This whole thread confirms:

"Immature Children who are willing to fly for 20K a year".

For gosh sakes leave the poor girl or guy alone. They are the one who has to deal with up to 50 people by themselves on those ungodly schedules that you are dumb enough to fly for. You SHOULD be showing that person in the back some respect and make their job EASIER.

Second to that Walt...I've only had one mission where we had flight attendants for our DV and I loved having someone on-board who cooked and looked after me.

You all understand that you have only one line of defense beween you and your walking boxes, right?

Spare us the lecture. In this line of work you have to play around or you will go crazy. Everyone knows we are the CREW ie TEAM ie CRAZY PEOPLE IN CHARGE OF AN AIRPLANE. It is more than possible to joke around and remain completely professional and respectul... I know, I do it on every trip.

IronWalt and AFPirate,

I am sure that you guys are were model students all the way from the nursery until you graduated with your double PhDs from Harvard and Yale which you attended concurrently and you are now the model citizens that all of your friends and family attempt to emulate.

We here on this regional board can but dream of ascending to your celestial status. While wer are still earth-bound, please allow us to have some fun. If this thread is below you, and I'm sure it is, you can ignore it.

Convince the F/A that you forgot to check the brake-lights on your walk-around and have him/her check them for you while you hold the brakes. Ten-points if you can pull it off.

Tell them you have a lav overheat light and make them toss all their ice in the toilet (warning not responsible for damage to your airplanes plumbing)

Interupt their list of available beverages with Dr. Pepper, Mug Root beer, Old English malt liquor, etc.

Had a captain tell me a story about way back in the day they had a new flight attendant and convinced her on her very first day that when they rang the imminent landing chime she had to come up to the flightdeck and put the gear down.

She did this for the whole month (same crew) and they never told her it was a joke when she changed crews for the next month.

I would have loved to see that next captains face when she came up and put the gear down on that first leg...

I heard this one from a buddy of mine. "Ladies and gentlemen, if you look outside the right window, you'll see the tiny town of Wedlock, Texas. Our flight attendant (insert name) was raised just ouside of Wedlock."

Another one - wait for a cold day, and welcome everybody aboard. Remind them how cold it is, and let them know that their flight attendant XXX makes the best cup of hot cocoa. I'm not even sure if anyone carries hot cocoa, but when he told this story, the FA had to mix every cocoa individually, and it was a pain. The crew would take bets to see how many the FAs would have to mix on a given leg.

Tell them you need air samples from throughout the cabin. You have them take a small trashbag and do this and tell them to tie it off when they are done and keep it until landing. When you get to the destination, tell them they need to turn it in to the gate agent.
