At least you have the guts to admit you're crazy! Is Henderson making you crazy? L1011Ret needs a place to retire, maybe he should join you in the world of crazies!!ozcobber said:Oh please Bill, don't give him any ideas. We have enough crazies here as it is.
Yes, I remember you. I had the agent in JFK put notes on your reservation regarding how you had no regards to crew member instructions on electronic devices. So basically when you fly from now on you will be the "random" person who gets searched and questioned everytime you fly regarding what you did. When a crew member tells you to turn off your electronics, you need to do it. Not 10 minutes later or after 4 flight attendants tell you the same thing! Have fun next time you fly. When you do what you did, don't expect us to be nice to you during the flight.upsilon said:I have been reading regularly and posting occasionally on this board for several years and also on the former Plane Business board. In that time I have read many provocative posts from AA FA and responses from other AA FA and from AA pax.
But in a little over a month, since 19 September and in just over 300 posts, wrx has succeeded in spouting off more venom than any previous poster I have read.
As a 3mm AAdvantage flyer, it scares the sh*t out of me that he might be working my next international flight. But from his expressed attitude, I may have already done so. On a flight LHR-JFK I was literally cursed by the FA when I complained that neither he nor the other C class FA had been seen for almost two hours. There had been only the Coach FAs passing back and forth for whatever reasons.
In those days we had SomeOne Special coupons we could give to AA staff. I made it plain to him that he was not getting a SOS; but instead AA would get a letter about his service. His remarks were in-line with the words used by wrx in posts on this board

Dear Upsilon,
I would like to apologize as well if a crewmember yelled at you. However, allow me to posit one possible scenario that may have caused your 2 B/C flight attendnats to disappear for 2 hours. Now, I know this is unlikely and judging from the flight attendant's bellicose reaction to you, I imagine it is not the case, but it is possible as similar things have happened to me in the past: If there is any inventory problem with the duty-free, the assigned flight attendants must resolve it. From time to time, I have seen grotesque errors or missing inventory or miscalculated revenue and it took a very long time to resolve (even to the point when I couldn't work the breakfast service and another flight attendant had to fill in for me). The company has spread the flight attendants very thin on all flights and the company's position is, if a f/a is occupied with duty-free or anything else and cannot attend to the passengers, then the other flight attendants must walk through the cabin at regular intervals. Your post indicates that the coach flights attendants were present and available, so precedure was followed. Again, I do not know what kept the B/C flight attendants occupied for 2 hours. It may have been duty-free or it may have been something totally unrelated. They may have been sleeping on the floor in the back of the plane for all I know! Naturally, I do not know. But I am just writing to let you know that I am sorry you were treated so poorly. I know that a passenger with your miles must know this is the rare exception and that the majority of the flight attendants you encounter are professional and courteous. I am also writing this to let you know that there are extenuating circumstances that may keep certain flight attendants busy from time to time too. Whether or not the F/As on your particular flight had a legitimate excuse to be away for 2 hours is something we'll never know. Again, I am not defending the rude flight attendant you described, I am simply letting you know that there are times when we have legitimate reasons to be away for long periods and that the cabin must be monitored regularly by any of the other f/as during such an absence.
Peace!
