Haveing spent a lifetime managing in the service world my assessment is that she was doing as instructed because she had been yelled at about that, about something else, she is a union steward, or she had gotten into a fight with her significant other.
Damn straight! His CIB indicates that he has paid his share, and then paid some more.
someone who flies 100,000 miles a year the same as a 28 year old on a first flight with a one way ticket. I don't think so.
Perhaps ytou are right, but I dont think that excuses her poor behavior.
In general I would agree. Frequent business travelers make up the majority of those in first class. The shorter lines greatly improve travel over having to wait the 30 minutes to go through the normal line.
I don’t believe we should have a tsa. Let the airlines do it.
Where else can you be treated like cattle, assumed you are a terrorist, charged exorbitant prices AND BE DISRESPECTED. FLY OUR STUPID AIRLINES and DEAL WITH THE MOST ASSINE PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY THE TSA!
Emailed them. Waiting for the boilerplate response. If any.
If that were me, I would have walked up to first class and asked the passengers if they minded me hanging my jacket up. I would have made sure to point out what the stewardess had said also.
Dwefinatly lots of fruit salad going on but only my first 4 years were in the Army.
I mean he has no MOH or anything, I can see an ARCOM but dont know what the ribbon is on the top row just under his jump wings.
The CIB and Ranger tab would garner instant respect for this man regardless of my rank. But if it comes around that he is attempting to STEAL some VALOR by parading in this uniform, I would physically rip these badges from his body and remain present until the authorities showed up to arrest him.
I think a dress jacket with a C.I.B. and a Ranger Tab deserves to be in the first-class closet.
From the article:
He has been wearing the uniform on job interviews across the country while pursuing his dream to become a doctor, his family told Channel 9. They refused to comment further.
Maybe it is me, but it seems strange the way the article was written. He’s flying all over the country job interviewing, while pursuing his dream to become a doctor? Things that make you say hmmm
“I think a dress jacket with a C.I.B. and a Ranger Tab deserves to be in the first-class closet.”
I would take this one step further. That FA, seeing this decorated soldier board the plane should have come up to him and offered to hang up his jacket. Not only that, the airline’s trainers should teach this to all FA’s.
That’s called CUSTOMER SERVICE.
I have been flying since I was two years old, and currently log close to 15,000 miles/year for business.
I generally fly coach, occasionally ask to hang something in first, and have never once been refused hanging space.
Quit your snippety whining.
He’s right: even the least intelligent and most easily-led have the right to free speech, as Jonty is so ably demonstrating.
Bronze Star
That is why they have the nickname USELESS AIRWAYS. . . .
Jonty 30 - bullshit. Plain and simple. Bullshit.
Why is Jonty still here....Zapit!
” someone who flies 100,000 miles a year the same as a 28 year old on a first flight with a one way ticket. I don’t think so. “
You missed my point though, as I probably wasn’t clear.
The expedited security check-in line I’m objecting to is offered to first-class ticket holders — I’m not talking about travelers who have applied and qualified for accelerated security check-in.
In other words, the airlines are being permitted to offer, as a first-class perk, that you get into a faster line for security screening (first-class only). That has nothing to do with the # of times you fly, its about how much you pay the airlines.
The security screening process should apply equally to ticket holders no matter what they pay for the ticket (excluding those who have passed special screening as I stated above).
Thanks for clearing that up for me.
