F/A going past the wing, what is the deal?

[JAXPax]

I think the cart thing sounds better, some of us are not that big and could be run down by someone intent on getting up there. Now if Big Bertha is working "A" no problem. Speaking of Big Bertha, I flew with her the other day and since when do we blow our @$$ out when standing in the aisle in FC. I'm not kidding either, I think she blew 3D and F right off the tracks along with the bulkhead wall, I think she may have bruised her behind as well because she couldn't sit still for landing. :unsure:

On a US B737 flight on Saturday, probably had this flight attendant. I have this same F/A on 3 or 4 flights in the last 3 months, which is just spooky considering how many F/A that US has....

Large woman with very disheveled appearance, wearing a knee-length apron/jumper that buttons up the side and goes all the way down the back and the front... certainly not uniform. And stained to high-heaven. Sounded drunk on the PA, slurring words together until they were unintelligible... "2LR... This is USairwaystcharlotte..."

Susie Snowflake needs to remember that drinking mini's is not allowed until you get to the hotel for your 12 hour or longer overnight...lol

Anyone in PHL remember that old broad that always had her wig on crooked and lipstick all over her face and teeth, smoker, always talked like she was drunk? The best 2-day trip I have ever had, laughed the entire time just watching her. God I miss the old days!!!

No silly, that is the pose I saw on the HP 737 when the F/A was yelling to the gate agent that she had no authority to disarm the door. The only difference was that F/A was doing the Wonder Woman pose in the kneeling position.

It's more like this without the bathing suit.

That pose that you saw is a "Signal" for the gate agent not to open the 737 door because the door is still armed. If the flight attendant hadn't done that, the gate agent would have accidentally poppped the slide and most likely seriously injured herself or killed her by the impact of the slide deployment.

Ohh see on the "East" we have this little orange strap over the view hole that lets all on the outside know the door is still "Armed". Ohh, and on the 737 we crack the door after it has been disarmed. The Airbus, is however opened by the agent.

She was nekkid?!

That’s not Procedure!

 

[PHX-F/A]

It will be the east way..I was already told by someone out west that it is going to change to the east procedure...so now all you westies can move about the a/c like you should be able to without getting written up. Whoever wrote that rule is an idiot!

the company kind of freaked out when they found evidence after 9-11 that Atta had scouted some of our flights. That's probably where the rule came from.

That is to funny.

"If I wanted in that flight deck, all I have to do is wait for the door to open and I splatter that wisp of a F/A and BAM I'm in, no problem" Better to use the cart as a blocker. But that would require forethought and planning.

Some were doing that, some captains required it, but Inflight killed it. I forget what the reason was. Stupid is as stupid does.

I flew with her. She always looked like she stepped off the set of the Birds..you know, the attic scene.

After 9/11 the FBI was all over the training center, apparently some of them had been to it.

Why couldn't she disarm it? Because it wasn't "her" door???? If so, does that apply for emergencies too??

 

[Travelpro72]

Exactly....At east when on the 737 you disarm the door as soon as the captain turns off the seatbelt sign and you hear the bell. You are to do NOTHING else until that door is disarmed strap removed from the window and cross checked. I don't think ANYONE talks the way they do in the training video "Your door has been crosschecked". 🙄 So why the kneeling and crossing the arms thing? I thought all older boeings had the strap, 737, 727? Hmmmm sounds a little silly. Add a strap to the window and then the agent will know whether it is armed or not.....

 

[US1YFARE]

Add a strap to the window and then the agent will know whether it is armed or not.....

uh, yah, because the agent certainly couldn't hear her yelling and i would imagine that the agent could not see her through that tiny scratched up window kneeling on the floor in the wonder woman pose. what was even funnier was that the captain said it was ok to disarm and she didn't hear him so her "routine" was not even necessary because she was already given the "ok" to disarm by the captain. I would like to see the East F/A's wait for that.
