[sharktooth]

Yes, and before they make that announcement they should grab a big pot and bang a spoon around the inside of it.

Ok, I just spewed coffee all over my keyboard. darn.

I now will have to take A however let's just LAUGH . I think the Carol Burnett skit.says it all. The uniform is not too far off and I will be selling HATS to all. SO
do not stress. What are you or I going to do about it? So as they say be Happy,Stay Strong ,and Believe in Yourselves . The job no matter how humble does not define the person

 

[USCREW]

Any LODOs in the house? Translation needed. Thank-you, that is all.

<SNIP> It won't be long until you hear the rest of the crowd doing the same with exception of Southwest until their hedging runs out.

Yep, once all the OAs see the $40M windfall in beverage sales they’ll be selling Cokes too.

Delta's $75 second checked bag announcement today just TRUMPED the $2 drink sales.

but it will still be fun to see how many passengers are pissed off about this on my flights on Sunday.

How are they even doing the beverage service? If I were the FA, I dont even think I'd pull out the cart, I'd just say, Drinks are $2, ring the call button if you're interested in a drink and I'll come and take your order...

Now there's some solid customer service!!!! Are you sure you're not a F/A? I think I've worked with you before..........

No kidding..we've all seen that before...when that person isn't doing sodukos or reading People, they are in the galley making their salad with tuna from home and lettuce and tomatos and other stuff from a salad bar at some all-you-can-eat restaurant.

This nickel and diming has got to stop, Delta! What's next, 2 dollaz for a soda? Out--- rage- us!

 

[US Oringinal]

What if we all just didn't do it?

BRAVO!!!!!

What would happen if all the flight attendants just refused to collect the $2----I have serious problems with not having any type of free "hydration" available for customers stuck on an airplane for 5 or 6 hours!! Plus the fact that this is all being rolled out with our the APPROPRIATE TOOLS(once again) being in place or solid procedural guidelines--it's going to be a big mess. ANd once again, the frontline employees are being sent into battle with our customers by Tempe?

What would happen if we just refused to do it???

One thing I know for sure about F/A's--if it doesn't make sense, and it doesn't work, and we don't have the proper tools to do it, and it "pits" us against our customers---we just don't do it!!

And for those who say "its no big deal--its only $2"---you have little grasp of reality on an airplane. Either that or you are secretly drinking the kool-aid.


(DEAR TEMPE--the above is just my opinion, so PLEEEZE don't call me into ANOTHER meeting about my posts here--it's my 1st Amendment right---GET OVER IT!!! you should be spending your time trying to run this airline properly)

I thought it was $50 and no charge for the 1st bag for any customers.

You are correct....

Oh ok. No big deal then. $10 more than US. Darn Delta...

 

[ITRADE]

At least you will get your status miles on Delta!

Yaaaawn. Why are we responsible and required to offer "free" hydration again? They know they will be stuck on the airplane for 6 hours, and there is plenty of potable water if they have not had access to newspapers or TV's for the last year or so.

Plus, I'm sure it won't be a big deal to just comp something at your discretion.... It's not like they are making us count the cans, so FA's will have to use their discretion, and their heads....

Also, what appropriate tools do you need to collect $2? I think half a brain should suffice.

And for those who say "its no big deal--its only $2"---you have little grasp of reality on an airplane. Either that or you are secretly drinking the kool-aid.

Aah the infamous "kool aid" defense. IMO, the same FA's that whine, moan and complain about every single change will be the same ones that have a huge problem with this. (We all know who they are...) They will stop moaning when they realize they are in fact doing LESS work, and can sit and read OK magazine and knit just a little bit longer.....

The rest of us will collect the $$, and move the trolley through with a smile, not really creating as much drama as anticipated here.... I do enjoy the stories of chaos and anarchy.. all for $2.
