From: DOWNGRADE COMPLETE: Thanks Gary. Thanks SWAPA.
Default SWA FAs

Is it just me or does this airline have some of the neediest, high maintenance, fragile, and PIA flight attendants out there?!

This is my fourth airline and I don’t EVER recall having to devote so much attention and care to the back end crew during normal line ops.

The obvious disclaimer goes that not all are like that but my word......

Ridiculous already.....

Any particular base or is this just an overall observation?

Is it just me or are former AirTran pilots the most PIA and complaining people ever. They have it great yet only seem to see the negative in everything. BTW I am totally serious - I know several former Tranny pilots, and they are like that.

Also, I fly regularly on all the major airlines, and the SWA F/A's are the best (Delta a close second)

Hmmm, I wonder if they say the same about the pilots!

If we hired more 1500 hour fighter pilots we wouldn’t have to hear as much jaded *****ing from highly experienced dudes

This is my third airline and when I make comparisons I have to say, they expect a lot because they give a lot.

I have seen more genuine concern for all crew members on both sides of the locked door at SWA than previous gigs. I have bent over backwards to help when I can and that favor has always been returned in kind.

It is generally a two way street in my opinion and I feel like in most circumstances I have always gotten as much or more than I have given.

Well said. Yes, there are some who are a PITA and they all know who they are.
Same can be said for us. I have gone in the back before and apologized on behalf of all pilots for some of the bs that I have seen from captains among our ranks.

And right on cue -

Whack doesn't get any traction on this thread and not surprisingly - completely disappears.

Tranny's anyone?

Whack has most likely read all these replies, just doesn’t realize that those all those luving and giving FAs actually make or break the customer experience that helps sustain the awesome reputation (and contract/paycheck) his airline has!
