Dear FA..
I’m so sorry to interrupt your conversation behind the podium despite the fact we are on a quick turn and all of the passengers are clearly off of the plane. I’m sure your heated debate on people magazine’s top 50 sexiest men is far more important than the rampers, gate agents, cleaners, and caterers busting their hind parts in an effort to get this, already, 20 minute late inbound flight out on time. My back thanks you as well.
I would also like to apologize for asking to board early because of the 20 wheelchairs lined up in the jetway. Who would have known FLL would be so full of old people. You’re right for yelling at me about that. Silly me, I didn’t know it wasn’t in your contract that you don’t clean planes. They didn’t hand out copies of YOUR contract in my training class. I’ll just try to reach around you the next time my supervisor comes down and starts riding me, because I wasn’t boarding on time. Hey, thanks for yelling at HER. She has been getting on my nerves lately. Of CORSE I understand your desire to sit there in first class with your feet up catching up on the hottest trends, while talking on the phone. And if you’re anything like my roommate, you work as much as you can. You guys should be more like us and only work one trip.. Err I mean one weekend a month.
And don’t you just HATE how those goofball FA’s over at WN are so… NICE all the time. They aren’t dark, shallow, mean, or conceited, how is that image PROFESSIONAL? They must ALL be on drugs or something because there’s no way someone could be nice while doing a pre-flight. PFF!!! Let’s NEVER mimic anything Southwest does, our airline will go under.
And PLEASE, PLEASE, I beg you from the bottom of my heart: Stop using words such as SIR, Please, THANK YOU, and just continue to scream your lungs out at us when we are standing 2 feet away from you. Now make sure at the peak of your frustration, to slam that door shut as hard as you can while still telling me to do my job. I’ve only got 2 fingers left and the company will only give me compensation for my injuries after I’ve lost the use of my hands altogether. In case you’re wondering, I’m typing this with my toes.
This one goes out to the pilots-
Sorry I was distracted after getting your hand signals incorrect. I know you all work so hard putting in the coordinates, and when one of us cuts the power on accident, you have to start from scratch, and you get so frustrated that a flight goes out late. That was totally called for how you flew out of the plane and down onto the ramp and talked to us like we were idiots. It’s the only way you can get things through to us, by talking to us like we have an IQ below 75. Of course none of us have any formal education and we all live in a trailer park. It’s a good thing you are all so time oriented and ready to get a plane out on time. Although, you guys shouldn’t run down those jetways so fast when your flight gets in late. It ISN’T your fault, or the fault of the last flight crew that worked so hard to get the flight out on time. You are right to come out of your warm cabin and remind me what the 3 hand signals are, without you guys, I would be doomed out there. Maybe next week you can teach me to wipe my ass without falling into the toilet head first.
I’m sure you chief pilot wants to hear ALL about why you weren’t put in first class ahead of the flight attendant. I’m sure he wants to hear ALL about why you marched off the plane and almost had a heart attack about boarding the flight with no pilots. What were they thinking? That plane had to be 100 degrees in there. It was totally worth the effort to march off the plane, tell the gate agent how to do his job, take his number, and not give them yours, AND not turn the heat off yourself. It was right of you to get in the gate agents face when he was only doing what he was told by his managers.
By the way, you need to put on some weight guys. It’s funny when those fat Southwest guys split their pants trying to crawl into their seats, why can’t you do that more and bring a smile to our weary faces?
You both have what it takes to keep us a well oiled machine.
Shannon... You have a LONG way to go before you could ever think of being in management with that attitude. Everybody upstairs ALWAYS uses their best judgement and never lets their flawless personality get in the way. I'm glad we work for a company that values the employee and their work ethic rather than how well they kiss butt.
