American Airlines says that they are not responsible when the employees that they’ve selected, trained and put into a position of authority in the cabin abuse that position to create child pornography by filming teenage girls in the lavatory.
This has to be the best inflight marriage proposal I’ve ever heard, made truly special by the cabin crew. There was no public announcement, no embarrassment of the bride to be. Instead there was a table, tablecloth and chairs set up at the back of the plane – two glasses of sparkling wine, and a ring placed inside a dessert. She said yes!
Being a flight attendant is a challenging lifestyle that many people aren’t up to. Passengers don’t often see the shifting schedules, repetitive tasks, low pay and challenging customers they have to deal with.
One flight attendant has taken to social media warning people off of the career – unless, she says, “you’re going to Delta.”
United Airlines is cracking down on flight attendants glued to their phones, ignoring customers, and they’re threatening to fire anyone ignoring their duties in this way.
A snake slithered around a flight from Bangkok to Phuket, Thailand on Saturday, and a flight attendant was forced into the role of herpetologist, capturing the reptile and calming the nervous cabin. A passenger shared her story and filmed the capture, She said upon flying back to Phuket after completing her studies in Bangkok the snake was spotted on the plane after the captain had announced that they were about to land and not leave their seat. She continued napping but woke up fully when the person seated next to her became agitated and told her that there is a snake right above them. She was stunned and did not know what to do, stay put in her seat or dash to safety. @utusantvofficial Kejadian pada 13 Jan 24 itu disedari kru penerbangan ketika melakukan…
Flight attendants on a December 20 QantasLink flight from Melbourne to Hobart, Tasmania wore Palestinian flag pins. One (non-Jewish) passenger reported feeling “incredibly uncomfortable.”
A crewmember who was photographed with the pin inflight, and whose photo has gone viral, has vowed to “fight against” this passenger.
A coach passenger on board American Airlines 1883 from Los Angeles to Miami reports that a first class flight attendant decided to keep people from coming up to use the first class lavatory by parking a galley cart in the aisle, blocking their path.
That way customers on board the Boeing 737 MAX could only walk the aisle to the back of the aircraft in order to use the bathroom in their ticketed cabin.
The lesson here is that contract airlines reflect on the carrier whose brand they fly under. She wasn’t an ‘American Airlines’ employee, but American still has to answer for her. And that means the quality of that airline and its staff matter. It isn’t enough to say “not us, different airline.”
A flight attendant with South American airline LATAM was working her first flight, and getting hazed by fellow crewmembers. For passengers, it was more than a little flair – turning trash collection into an elegance extravaganza for her rite of passage.
Picture this: a cabin aisle turning into a runway, where the simple act of collecting trash was performed with an extra touch of grace and humor.
Her family is suing and claims that American allowed the crewmember to erase the evidence.
The flight attendant apparently hasn’t worked a trip since the incident but is still employed by the airline and was not arrested. According to the FBI, there was no arrest because “by the time they searched his phone, they could not find any incriminating photo or video on it.” The suit accuses the airline of failing “to take immediate actions after the incident.”
