Flight attendants know the real job killer isn’t the Green New Deal. It’s climate change.

Planes are getting lighter.

The flight attendants aren't.

As a frequent traveler, there is not an increase in turbulence. This is absurd.

Well sure, they are kinda like bartenders, ya know? Except they are also actors (the seat belt routine)...so they are obviously double-qualified to run the country.

Vox sucks

>>But flight attendants and airline workers have been told by some pundits that the Green New Deal, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Ed Markey’s environmental proposal, will ground all air travel.
>>
>>That’s absurd. It’s not the solutions to climate change that kills jobs.

Nope. AOC said she would end planes. Duh. It’s the solution that will ground all air travel domestically. Don’t like it? fight the bitch of a dictator who decreed it.


The language of the Facebook post mirrors the text of a headline on the conservative website The Gateway Pundit, but it doesn’t come from the text of the actual resolution.

Instead, it might stem from an interpretation of, or confusion over, documents about the resolution circulated by Ocasio-Cortez’s office.

bitch got caught and called out rightly so. Have to pass this sh!t to find out what’s in it. NOPE

Did you hear about the flight attendant that was so dumb the other two noticed?

Part time job, angry disposition, no longer eye candy, fitting for the sloppy traveler dressed in gym togs and flip-flops!

They have emptied the Greyhound Stations and sent the denizens to the airport.

Pretty sure they don’t respirate carbon dioxide at night, but oxygen. Respiration without photosynthesis.

The next time I want to understand some complex scientific topic I'll ask a stewardess. Maybe one can help me understand string theory. After all serving drinks and meals and demonstrating how seat belts and oxygen masks work really gives them a solid background in science.

Or maybe something simple but business related like how to model price cross elasticity - after all that's something that airlines actually do. Although I suspect that the flight attendants have very little to do with it.

I’d need to know two things regarding this article and the author before I give it any mind:

1) Is there any concrete data backing up her claims or is it all anecdotal?

2)In her 23 year experiences as a flight attendant have the number of flights each day increased, decreased or stayed the same? More flights increase the odds of bad turbulence stories.

Why do airline hosts and hostesses now call themselves “flight attendants” instead of stewards and stewardesses? “Steward” and “stewardess” are terms that connote responsibility, care and safekeeping. “Flight attendant” has the same ring to it as “gas station attendant.”

Check her bank accounts, both on and offshore. Any wire transfers originating from the DNC and/or Gorgie Soros?

You would think if anything bothered her it would be the fate of the Boeing 737 MAX. Seems quite likely she and the 50,000 she represents have a stake in that aircraft.

Does she see fit to render an opinion on that?

Didn’t think so - return to her bank accounts.

What next? Maybe “climate change” will stop the cows from farting? Maybe it will make all LIB suicide? Maybe...it isn’t “12 years” it is 12 days!!! OMG!!!

“Climate change itself is the job killer.”

I know some old school stewardesses who say you are full of shit.

"Severe turbulence is becoming more frequent and intense due in part to climate change."

In my 23 years as a flight attendant and president of our union

Made it through 13 word before I stopped. I think that's a record for me for a story from the Commies at Vox.

Don’t knock them all just because they elected a moron. Stewardesses and nurses are some of the coolest women there are. Let’s see if next election they throw this idiot out. Yes, i’m old school.
