CMcG, this flight attendant was catching a flight home, she was a commuter, not on duty at the time. She cannot be charged with anything…she was essentially a passenger. As for having to put up with grumpy flight attendants, you can’t imagine what the flight crews have to put up with. Customers have become so un-civilized. I have personally witnessed more awful behavior from passengers, and the flight crews just have to smile and take it. What happens after the passengers get off the plane would turn your stomach…my husband and his crew have to clean the plane. You cannot imagine what they find left behind by some pigs…from dirty diapers to puke in magazines…I could go on, but you probably don’t want to hear it. Suffice it to say you don’t want to know.
FLU, I was not offended by the “cracker” comment, maybe though you should find another word, that one does not mean what you think it means…it has always been a derogatory term for whites…
And by the way, rich people don’t fly discount airlines, they fly the majors with their first class fares. The hoi paloi fly the other less expensive flights…this guy didn’t even pay for his flight, he was on a “buddy pass”, which is a perk given to employees.
As to the other comments, my husband knows of the incident, but no, he has not talked to anyone on the plane, I just hope the real story comes out, this one is just too preposterous to be believed, but most people hear the story and fail to even want to believe anything else.
