I nominate all the Elite, Special, Precious Metal, Walk on Special Carpet flyers that have to line up in front of the door 30 minutes before the inbound flight even blocks in. I do enjoy watching them try to balance Starbucks, their $9 bottled water (that they HAVE to have) and the open laptop (so they can look important) while trying to take a call with the bluetooth in their ear. We get it. You're special and in First Class. NOW SIT DOWN!

Off topic, but Mooney, where does "Comair what is yo flagship?? Comair I did not copy yo flagship??" come from? It makes me laugh every time for some reason when I picture one of our non-crew employees saying it down in Memphis...

I farted in the flightdeck and asked the captain for a wind check. His response "it's a little chitty"

....aaaaaand SHUT UP! Believe it or not, you are NOT special enough for you to treat airline employees like crap AND yes, you too need to follow the instructions given in the safety demo.

Dude, gotta ask: what are they doing that affects you? why do you care if they line up 30, 60, 90 minutes early?

I'm happy to put up with minor silliness to foster some very valuable customer loyalty...which is what makes our world go 'round.

those HVCs pay for your kid's braces, your ex-wife's breast augmentation, your girlfriend's Lotrimin, and your mail-order knockoff viagra.

Richard Anderson: I hope you are reading this RJ tool's post. THIS is why you want nothing to do with outsourcing.

Maybe you should think about who, exactly, is funding your life.
