- File this trick away for future use when my tray table won’t stay up.
- Traffic outside LAX is inevitable, but why is it like this in the first place?

100% OPPOSED to paying $91/hr for flight attendants.
Looks like Lindy is Jealous of the $91.00 for topped off Flight Attendants. But also many do not make it to the top off. If they worked at BK would they be more qualified Lindy? Also flight attendants don get paid 40 hrs a week. Do your research Lindy..
