Rude and Clumsy Attendants

September 19, 2009 Attendant & Pilot Stories

So everyone knows the pitfalls of Southwest – little room to move, crappy flights, and crying babies. However, I was flying back from Las Vegas with my brother, sister-in-law and husband (we’ll call him “Bob”) when I had one of the worst flights I have ever had. First of all, we got there before a [...]

I was on a Spirit Airlines flight from Detroit Metro to Reagan International to go to a wedding. The flight time was less than an hour and we were told that after 9/11 any flight coming out of or going into Washington, DC can not have anyone be out of their seats within a 30 [...]

Why Is She Even An Attendant?

August 17, 2009 Attendant & Pilot Stories

I was flying from Charleston, SC via Detroit to Sault Ste. Marie, MI three flights, in August. The first two legs of the trip were routine. In Detroit we switched to one of those little turbo prop puddle jumpers. We had two intermediary stops even though all on the plane were going to the same [...]

The FA Salesperson

May 5, 2009 Attendant & Pilot Stories

I flew on US Airways to Costa Rica. I regularly fly down to Costa Rica, usually on Delta. I hadn’t flown US Airways in awhile, but the tickets were cheaper. Never Again. NEVER. Shortly after we took off, a man in the aisle next to me ignored the rules prohibiting electronics–that is, he turned on [...]

FA Enjoys First Class

April 5, 2009 Attendant & Pilot Stories

Our trip was fantastic, our flight down to Cozumel was amazing, we upgraded to first class and were treated awesome! The upgrade to first class coming home was not so much. Do not get me wrong, the flight was great, the food was great, but the girl (I have her name but will not say [...]

Pilot Distracted By Former Flame

April 5, 2009 Attendant & Pilot Stories

Several years ago, I was flying on a smaller prop plane across TX. Not too many passengers on board, and the weather was choppy enough to be uncomfortable. During the flight, the pilot comes back and sits next to an attractive woman flying alone. “How has she been?,” he asks. Turns out they dated several [...]

Attendants Cop An Attitude

December 5, 2008 Attendant & Pilot Stories

My wife, myself, teenage daughter and two infant children flew from Lima, Peru to Atlanta, Georgia via Ft. Lauderdale on Spirit Airlines. From the outset the flight attendants were, at best, surly. I was placing my two year old daughter’s coat into the overhead compartment prior to takeoff and one attendant asked me what I [...]

Because They Can

October 5, 2008 Attendant & Pilot Stories

It had been ten months since a major auto accident left me unable to walk without the use of crutches. In December ’06, my husband and I took a vacation to the northern California coast – a short respite from all the therapy and a much needed change of scenery. The trip was lovely and [...]

The Garrulous Flight Attendant

August 5, 2008 Attendant & Pilot Stories

Seeing some of these stories on here made me laugh out loud, and reminded me of just about every time I fly!!! My wife and I just got back from a short vacation and the return flight was absolutely crappy. So here we are crammed into the MD 88 and I am excited b/c we [...]

The Outcast

July 5, 2008 Attendant & Pilot Stories

I was flying Air India between Mumbai and Delhi back in the late 1980s. The passenger in the seat beside me was a middle aged man who had obviously never been on a plane before. His hand luggage consisted of a 5L plastic container of diesel. I knew it was diesel because it was leaking [...]
