The FAs are not held accountable for any of their bad behavior. This place is a dumpster.

Hmm, kinda like pilots calling in fatigue because they are going to miss their hook up from Tinder on their orginal overnight because of reroute? We are not held accountable either.

Note to self

STools is a FA ( an older one at that ) trying to mislead this group as a pilot for SWA

That makes perfect sense. No wonder, the continual, unbearable, non-sensical, drama that makes me want to escape their presence. I’m positive that you’re correct!

They have an end of pairing (EOP) when through passengers are present. Duties (tidying) must be completed before calling scheduling to be released and then it's down to minimum - 1 FA on a 700 and 2 FA on an 800/Max 8.

FALSE

They are not allowed to leave a Full 800 at the end of the day to catch a flight home. You are smoking crack if you think they can just walk off a full aircraft to catch a flight home.

So go download their manual off Swalife and read 11.33.3.4. One FA has to run it by scheduling, but yes, with scheduling's permission they can reduce to minimum crew requirements for deplaning, which is 2 on an 800, and 1 on a 700. This is a change from past practice, and it took effect 2/1/23. There was a flight ops memo about this as well.

They bolted as soon as the door opened , this is not even worth debating. You and I both know that NO phone call was made , nor where 2 FAs allowed to leave .

Yup. I could care less. The work rules for the stews are not my responsibility. You go your way…I’ll go mine. Ok bye.

And yes, it would appear that 5tools is a Grindr-loving drama queen that knows how to FDAU for his master, but knows zilch about being an actual SWA pilot.

Im with you on this one. I couldn't give two s$#* what they do back there. If something goes amiss while they're supposed to be there, it's on them.

My job is to check service door girt bars, especially one up front, make sure no one in lavs, and shut it down. Per MX, it's the front service door that gets missed the most.
