Southwest Airlines Flight Attendants "Not D-LOVEly"

[nannerin]

Where is her binky?

[BDS78]

I agree. You should not be accountable for the job you do to the people who pay you to do it.

[TheMeltinJohnShow]

Not bad.

[flyjet787]

A clever, cute way of getting your point across - I'm glad you guys were successful!!!! Go Cabin Crewmembers!

Dr. Matthew Beeler

AA-Flight Attendant

[earthwingsandfire]

LUV it. I guess that PAX (passengers) won't 'get it' though. Sooo for all the PAX, this was a practice started by sups (supervisors, who don't fly btw) to spy on the best flight attendants in the industry.

It didn't last long, thank you TWU556.

[Planeguy13]

Unless someone holds a flight attendant license/certificate, there not allowed to be part of the flight crew. I always thought the D position was for dead headers...

[8927653]

You're not funny. Look who's number one...STILL!

[PatdeW]

Hilarious paraphrase, ingenious text, liked it very much!

[GenXintrovert73]

I love Southwest, the cheap fares, survivability rate and planes that are relatively new. Why should I pay $300 for a 45 minute flight just so some over-the-hill FA can treat me like shit. Southwest is the Greyhound of the sky and it's what I can afford. GO SWA!!!

[Caberneto]

You're right. Instead assigning supervisors and managers to the "D" position, just make them "secret passengers." God forbid. We would never want to let our superiors see how we perform on the job. Unions are all the D's mentioned.

[koochy79]

You have no clue what you are talking about...

[clannon]

Shut up and get me some peanuts.

[koochy79]

See...lol...I don't even have to say much to show your lack of education and maturity with that response...thanks for doing my work for me :)

[willywoo42]

SOUTHWEST ROCKSS

[bglelvr4ever]

geeez what do you have against southwest???? were you turned down for inflight!!!

[congaleader2000]

who was it back in '93 that landed a "few feet short" at DFW took out a few approach lights, diverted to IAH, and said nothing to the tower? talk about professional!! Or the ones who closed the bar at MIA and stumbled to their "scarebus A-320"! LOL!

[caflyguy29]

This video is obviously posted by a flight attendant that neither doesn't know how to read or just wants to "do" a funny little song. Either way, the information contained in this post is untrue and unjust.

[videovoodoo]

the song was cute, the bass player was extra cute, but the singer ... don't quit your day job.

[50hawa]

They're probably spying on you guys because you guys been throwing peanuts at the passengers instead of handing it to them...talk about demeaning...but I crushed all 8 packets of peanuts that she threw at me and sprinkled it all over the floor...hahahaha

[SWApilot1964]

Make you feal better about your pitful self? What if your mother was the Flight Attendant. Pretty nice person of you. Bet your children are the kind that the rest of us have to worry about.

[50hawa]

Also, I love watching your pilots land with 15-20 kts tailwind. too bad that little boy Chicago can't see it. "YOU"RE DANGEROUS"

[SWApilot1964]

Making comments that you know are in a forum that can not be immediately challenged proves your an idiot.  Show me the FAA report that says they landed with MORE than a 10 knot tailwind. Typical uneducated RANTER

[50hawa]

So far you have not stated any factual information.  You are probably drink the kool aid too. Please stated the number of times you have flown a downwind leg....always the straight-in final HUH. Not surprising. All to save time and fuel. Ask yourself, "Is this safe- for you- For the passengers?

[50hawa]

pilots not following the company SOPs landing with tailwind greater than 5 knots when braking action is reported as "poor" is not authorized. Clearly in violation of company SOP. Who is this uneducated "ranter" now.

[50hawa]

Music is fine...SWA you're pissing all over yourself for the things that you have created. Complaining in the USA-today that you reluctantly had to raise ticket prices 3 times to stay in the black and be competitive. You bottomfeeder airline that attracts the "greyhound" market to the airline industry. I'd like to say, I feel your pain....I can't. Reap what you sow.

[SWApilot1964]

Damn dude, I read your comment, sounds like your pretty much an idiot, without education and probably a pissed off former employee. If i'm wrong, then you really don't understand the industy and make stupid comments.

[50hawa]

I've been with 3 different airlines and have been in the industry for 13 years. I've seen, read and witnessed the Southwest "WAY" of doing things first hand. SWA always looking for cheap gas even off the airport property. The facts speak for themselves, atis information, TOWER controller when I prompted for a wind check. I have not, nor will I ever work for SWA....Bunch of wild cowboys...."YEEEHAW, load'em BOYS"....MOOOOOO! MOOOOOO!

[SWApilot1964]

I have worked for three as well. You still have no point, you don't make sense. Cowboy or not, lol, you have no basis for your idiotic statements. I fly for SWA, and I know first hand, your comments are without fact and have no point or meaning. Prove a case, that would never win in court or public opion. Your like a liberal, when you get challenged with a stupid statement you through out a comment that goes unchallenged.

[50hawa]

Burbank accident ...controlled descent? Proper technique with navaids tuned and set?  Landing at 182 knots? Landing with tailwind greater than 10 knots- I don't know how many aircraft makers certify A/C with tailwind component greater than 10 kts.

[SWApilot1964]

Every airline has made mistakes. As long as humans are behind the yoke, mistakes will happen. Your reference to SWA infers that this is a daily operation. Get real dude, just because you did not get hired at SWA and your making half of what you used to due to your union, look within yourself and your own "koolaid". Spending time on youtube trashing another airline is why the industry sucks so bad. People who just spend hours bitching and complaining. Heard of bid avoidance?

[SWApilot1964]

they did land at 182 knots, that the only factual bit of information you put on here. They did not land with more than 10knots tailwind and how would you know they did not have navaid properly set. See to prove your point you put in false information, just like a liberal. Your a joke!

[50hawa]

Why do all the SWA accidents happen on the first leg at the beginning of the trip? Were they drinking the company Kool-Aid? Was researching the NTSB reports on Midway accident involving Joshua Woods-NTSB data is temporarily down.

[50hawa]

When I say that I see this daily...I mean it. Landing on contaminated runways and especially short runways doesn't require a aerospace engineer to figure out that landing distances increase. pilot Nonflying forgeting to armed Thrust reversers landing distance increase by atleast 10%.

[SWApilot1964]

again, not true, there is no procedure where the non flying pilot arms thrust reversers, your a joke. READ NTSB, there was a mechanical problem with the reverser and the flying pilot could not pull them over the gate, the non flying pilot noticed and made a second attempt and was able to get the revers to max. Second you incompetent dude, if your refering to Auto breaks armed, they were, get your facts straight.

[50hawa]

I'm glad that your sticking up for your company....That's noble of you, but please read ntsb report on Burbank note 11 knot wind and touching down V-ref +25 or 30 kts. You're a test pilots with people.

[50hawa]

correction: winds aloft was tailwind of 20 knots as stated by capt. reported wind tailwind 6 kts.

[SWApilot1964]

again, we feel your pain, your union is not working for you. You now make as much as a cashier at safeway. Now who is the bottom feeder. I make 120gees as an FO, lol, you make? Now who is the joke?

[50hawa]

Buddy, so we make the same ...You still didn't answer the question. How many downwinds do you fly? It's the environment"corporate" that enables or compells you to do risky stuff. Landing numbers are an average of demo pilot landing in conditions doing every right.

[mtnboardman]

Dang, did y'all brawling captains go to Embry-Riddle? Because your English is terrible. You're both in the same profession, you share the same runways, airways and taxiways. You've both flown for 3 different airlines, it's possible that you may have even flown the exact same plane at different times! Is this seriously the happiness that 120g's a year brings? "You need to take some of that cash out of the bank and take a bath in in. Man, if I only had half of it. If you only knew the half of it."

[50hawa]

I'm glad that you stick up for the company...But will they stick up for you if these incidents happened to you and you killed a little boy who wasn't even your flight? You need to do a risk assessment about the way SWA flys....That's it, end of story. Hope, that I'll never hear another SWA sliding off airport property or the taxiway again. You'll prove me wrong if these things never happen again. I hope that I'm wrong and please prove me wrong. Fly safe and at Vref.

[willywoo42]

aaa this video suck i like swa

[SylvesterMarkus]

someone needs to take voice lessons.

[captainperry]

this video is stupid.

[mtnboardman]

I'm with you on that one.

[Greg52763]

P.S. Hey Herb and/or Gary...fire the girl who took the time and expense to make this video...we don't need her or anyone who agrees with her. She may as well work for some other on-the-brink carrier (or maybe she did) anyway she obviously slipped through the cracks and needs to be fired.

[Greg52763]

There's nothing demeaning about making sure the customer service is what has always been expected on SWA. The best FA's out there will tell you it's not a hard job; it's fun! The drama queens will whine all day long about how incredibly hard they have it. Keep your paycheck coming by serving with a smile...duh!

[Coolwhip1000]

If fa's like you would just do your jobs (your very easy jobs) there would be no need for ghost riders. You make a ton of money for serving Cokes. Your complaint is demeaning to the hard working fa's who do not fear ghost riders. Please do us bothe a favor and find another job!!!

[CaptainGarry]

Flight attendants are the primary safety officers on commercial aircraft. Their job is not "easy" nor does it make "a ton of money."

[Greg52763]

Spoken like a true CA with a FA wife CA Gary

[g4downin]

WAH!

[nacaflicks]

Be careful the "Southwest taliban" is gonna get ya!

[miguelswa30]

If you really do not like Southwest you should really quit. It's fa's like you and Thom McDaniel who think everyone is out to get them who really need to quit. Not everyone and especially Southwest is not out to get you. Please Quit and leave from one fa to another.....you make us look bad...

[miguelswa30]

If you are not happy with Southwest you should really quit. It's fa's like you who think everyone is out to get them who have a problem with the "D" fa's on board.

[wansuiclay]

At least Southwest Flight attendants are not 55yr old fat grandmothers like they ALL seem to be on every other United States based airline. God, why is the USA the only country with tired old grandmothers as flight attendants???  I dont see this in Asia or Europe!

[LoriFlysFrontier]

Welcome to the politically correct USA. I tell ya, being "PC" is going to be the downfall of this country. It's like being called a racist for saying illegal mexicans have no rights in this country!

[ThomMcDaniel]

Southwest Flight Attendants are the best! I can't believe Management is resorting to these tactics. What will they do during negotiations? The Flight Attendant singing is great!

[Steve20052]

Wow - a video about the Real Southwest. Ouch. Props to the stewardesses for continuing to provide great service even with management tools breathing down their necks!
