Only a stupid person would try to use the first class storage as an economy passenger. That is why 1st class is 8 to 10 times more.expensive.
Someone makes an innocent comment, or at worst the mildest of insults, and suddenly it's international news and we're all supposed to be outraged.
Some stranger tells another stranger that she has a stupid face. But why am I supposed to care?
Let’s see the boobs. Then I decide.
Video shows nothing. especially the passenger’s face. So no way of knowing if she has a stupid face or not. Judgement withheld until more evidence.
I wonder why they waited from November to now to release their “viral” video. You wouldn’t want it to be yesterday if someone was going to refute your story.
Sounds like Mr. and Mrs. Stupid Face
While the employee did it wrongly (sic) the passenger(s) is at fault here.
Period.
Over 2 million miles in seats enables me to form this opinion.
It’s purely anecdotal, but it seems a disproportionate number of incidents involving unruly passengers are on flights between New York City and Florida...
Heck, that was nothing. A few words spoken then the FA removed herself from the couple. NEVER argue with an FA - you’ll never win.
The row was full so they got into a row?
If it was a white flight attendant saying that to a black woman it would have been the main story for days or weeks.
Let’s see the face. The flight attendant may have a valid point.
They could start rejecting the boarding of any passenger with a stupid face. “Stupid is as stupid does,” as Forest Gump once said (quoting his Mama).
Maybe the flight attendant could have asked the question young Jenny asked of Forest Gump, on the school bus: “Are you stupid or something?”
I can see the airline ad: “Passengers who look stupid will not be welcome on our airline except on “red-eye” flights. You may be allowed aboard if you are just ugly but your fare will be doubled.”
I don’t think discrimination based upon stupidity is a prohibited act under Civil Rights Laws. Don’t we need to draw the line somewhere?
Flight attendant seems to be on a power trip : “...I will turn this plane around ...” She does not have that authority but she knows that nine and a half times out of ten the Captain will back up the cabin (flight attendant) crew.
While almost all First class passengers are on board with their carry on baggage stowed by the time general boarding,
passengers should follow crew instructions.
These people are idiots. Thankfully most people are taking the race bait, and rightfully savaging them online.
This..... this...
I cannot tell you how many people did this crap. I tried as much as possible to catch them putting bags in 1st Class and would check them so the people had to go to baggage claim. I had someone take MY bag out of the coach overhead and throw it down the aisle so they could put their bag up there.
That said, I am so glad I no longer work the ‘friendly skies’. I was kicked, punched, cursed out by angry people who should have been locked up or at least banned from flying. These people were set off by bad weather, us not serving meals or them having to pay for alcohol, late flights during holidays and everyone wanted free flights and financial compensation AND our full names so they could call our supervisors. 🖕 (We would tell them they needed to go to Helen Back to complain.)
It is PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION - a step about Greyhound busses in many cases.
I remember this classic Dennis Miller rant:
And exactly when did stewardesses in this country get so f_cking
cranky? I know it’s a tough job — there’s got to be a thousand
different ways to tie that neckerchief, but why piss on me, huh?
You know, the worst thing about it is they don’t even come clean with you
and tell you how much they hate you. They treat you with that highly
contrived air of mock civility, that tight, pursed-lip grin where they
nod agreement with everything you say. You know right behind that
face plate they barely tolerate your very existence.
I’d rather they just come out in the open and say, “Hey, listen, _sshole: when I was
eighteen years old, I made a horrible vocational error, all right? I
turned in my entire adult life for cheap airfare to Barbados.
Now I’ve got hair with the tensile strength of Elsa Lanchester in ‘Bride
of Frankenstein.’ I haven’t met Mr. Right. I’m a waitress in a bad
restaurant at thirty thousand feet. Jam your Diet Slice up your _ss,
all right?” At least show me something. Come down the aisle like the
old broad in ‘From Russia with Love’ with the knife point coming out
of her shoe. “Peanuts, Mr. Bond?”
She has STUPID FACE here’s a banana now keep her quit.
Thomas Todd and his wife are stupid people. They did not follow the flight attendants instructions.
Lordy what idiots. If the overhead is full leave you bag out and tell the flight attendant. They’ll handle it
My side is the author of the article is an idiot.
