and that she had a bad back so instead of placing the papers in the seat pocket in front of her she was throwing them behind her seat. If you are not familiar with this seat then this is equivalent to throwing your papers behind the last seat before the bulkhead...kind of into a no man's land.

So it DIDN'T hurt her back to throw the newspapers behind her, possibly over her head? Interesting...lol! Why do I feel that JFK is one of the city codes involved?
I have nearly slid and busted my ass on newspapers in the aisle too many times to count. That's unsafe for us and the other pax. I don't especially like writing reports if the situation could be avoided!
I don't give out crew names, period. It's a security issue. The company doesn't want our IDs displayed prominently on the A/C but to be discreetly on your person. Seems like I hear that at EPTs every year. I usually tell the pax to reference the flight number and date. If it's warranted, the most I will do is give the position number of the flight attendant.
Of course, there is a huge difference between the number of FAs on a 777/767-300 vs. a S80/737!
Pax are welcome to use my nickname which is on my nametag and my apron...they are not getting my full name.
Gate agents are not supposed to give out names either. I looked in the manual to see if I could find anything on A/C ID security but no luck. I do love the part where they tell you to take your Crew ID, passport, roomkey, and wallet with you if you have to evacuate the hotel. Good thing I wear a fanny pack to bed on layovers with these VERY items in it...I AM PREPARED Just kidding!
Was this a JFK-LAX / LAX-JFK flight? Just curious.
