@atfatw I am not a flight attendant, and obviously you are not familiar with job discription of a flight attendant and history of those men and women that maintain safety in the cabin. Do some friggin research on Ellen Church , and the impact FA's made for women's civil rights in America. Who do you think is the first line of defence on board an aircraft? It's certainly not the pilot. Aside from servicing your ASS, these men and women also have great responsibilites. It's a shame 2B ignorant
