The behavior of the public in general, amazes me. It gets worse every year.
It's interesting how people will assume that you are a flight attendant or a pilot immediately, like there are no other positions... :blink:When I admit at times I work for an airline, the answer I get is 'geez I always to be a flight attendant'.
Perhaps they were on a newly configured 320 and there was nowhere to hang the coat...lolHe was probably mad because they wouldn't hang up his coat!
Big difference between the three. FAMs would be closest to being a part of the crew. They brief with us pre-flight and are working inflight for the safe passage of all passengers. I have been a "ghostrider", and I was in no way a part of the crew--they did not even know that I was onboard. Roaches are just passengers and are not working inflight at all...otherwise they'd lay off the multiple vodka tonics.FAM as "crew member".
I would consider a FAM a crewmember when "roaches" or "ghostriders" are considered crewmembers.
Bob, I'm glad you have our backs!Short of striking a Federal Officer, I think one of the dumbest things I could do is to attempt to intervene on more than a verbal level.
Physically intervening as a customer just has to many potential bad outcomes on several levels and I'm not eager to test my luck.
The exception being of course is if the customer in question overpowers a smaller F/A and places him/her in real jeopardy.
