even asked her if she'd mind riding in it. Can you really not see all that's wrong with that?
You're my third nomination for the day.

Oh by the way, like many here I see you're an internet expert. Did you know that cabin f.a. jumpseating doesn't work like the flight deck? For instance, only our cabin crew and pilots can occupy the f.a.jumpseat.

Good on you. Taking care of your own comes first.
