Oh my god, nothing is classier than the plastic party cups we have.
There is NOTHING pleasant about any of the aethetics of the cactus era. Drab, dated, amateur looking flat colors that are not flattering to the surfaces they are on. And presentation? From an airline that wants it's flight attendants to put a shared dirty bucket of ice on top of a beverage cart, and rips down galleys to give a close up view of food preperation, with firefighting equiptment prominently displayed? And dresses their cabin crews in t-shirts and gym warm-ups?
Seriously, what kind of trailer park are these people from?
This one is worth a reprint too:
Q. I would like to address the practice of passengers using smokeless tobacco products on flights. To sit next to someone constantly spitting into a plastic bottle for a couple of hours is really disgusting especially as it begins to swirl around in the container. Just try to enjoy a snack while this is taking place! I know it's not an airline regulation, but perhaps tobacco products could be disallowed entirely as is smoking.
A. You are correct in that there is no regulation governing this activity. Bob Hemphill, Director, InFlight Training/Policies and Procedures, tells us that although potentially offensive to some passengers, the industry does not view this activity to be threatening to the safety of flight or aircraft equipment Additionally, it can be very difficult to detect; and attempting to enforce such a policy that is not industry standard could result in confrontational behavior which we are making every effort to reduce. It is always advisable to remind our customers that our InFlight professionals will make every effort to reseat them if they request to be reseated. This solution works well in most situations and happens multiples times per day for reasons such as loud talking, personal entertainment choices, etc. As you know, our company truly wants to do everything possible to provide a great experience for our customers.
