Envoy: How Mellow Dramatic

[EMBFA]

You know what, Sky High?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry that your job is "hell" and you cannot find fun or happiness in one of the easiest jobs in the world.

I'm sorry that you have very limited ability in the written word, and sorry if that's been an impediment in your life.

I'm sorry that you will likely have to look up "impediment".

I'm sorry that you think I do this job as a primary source of income, or that I am somehow 'stuck' working here.

I'm sorry that both of the above are probably your reality.

I'm sorry that you have such an emotional reaction/connection to a character on an internet forum.

And, mostly, I'm sorry I've wasted so many keystrokes on you.

That's my last word. Have a good night.

Yinz need to learn how to spell.

Fav-or-ite.

VJ- The article is from a British publication, so uses the British spelling. You may recall that BA advertises itself as "The World's Favourite Airline." Least Favourite Airline Worldwide is quite a title to win. Sort of a combination of the BA slogan and UA's "Worldwide Service", two airlines US wanted to be at different points...

I know. I’m just feeding the fire to this Cross-Slap™ fest.

I better sign off for the evening before my goofing around becomes misunderstood.

Can we return to the "American Experience" discussion please. Thanks.

Scot, this is the "American Experience" unfortunately. LOL!

Just because 'burgers don't spell it like that doesn't mean it isn't correct. It is how the British spell favorite.

favourite

adjective
1. appealing to the general public; "a favorite tourist attraction" [syn: favorite]
2. preferred above all others and treated with partiality; "the favored child" [syn: favored]

noun
1. a competitor thought likely to win [syn: front-runner]
2. a special loved one [syn: darling]
3. something regarded with special favor or liking; "that book is one of my favorites" [syn: favorite]

Bother way, it doesn't really matter though because we are neither the favorite nor the favourite!

sky high states: Had you said, the above quotations, we would be seeing eye to eye. You decided to add sarcaism to this post and most others. One last dig? Possibly. You do that constantly on this board. You lack respect to just about everyone on this board. Yet you blame your peers for the same lack of respect in your worklife.
You pissed me off tonight. I do, do wheelchairs. I've seen BOTH MY PARENTS in them. It's NOT procedure for me to do them, but, call me, too caring. I've hugged cancer patients inflight. I've wiped away tears as they deplaned, not knowing, as they walked away and up the jetway, if they survived. But, they touched my life. Same goes for the Pegasus organization. Ever walk by the AFA board? Notice the face or name of an F/A battling an illness who used that last resort of help? I HAVE. You lack compassion or you're too involved in using this board as a negative tool to voice your dissatisfaction working here.
You make fun of a service you never did. You didnt work here in the 70's, 80's, or really for that matter most of the 90's. (your hire date 99). In reality, WE WORKED OUR ASSES OFF. And, were compensated well. (I'd like to see you do a PIT/PHL hot breakfast in coach).
Reserve sucks. The big one. But, you're ready to throw anyone under the bus to get off of it. See the oxymoron?

You stated my reality............isnt that conjecture? I may be able to retire in a few years!

embfa........you put on the gloves as usual..........I just defended myself.

in reality...............I just wished we would agree that we disagree.............and stop arguing.


And, lastly, in reality, I'm OLD School. Anyone with seniority knows that sentiment.

SLEEP WELL.........everyone


ONLY STATING OPINIONS

 

[FlightChic]

Never aspiring to work anywhere else? Furloughed, on Reserve, and chances of getting OFF reserves, like YEARS AND YEARS AWAY?

Who are you to be talking about never aspiring to work anywhere else? How many decades have you been here? How's your retirement looking SKY HIGH? I hope you've been saving for it all these years! What great things have you accomplished in your life besides being able to say you're a blockholder for US Airways because if that is all you have done that is really, really pathetic. Passing out Coke and pretzels the fastest doesn't count either.

sky high states: Geez.....you really need to follow my posts. This isnt my first airline nor position within the industry. I was schooled/lived in Europe. But, and let me emphasize, I began working in this industry when it PAID WELL. You could pick up the Newpaper Wanted Ads and see an entire page of airline jobs. And, they were VERY COMPETITIVE to get. Thousands were interviewed for only dozens of positions. Sorry, FlightChic......you didnt get to experience the envy most felt when you responsed who you worked for, years ago. Many have left the industry....alot have lost their pride over the years. Alot of us have HUNG ON through all the changes and alot of us are simply shaking our heads at the result: cheap fares, cheap seats, cheap service. Air travel is simply MASS Transportation. And, the "career reputation" of everyone in THIS industry got caught up in the aftermath. Isnt that what you just said, up top?

[Dog Wonder]

Let's get back on topic.

Corndogs, Elephant ears, fried Oreos. Double Bacon Cheeseburgers.

Co-Cola and Ho-Hos for breakfast.

The Envoy American Experience.

Good thing Envoy has wide-ass seats. Only wish the 330s had trays that don't sit at 45 degrees across your lap.

Will the American Envoy experience raise those trays to fit the food?

When I think of American Food I think of:

B-B-Q
Clam Chowder
Chili
Stuffed Peppers
Lobster, scallops, clams, mussels, steamers
apple cider
blueberries
bake beans
cheese steaks
New York style Pizza
Bagels
Buffalo wins
Soft Pretzels
Crab cakes
Seafood Lasagna
steak, pot roast, prime rib
catfish, perch, walleye
pot pies
sweet tea
cajun food, etc.

Everywhere I go, I always get a craving for what the local specialty is. YUM!

America is a melting pot and all regions have food/drinks they are known for. It would be very hard for US to mess this up!

Wait. Did I say that outloud!

 

[RowUnderDCA]

great list.

You're a strong thinker. Or just very hungry... or you watch a lot of food network or history channel.

 

[N965VJ]

Co-Cola and Ho-Hos for breakfast.

Red Draws for breakfast (beer and tomato juice).

 

[Coffee_Tea_Or_Me]

IF they are going to do American food in a higher end kind of way, I think of menus like Ruth's Chris, McMormick and Schmick's, etc. I am hoping and praying the American concept is not limited to Fridays and Applebees.

 

[LCC_#1]

You want to know why you get a witty, insulting retort back?

BECAUSE YOU CANNOT READ. The caps are just for you dear.

Let's go through your post one, well, I guess they are paragraphs, at a time.

Worldview is an outlook, or a rather a framework of ideas and beliefs that form an outlook. It's not looking out of your window and seeing Dubai. I too have lived abroad, and while that is something that might have helped form one's worldview, the term itself has nothing to do with international travel or even your sight. I believe that's about fourth grade vocab.

MidAtlantic was loads of fun, paid more than what I make now (as a F/A) and was fantastic for my career. Absolutely. Thank you for asking.

Okay next. I don't hate Pittsburgh, I just don't have a sentimental attachment to it that overrides common sense and industry realities. If that means 'hating' it, then yes, I loathe it. I also 'hate' VCRs, 8-tracks, and rotary phones. The union is useless (maybe not for you?) Pitbull- is she even still posting? I don't remember really talking to her, I'm sure you are PMing her for ideas on how to 'get me' though lol. I would be interested in seeing your examples of me being wrong however.

My negative attitude... it must really show next to you, who's obviously sh*tting rainbows. Your posts are filed with sunshine and light, and must be very inspiring. Too bad we can't find your positive posts... maybe we just can't read them?

Now... let's just do a little review of our conversation here, shall we?

SKY HIGH said: Fact is, young people dont give a crap. They have NO work ethic.

EMBFA said: It has nothing to do with age, it has to do with the company and the attitude of the employees.

SKY HIGH said: SURE IT DOES.

EMBFA said: Now, my point was that quality of service delivery has nothing to do with age or seniority. Yours, from what I gather from your muddled post, is that is does? How so?

SKY HIGH said: Many F/A's came to this company in the late 70's and early 80's because of it's reputation of "taking care of it's employees". That's gone now, that's why many workers are jaded. Pay me less, I'll work less

EMBFA said: While I understand not wanting to go 'above and beyond' for a company that disregards us, I am also not lazy and take pride in my own service, appearance, demeanor, and work ethic. That's for EMBFA, not for US Airways. I'm sorry that you and many of my co-workers don't feel the same way.

SKY HIGH said: That you constantly point fingers at the senior group is insulting, ignorant and prior for the course with you.

Uh... what?

The reason you get my witty and insulting retorts (I would add condescending) is because your posts are so off the wall it's too hard to resist. You can't pick an opinion and stick with it for a 24 hour period. I sincerely hope you are just poorly written or type under the influence (sunshine service?) Do you or don't you feel that age or seniority is a factor in service attitude? It's a simple debate in which you've expressed several, varying opinions.

When you continuously post bizarre rants void of reason, fact, or meaning, retorts are par for the course. I shudder at the American public school system, but that's another topic altogether.
