None of really knows what happened in this situation. I suspect the truth will be flushed out through litigation. And I really hope my colleague is not guilty as charged. As a flight attendant, I know what we have to deal with both on and off the job. All I can say is this: Fellow flight attendant brothers and sisters please leave no stone unturned. Be diligent in executing your safety related duties. Do not turn a blind eye to any safety infractions and please remember that there will be no "providing good customer service" mulligans at the expense of safety. It not always easy, but we must maintain the safety of the cabin, and in so doing, we must always do so with due diligence because we never know who's watching. Frankly, I could care less about the #### who has a cavalier attitude about his safety. And if his cavalier attitude only affected him then to hell with him, he's on his own. But the reality is, through his devil may care attitude he may very well affect the safety and well being of the passenger sitting in 17c who has listened to us and is doing everything we've asked him to do. Cover your behinds folks. CYA!!!!!! Because if you don't, the company will not give you a mulligan. They will sanction you!
