Heres one more group millennials are ignoring as they spend time glued to their smartphones airline personnel.
About 61% of millennials admitted to hiding behind electronic devices in order to avoid interacting with airline staff, according to a survey market-research firm Mintel conducted among 2,000 adults. Beyond millennials, less than half of Generation X those born roughly between 1965 and 1980 say they avoid airline personnel, and less than 37% of baby boomers said so. Automated technology is increasingly replacing people for cost-savings and convenience, and few travelers still value the human touch in the process.

I taught my daughter in about five minutes! She was 16 at the time and picked it right up!........she’s 29 now with her own family..........
Sorry, feminism has ruined the looks of our in-air women, and the fact that the job is here more
heavily injected with SAFETY/SECURITY stuff means many of them are also complete B*TCHES, too.The Way We Were
If I had any idea of pharmacology, sure.
I’ll stick to peddling a little on Ebay, mediocre stock footage, little viewed youtube, and other odd jobs.
On paper I am making the most ever for my education and experience but after all said and done mandated rip-offs, my net is a little better than as a state employee several years ago.
I just spit all over my tablet!.........
“How to keep your watch from being stolen by a millennial:
Buy one with an hour and a minute hand!......... “
When my youngest was in college 5 years ago one kid in his class had a blank dial, hands only watch. Another kid asked how he was able to tell the time.
I won't take anything touched by a queer (hepatophobic)
Send written complaints to the airlines about the disease-ridden child-molesters. Inform them of the hundreds of weird diseases carried by the dirtmen.
LOL
“We must become one with the vehicle, son”
Hah! Remember the choke button on the dash...pull it out to choke the carb?
The good old days...
Which reminds me.
Years ago at CPAC I was in an Elevator with Four Gorgeous British Virgin Air Stewardesses and Tom Delay.
While I am 6’2”, Mr. Delay is much shorter and ended up with the more enjoyable view.
Best two minutes of the Conference.
Now, he is learning about repairing a very lucky engine that only partially dropped a valve seat on the way home from the lot.
(He ignored my advise on getting a buyer inspection at an independent shop)
Of course I have to teach him, it is an opportunity for him to finally get his hands dirty and learn something important about life...everything either takes time and skill or money, luck is just not to expect, and there is no App that fixes cars.
In 1991 my wife & I were on a Continental flight where the male flight attendant was on the mike cutting up like Jay Leno. Really funny stuff, then an elderly lady asked him about all the time he had to spend away from his spouse.
“Ma’am, I’m not married.” So she pointed to the gold band on his left hand.
“Oh, that’s my “fag deflector”! There are a lot of fags in the airline industry; I’m single so I have to wear that. My girlfriend wants me to wear it for real!”
Oh, good grief. Why the Hell wouldn’t someone want to interact with flight attendants? I can see being on a bus and not wanting to interact with other passengers, but if the driver wanted to talk to me, I would listen.
Are they just afraid of interacting with people in general?
Oh, the old carburetor. You had to stick a pencil in the butterfly valve to start the car.
I have flown on Polynesian Air, Japan Air, Malaysian Air, Korean Air and maybe some I can’t think of and I believe you have to be a model to be a stewardess on these airlines. I have seen pictures of the girls on the North Korean airlines and they are hot.
MALCOLM
The kids okay?
GRANT
Well, I didn’t ask. Why wouldn’t they be?
MALCOLM
Kids get scared.
GRANT
What’s to be scared about? It’s just a little hiccup in
the power.
MALCOLM
I didn’t say I was scared.
GRANT
I didn’t say you were scared.
MALCOLM
I know.
GRANT
Fine.
What an incredibly arrogant position you have on waiters and restaurants. Get off your damn phone and have some consideration for the poor slob trying to serve you and for the business trying to eke out a profit. Your attitude is why people think millennials are completely self-absorbed.
Hell i had to hand crank my first car
