This thread reminded me of a classic movie clip/line…

I'm sure they'd hang up and confirm that you are indeed in the "5%".

The Credit card is awful when airline does it no doubt .

but the 90000 announcements about the Mask policy is way above and beyond .

the people see it when they click to purchase the ticket , then check in , then TSA , then the boarding area , then the FA pre boarding PA , the sometimes the captain , then through 10,000 MSL another PA .

it’s enough , if they aren’t doing it after the first 2 times then they won’t . Move on

Some make thousands a year. A friend at an unnamed airline said he knew of a FA who made $30k a year!

why are some of you people so spring loaded to be A holes? There is nothing but a desire to make the flight better for our pax, and be supportive of our F/A’s in the process. As far as the idiotic 5% comment, that’s saved for the scabs.

I agree that the advertisements and never ending mask announcements are annoying, but if you want to make improvements to our product, a better path would be to address those writing policy rather than those who are required to follow it.

On another note, be thankful that there probably aren’t enough scabs left to total 5% of the group.

I usually ask them to say it all again since I usually miss it the first time thru.

Caring about what though? Customers value low ticket prices and a nonstop barrage of marketing is a way to help them get what they want. How would you suggest saving them money?

The other stupid thing that ****es me off when commuting is turning the cabin lights on full blast during descent, for no reason.
