OK, Copernicus.

Oh, and it’s “neither.”

I've seen HVC giving hugs to the senior FAs because they did such an incredible job taking care of the customers who pay the most. These customers see them every week on their transcon "commute" and know them on an almost personal basis. A 20-something new-hire is WAY out of their league when compared to the most senior of FAs.
its like the civilian v military argument. It depends on the person not the age/background.
We've all worked with amazing FAs and horrible ones. There is no demographic that is better nor worse. You get what you negotiate for

Neither, as edited. Build your own argument. Defend it transparently. Provide others equal space. Bet on grey horses.

Pretty sure I work at the same place you do, and with only a few exceptions, the FAs I've worked with have all been pretty cool people. No animosity in either direction.

the amount of fear of and animosity for flight attendants some pilots have here is astonishing. weirdly, if you treat them like people and value them, they return the same

It really is that easy. It's sad what I've seen some pilots turn a simple and respectful, profesional work interaction into.

you know youre winning the internet when you live rent free in someones head by getting mentioned randomly in another thread. FWIW This guy has 2 accounts or speaks about himself in the 3rd person like a loon.I wouldnt take anything he says as having substance.

If you broke down the actual work on the jet, flight attendants deserve higher hourly wages than us. They work waaaaay harder through out the day. Have some empathy and they treat you just fine. They get grouchy just like pilots

I’m here 14 years next April. You’ve repeatedly accused me of posting from 2 accounts. Which is a TOS violation and a lie. Offer proof or contact the admin.

I get your point, but with that logic shouldn't the cleaners get more pay too because they work harder? I have many FA friends throughout the years and I definitely think they deserve a new contract like we have. Let's be careful to compare hard work to equal pay. After all we get paid for what we CAN do if the $h!t hits the fan.
With that said they have their tools as we do except they have direct contact with our customers.
