Hey, if you like the video, great. I just thought it came off as an attempt to reuse the flash mob dance video we saw not all that long ago into a more choreographed version with better cameras and dancers. The post introducing it implied it was for customers who fly with us more than just occasionally. Well, I've heard from some high value customers that they don't care for the extra attention some FAs and pilots give them in the form of more talk and chit-chat when they'd rather be left alone. My guess is they'd rather not see this video come their way either. Now if you've gone through all your reruns of The Lawrence Welk show for the week and are jonesing for the dance, then this is right up your alley. Just my $0.02.

There will always be a few exceptions who don't like it.....
My dad, who is a retired NW guy, never nonrevs (after commuting for most of his career- completely swore off nonrevving) and is a very high priority customer of ours. He forwarded me the email thinking it was enjoyable.

Did you fly gunships? Of the Air Force variety? If so, I'm amazed.

Maybe a mechanic can dance over and take a look, and maybe all of our buttons are bad, or at least set too sensitive. I was upset about the WDR on push, then Standard Text, then the hat memo, and I'll be a monkey's uncle if I didn't jump all over that Fly button. The PA memo just about gave me a coronary. By the VA JV, I was down to just leaning my head over my left shoulder, and gently drooling.
Maybe I'm all out of upset, I don't know. Or maybe it's the Christmas spirit catching up, but while the pilots doing the dosy-do seem sort of goofy, and the notion of finding a pilot young enough, and a flight attendant slim enough, for one to carry the other seems implausible... I'm just going to pass on the indignation this time.
Happy Holidays.

No kidding. I'm on board with you Sink, and Ferd for that matter. This place is getting way too negative for me. If it weren't for FTB's pilot PA decision trees and Clamp's witty banter, I'd be out of here. When we have potential flow ups *****ing about our contract and what the current pilot group has decided and other guys upset about military guys and furloughed guys rightfully coming back to the jobs they were hired into, I'm just about "entitlemented" out. Sorry for the bastardization of what Webster would consider appropriate.
Chill the **** out. Merry Christmas bros.

I agree, and what I've been thinking for a while.
Look, I figured out a long time ago that when the good lord was passing out humor, some guys were in the bathroom and just missed it. I actually like trying to find humor in the little stuff (and it's mostly little stuff) that goes on around us most days. The "fly" button I thought was dumb but cute and also not worth the time to worry about it. Also, I try to stay away from double standards so since I tell the pilot and dog joke to passengers.........I guess I shouldn't lose any sleep over the fly button. The flash mob and Christmas video falls into the same category, cute but you won't catch me in one
The biggest thing that has bugged me about L&G for a while now, is not only how everything is a zombie apocalypse but how no one can agree on how to kill a zombie without a personal attack.........it just gets old!
I know it's the internet and all keyboard warriors are tough guys, but how about we make this the response test. Just before you hit submit, ask yourself, if you would say what ya wrote if you were standing next to the guy in a bar. The guy you are responding to is a big guy with a full mug of beer and your sure he is drunk enough to take said beer mug to the side of your head.............would you still post. If not, stay polite.
Rant mode off,
Ferd

Everything is awesome Sunday
The ALPA board used to have a "toys" thread. It was neat to see folks' projects... . What does the board think of putting up pics of what we do for fun?
