Here’s 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.

How to keep your car from being stolen by a millennial:
Buy a manual transmission!.........
Buy one with an hour and a minute hand!.........
What is meant by avoiding airline personnel? You can’t avoid them. Do they mean ignoring the stewards when they ask what you want to drink?
I am guilty of using my headphones to avoid talking to a chatty seat mate. Most of the times I want nothing to do with the person next to me.
all asia stewardess - super hot
euro - pretty good
USA - UGLY AS HELL
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.
I got really, really shocked one time.
FREAKING PSYCHO, some of them.
The best thing about the phones is it helps you to avoid having to deal with the bums on the street.
How to write a secret message that a millennial can’t read:
Write in cursive.
USA air staff = quasi, crypto policeman.
Vaguely convinced you MUST be doing something wrong.
Gives off air of wanting to give you the spanking she really KNOWS you deserve.
Friendly male stewards asks if YOU WORKOUT A LOT.
ugh.
Man, I know what you mean.
Why is it certain types of people think seating next to them is an invitation to tell you their life story? or ask you 50 billion questions?
It only happens on airplanes or buses where there is little chance to escape.
I once sat behind some overly polite guy on a bus who had his ear talked off for 4 hours. The guy didn’t say much just nodded his head and listened. 4 hours and she never stopped talking!
LOL...You’d probably ask the airline hostess to move me...:o))
I really like talking to people...I don’t know why, but I just enjoy conversing when standing in a line or something similar....
I’d like to use a freon boat horn just to freak out the moronic millennial text-heads. They need to be made nervous.
That is so true!
I would not have believed it had I not seen it myself!
My son in !aw’s niece could not read an analog clock as an adult!!!!!!.......
They can’t start a carburated engine either.
I have to wonder if the person that wrote the story ever took a trip on an airplane.
Interaction with airline personnel generally consists of getting your boarding pass scanned; checking in in person for an international flight, getting a personal briefing if you are in an exit row, and telling them what you want to drink.
One may get a bit more interaction if they try to carry on several oversized suitcases, although the gate personnel is as likely to ignore that as they are to say something.
But I don't see how you can avoid any of that by pretending to play games on your phone.
Right!!!..
Because they already are.
My daughter actually got invited to interview with Delta Airlines. She thought she had a good chance as she is conversant in three languages, fluent in two, knows CPR and is great with kids (former nanny and juvenile officer). Two-thirds of the interviews were told “no thanks.” She was hopeful because she was in the other third, but got the same answer within a week of arriving home (comp Delta flights both ways). What she learned at the interview was that airlines actually prefer gays and for reasons you wouldn’t believe.
Millenials: the result of the most recent eight years of depression and downside....and they don’t even realize it because they have no frame of reference except maybe the ones that had parents that educated about what America was like....
