He seems to be quite comfy in his hot pants and halter top camo’s, reportedly posing for pics and smiling at the camera.

I say more power to him, but a trip to ROSS should definitely be on his ‘to do’ list!

As an every-week flier, I appreciate what you do for a living. I really do. I can’t imagine how frustrating it must be to know that 50% or better of what you say over the intercom is ignored; or what it’s like to have a 6’4″ healthy male ask you to stow his luggage for him. Or how many elite fliers who should know better make unrealistic demands because they are the single source of revenue for the airline. I’ve always wondered what it is that makes otherwise intelligent, self-sufficient adults to turn into complete morons the moment they step onto an airplane. And bitch. And whine. And complain. I mean, it’s a couple hours out of our lives for a simple flight. When you compare the number of instances of multi=hour delays and in-flight issues like severe turbulence to the number of flights that take off and land in the U.S. everyday, it’s astounding. Flying is really a simple, relatively convenient way to get 1000 miles in a couple hours.

In fairness, there are a lot of FA’s who simply need to find something else to do. I know the FA’s primary role is for my safety. But, serving drinks is still a part of it too, and it’s part of the job that each FA knows they have when they sign up. So is an occasional walk through the cabin. The “I’m here for your safety and have to be vigilant” stuff loses all its credibility when 3 FAs are hanging out in the back of the plane complaining about work rules for half the flight, or when I walk to the rest room and the FA is busily engaged in sudoku. Of course you should have some rest; but I don’t think asking for a second glass of Sprite Zero classifies me as difficult – which is how I’ve been made to feel. Those who really hate all the requirements of being a Flight Attendant should find something else to do; just like those who can’t climb on an airplane and treat fellow human beings with respect should head to Greyhound or drive themselves.

Of all FA writings I’ve read, yours is in my opinion one of the best ever. You’re thoughts are balanced and are obviously born of experience and a genuinely caring attitude. So, on behalf of every 125-or-so passengers on all of my flights this week, I apologize to YOU. I, and I assure you many of your best customers have a great deal of respect for you.

And despite its downsides – aviation is still an amazing and awesome science and industry that should never lose its aura of wonder. Navigating halfway around the globe in 12 hours is still a magnificent gift.

Safe travels.

They took a cab to the airport!!! LOL!!! That’s too funny. Wonder if they tipped the driver?
