Quoted for friggin' truth.

Quit being such a d-bag and if you want something, simply call the FA and ask for it. I cannot believe you'd waste time whining that the FA didn't ask you if you wanted anything. GMAFB...

Agreed.

I had a FA tell me to stay out of "her" galley... I was just off OE and was pretty intimidated by her (i got over that really fast). She was such a treat to fly with . I hate when flight attendants refer to things as "my"... "my crew", "my galley", "my lav", "my airplane"... get a life.

Here's an idea... we should turn this thread in a direction of discussing fun and creative ways to annoy FA's... not that any of us would try to annoy the FA ... any thoughts?

ImperialxRat

Guess you mis-read the part where he said they did call her?

BoilerUP

Yeah...but only after Saab got all torqued up and whiny about it...

sflpilot

WTF, it's the captain's airplane as per FAR. Nothing on there belongs to the FA's.

that's SAAB, you should be used to it by now...

It's gonna be a quiet 2 weeks around here... thank god!!

Physiological needs such as water (and caffiene depending on the duty schedule) are actually pretty important. Dehydration is know to cause significant cognitive impairment, and the air is VERY dry in those airliners.

Airline pilots can't just wander back and use the head and grab a drink on the way...an FA has to occupy the cockpit in place of the pilot, so if she didn't have time to hand up a coke, she probably didn't have time to hang out up front either.

Actually on a 4 hour flight, there would be no reason she wouldn't have time...the CA should have just ordered her to serve the crew. Four hours is too long to ignore physiological needs. If she declined, kick her @ss off the plane on the next turn.

On rare occasions I'll help an FA with her bag but it's not practical to do it all the time. The ones that have problems with luggage are usually new, and they just need to learn (the hard way) to pack light and configure their bags ergonomically.

That doesn't happen much post 9/11. An FA (NWA ?) got sent to the federal pen for putting something of a laxative nature in a pilot's drink which incapacitated him in flight.

Rickair:

Thanks for pointing out the obvious, really needed it. Tho, the message that I was trying to get across was to get over his child like whining and get real, if dehydration was the problem, something tells me that could have been remedied by the bottle of water these gals usually leave for each of us before the pax even bother to come on board. Also, note that in the original post it was her lack of aptitude to make coffee for them that have made Saab go off the wall for nothing.

Also, pointing out the suitcase issue was not to show a matter of practicality but rather to point out that while Saab expects the FA to tend to his needs, I am almost positive he has never bothered to do the same for anyone. Also, since when being a gentleman, and more over that a human been considered an added curriculum to our jobs description. Also please note I have pointed it out on a rainy day to make sure a lady doesn't slip on the airplane's steps.

Nothing like returning a favour and pointing out the obvious.

When did you guys all become even bigger primadonnas than the ladys working in the back of our airplanes?... no wonder aviation is not what it used to be, pilots def. contribute thier fair share to that! yuck.

ExperimentalAB

Hoooly cow you guys are wicked testy around here...everyone here is just chompin' at the bit to bring somebody down LoL.

We're all on the same side, remember?!
