Patrisha Organo is a flight attendant for Philippine Airlines. On Tuesday she was scheduled for her check flight in order to qualify as a Cabin Crew Evaluator. On board a baby was crying. She approached the mother. The baby was hungry, but she didn’t have any formula.
She never once claimed to only be there for the flight’s safety.

This doesn’t happen often, but it does happen, usually when departing from a remote stand when air stairs have been removed before the door closes. Falling onto concrete from a Boeing 777 is more severe than doing so from a 737, though both carry real risk.
This doesn’t come close, though, to the flight attendant who fell 33,000 feet from the sky and lived for forty four more years.
A woman flying United from Sydney to San Francisco on Monday was told by a flight attendant that the allowable standard for babies crying on the airline’s planes is five minutes.
She was also given plenty of parenting advice from a flight attendant who clearly suggested she didn’t know what she was doing with her child.
Flight attendants may be given detail on an airline’s food. They rarely pay it much mind, and I usually get blank stares and shrugs when I ask something about a dish before I order it. So I’ve learned not to ask.
Not only did I get a description of the dishes I could choose from, I didn’t have to ask the flight attendant what the wines were. If I ask I usually get another blank stare, “red and white” or sometimes if I’m lucky they will show me the bottle.
We’re just over a month away from when American Airlines will cut over to a single flight attendant scheduling system. They’ll no longer have to keep former US Airways crews separate from legacy American crews. And this will allow the airline to schedule their planes more efficiently — driven more by passenger demand than contractual obligations to different flight attendant groups.
At the same time they’re imposing a new discipline system on flight attendants to ensure they show up for work.
