If you wanna be at the center of attention that much, just be a gate agent or a flight attendant.

Oh c’mon now. I think ALPA should declare a day of public visibility. EVERYONE rises to the level of this guy. Gate, boarding, pre departure first class PA, enroute, and arrival. Go ALL IN. Shimmying, hat removal, the full show.

Meanwhile the two customers at the gate just want to know if they can buy econ plus or get on an earlier flight.

Must have been good, because it’s down.


Let me guess, absolutely cringe worthy podium PA from a Ca that thought he was being funny, while wearing his hat? That’s the vibe of this thread.
