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

[aredeeyou22]

I'm told they were an ACE.

Is that another word for "nark?"

It makes me laugh - I think if i had a supervisor on my flight - I would step past the exit row and bust into CIARA and start singing "wait - wait a minute" ooohhhh i am not supposed to be here - punish me baby - just one more time... and then roll my eyes and laugh. Then continue on my merry way to the rear of the aircraft after busting into - I'm bringing sexyback - MORONS!!!!

But can you sing Sexyback in tune... 😛

I know her and my guess is NO!

I certainly hope so! We hate this crap that they implemented on us and our union agreed to this stupid procedure. One of our flight attendant who was a flight attendant a month got suspended (because the company wanted to set an example). He's a great flight attendant who always works first class and always helps out in the main cabin by doing coffee and tea service. He goes above and beyond, but the company punished him anyway because he went passed over wing. I hope they change it because the service suffers.

First off the union did not agree to anything and if you worked at HP long enough the council can only make reccomendations on procedures. The company does not call the office and say "Hey is like okay if we do this BS procedure.. do you mind.. we want input?" Its like this. The company comes up with some assbackward way of doing something.. we call the union and complain.. and there begins the fight.

All this strong arm attitude comes from the director of inflight Anthony Mule. Hes a real jerk and strongly believes its his way or the highway. Flight Attendants on the west side AVOID the inflight supervisors because they are only out to punish you for every little thing they can do to make sure something negative goes in your file. I have NEVER had any positive communications from that department in all my 23 years at America West(now US Airways). Everyone in that department comes off as your friend. I'm here to help you,were all for you...blah,blah,blah.... But call in sick, have a health problem, need a personal day, some compassion for your situation ......GOOD LUCK!!!!!! There all idots!!!!

I had better luck with my supervisor, who has now left for another position. I was generally treated well and fairly. However, I know that I was also lucky because most of the West folks have many more issues with supervisors then I did. As I said, I was lucky.

I remember when I was very new and at my first Charm School (the Westie's will remember), I saw Anthony Mule and gave him a compliment. His reaction was shocking. He reminded me of someone who had been slapped in the face. I noted the reaction and over time I learned why he had reacted so. He was indeed a snake in the grass.

When this company is fully integrated and we have a collective 7 bases plus LAS I don't think this kind of micromanage crap will be able to continue. There are waaaaaay to many of us for it. MANY of the folks here on the east will NEVER put up with it. Nobody is any weaker or stronger, just less patience for stupid crap. We have had sooo many things in the past that the company tried to implement and it flew like the spruce goose, for a brief minute. Spend time implementing something else. I'll fly around and ghost ride. I had one in July that watched a DVD. He briefed us super quick at the 2L door on the 757 at the end of the flight. I gave him a look like, "you better cross EVERY T and dot EVERY i pal if your gonna say ANYTHING to us. He observed his soda and pretzels and that is about it. I flew with him many times. If this dude can do it anyone can. Anyway, the rule is stupid and won't last. We'll all laugh about it later.

 

[Happy_People]

BOHICA! I just want to warn you... Flight attendants on the east keep saying we won't put up with that crap...all I can say is remember who was promoted to be inflight director of all bases?? Wait until they get their hands on you. Its a matter of time. Life has been hell over here. Micromanagement is an understatement. I believe there is micromanagers of the micromangers. If you don't follow certain rules over here its automatic discipline and/or something in your file. GUILTY UNITL PROVEN INNOCENT! Its just plain crazy! I hope that things change and mellow out, i really do!

 

[CLTBWIDAYSYR]

I am REALLY confused. On the East side, as long as there is a flight attendant in the forward (first class) area, it doesn't matter who goes where on the a/c. This crap about the A not being able to walk past the exit row is the most assinine thing I've heard in quite a while. Who comes up with this stuff?!

 

[Happy_People]

The west policy is that one flight attendant must remain in the FWD cabin at all times, the fwd cabin being defined as f/c to overwing on A320,A319,B737, an cabins A&B on the B757. One flight attendant must be in that area at all times. So if you are first trying to help the main pick up trash you can not step one row past the exit row to collect grabage. Then you get a dirty look from that person waiving their crap 3 rows past the exit row.

I would not mind this rule if it had a PURPOSE! But it's just silly. Rules just to have Rules need to go!

I love that analogy!

It does: a 110 pound female in heels as the last line of protection for a poor, defenseless KEVLAR door.

a 110 pound female in heels

OK, when's the last time you saw one of those on the plane...except if she was 4'2"? 😉
