Ah, fantastic! Anyone that makes a rude comment about this video will be those type of passengers that no one wants to ever be around in any circumstances. First class flights equates with first class passengers with first class manners and I don't mean setting in first class sections. I,too, don't understand why passengers are so very needy. Oh- thanks to all flight attendants that make my flight as safe as possible. You don't have an easy job dealing with so many personalities. Have fun !

Everyone on YouTube is now slightly more Gay as a result of this video.

Oh and by the way GREAT VIDEO. I feel for you and all other flight attendants.

[LadyOrion2012]

I haven't flown in 8 years. Between intrusive security checks, rude and borderline psychotic passengers, rising flight prices, mechanical issues with planes etc etc. i just don't feel safe taking my family on board one of these tin cans.

The way i avoided issues with flight attendants is that i never called them for anything. i brought my own pillow/blanket, food and drink (water). I never got up from my seat while they were serving. Jesus i hated flying- hence the reason i don't do it anymore.

[LadyOrion2012]

I had so many bad experiences on flights since Sept. 11 2001 that i don't fly anymore. Last time was in 2004 when i was bringing home our adopted son from eastern europe. Suffice to say that i almost dropped my son down a flight of stairs thanks to rude passengers pushing by me and German flight attendants that refused to help when they saw what was going on. My solution was simple--i dropped (ahem-THREW) the baby seat and two bags of luggage down the stairs-that got their attention.

When I go to brief the exit row customers (of course usually 2 or 3 are texting or talking... I just politely say "Hey everyone, Just want to say hi, and have your attention for a few minutes....This is my time to shine (in a funny way) so all eyes on me! They usually laugh, smile and put the phone down or even hang up because they were so caught off guard by my smile. I find if you just talk to them like a person, instead of a robot, you get a lot further. Bees go to honey before vinager:)

I was with TWA for 35 years and after TW folded, I went to Alaska Air. I retired in 2009. So with this video, been there done that, survived, got the t shirt and retirement and moved on!! :)

I can relate, I've only been a FA for two years. Reserve is killing me and that makes the actual job harder. People are mean and rude for NO reason. I could go on and on but at the end of the day I have a job. People think we are puppets and that they can say and do whatever they want.
