I’m a flight attendant. However..

  • I’m not your personal assistant/bellboy. Don’t expect me to pick up your luggage on the aisle and put it in the overhead compartment all by myself. I’m not a heavyweight champion and I obviously don’t respond to people snapping their fingers to get my attention. Especially if you are twice my size. And you managed to carry that luggage all the way from drop off to the departure hall. Here’s the common ground: Let’s do it together, shall we?
  • I’m not living the high life. I don’t have boyfriends in every single destination I fly to. Catching up on my sleep is more important. Being fully alert while I’m on duty is my main concern. Sorry, guys.
  • I hate delays just as much as you do. If a delay is predicted before hand, I could have taken my own sweet time to get my brain loaded with caffeine, walked a little slower, woke up a little later. Shouting at me just because you are frustrated won’t help. Just so you know, I’m not being paid for all those extra hours of waiting.
  • I’m not at liberty to give you cheaper tickets. I don’t own the airline. You want a good deal? Check the website for latest promotion. So stop looking all flattered when you heard about what I do for living. And for the love of God, do not ask me anything about cheap tickets when we are out on a date. Its just plain annoying and you will lose all your brownie points.
