Hopefully the general public will start remembering their manners, because alot of them have forgotten the basics, and think they are entitled to be rude to anyone and get compensated in this country.

I agree but it goes both ways. I have seen way to many rude flt attendents on my recent trips.

I ma sure there are some, some days. However, do the swaer/curse at passengers irrationally? I don't think so.

I can't imagine why. It will take another 9/11 before the flying public BEHAVES again. The flying public is collectively rude, uninformed, entitled, nasty, and just plain ignorant.

While being "rude", which is all too subjective, is not good, the American people need to understand that flying in the USA is NOW public transportation in the sky and that the days of lavish service is over unless you can pay the price.

And f/a's need to choose their battles carefully and understand that it IS public transportation in the sky and not take everything personally.

So yes, there are two sides.

The passangers are pushing back after years of being mistreated. While I would agree that some of the methods could be better, the F/A should realize there is bent up hostility and they are in the customer contact position that will be dealing with it.

The company execs will certainly make some minor show of "supporting our employees", this will not be terribly effective since 1) a larger and larger portion of the travelers are fealing mistreated, 2) the execs do not interact with the customers so its a front line and not their problem.

Calling the cops is just an admission that the customer contact is not really handled well. Effort should be made over the longer term to make the flying experience pleasant for everyone. Also, employees should consider if their current job is the best match for their skils.

Just ask the CO Agent in EWR who a passenger took and broke his neck.

If you don't like the way a particular airline treats you no one forces you to do business with them.

All people care about is cheap fares.

Ok Bob,

Most non-regular fliers and only some FFs only care about the fares.

Piney and 700, Its nice to see you boys are playing nice! Mama

"Most non-regular fliers and only some FFs only care about the fares."

I think the vast majority of passengers care about fares. While there may well be a very small number that don't, most don't want to feel "gouged".

The operative word is "cheap" - as in cheap fares.

Most FF's, and even some infrequent fliers, have travel requirements that don't lend themselves to shopping for the lowest fares. These folks then look at the value proposition, which is an individual and subjective perspective.

Well stated Jim!

People purchasing lower fares can NOT be excused for poor behavior. There is no justification fo behaving like an ass, and some people need a reminder they are not at home.

He said the airline typically tries to put an ejected passenger on a later flight "if it wasn't too big of an incident."

So what’s that supposed to be? Time out in the cloakroom, or waiting until the pax sobers up?

1) have you observed the boarding area's?
2) Do ya live like a pig at home-leave trash everywhere?
3) I am not Your MAID!-fIND A TRASH can and thow it away yourself.
4) Throw your kid's stinkey diaper in the washrooms, not in my trash bin,where I'm working-yes you read that correctly.
5) SHall I continue?

How many rude customers do you think they saw on a day with 6 legs?
