Yes, and the Flight Attendant's are considered "crew members". But they aren't the only ones we don't want "stoned". The same rule applies to the Aircraft Mechanics, on down. Now, isn't that a comforting thought...allowing Aircraft Mechanics to be stoned...NOT!

The FA's are not just "waitresses" and shame on the passengers who think so. But dittos for your remarks about the ground crew.

True. In an emergency, I want to KNOW the flight attendants can RECALL where the shoots are and HOW they work.

"Shoots", the inflatable mattress type this passengers slide down out the exit doors.
