I heard a rumor of a SWA FA about 7 or 8 years ago who had a trivia contest. He/she (not sure, it was a story) asked people to ring their call button if they knew who the latest winner of American Idol was...almost all call buttons went off. The next question was, "name one of the most recent Medal of Honor recipients in Operation Enduring Freedom." Not one went off. Would love to get verification on this story.

Another XJT story......
Had one FA that legit thought she was running a high-end travel service and we were there for her. Legit during the crew briefing she cuts off the CA and says something to the effects of "I know what I am doing....everything behind that door is mine....no PAs, no dings, no nothing. You just fly the plane and get my customers to their destination"

Anyhow, this particular FA was like 25.....I wasnt new by any means.....and she was sharing websites and memes to support her theory and getting really offended when me and the CA told her that was not something to be spreading around pax, so....... you tell me? :-)
