OT: Airline Customer Service at It’s Finest.

[nostradamus]

I thought the cracker comment was funny and not offensive in any way. We’re all adults here. FLU was clearly joking. Please nobody start worrying about whether others will be offended by certain words, no matter what you do or say in life someone somewhere will be offended so don’t even try. I like the loose nature of this blog. In the non-cyber world I’ve been called a crazy cracker, a pinche yankee, and a stupid, white motherfucker on numerous occasions (usually at the poker table). Getting offended is a choice.

I travel a lot and am absolutely disgusted by the treatment I get from some airline employees; however, they are a small percentage (maybe 2%) compared to the great treatment I’ve gotten from airline employees… Unfortunately the super-offensive 2% are the ones we all remember, and not the wonderful 98%.

Are flight attendants even allowed to sleep on such a relatively short trip? I mean, I can see napping if you’re doing the nonstop Frankfurt to San Francisco flight…but, come on. Looks like this whole situation needs to be looked at by the National Transportation Safety Board, or whichever org is in charge.

MANmom,

First off. I wasn't implying anything about someone's race when i said "cracker". It was someone people use to say about anyone that's kinda the fussy/ class clown type of people (inclusive). Last time I checked, crackers come in all colors and sizes, and most of them are actually yellow. So, if you interpreted this as this meaning "white", I'm sorry you have that interpretation. And it's also why I don't get all huffy-puffy when someone accidentally calls a person "oriental" if they didn't mean for it to be derogatory. Personally, I think people are just a wee bit sensitive reading way to much into words, and most of the time people mean no offense at all.

The reason why i thought about "class clown", is because personally an see myself getting into this situation above, and that no one believing me afterwards. I'm still waiting to here both side of this story. Part of me wants to believe couldn't possibly happen. But, if you've flown recently on any airline, you'll notice that customer service has taken a dump across the board.

The only thing I'm not surprised about is this didn't happen on Southwest. Well, I guess at least this guy didn't get booted off the flight for wearing a skimpy outfit.

You’ve gotta admit flying Southwest is like riding the bus… The short bus! Every time I take a Southwest flight I’m blown away by the people around me. It’s no wonder the employees act the way they do: they are numb from their experiences. People just get STUPID when they fly.
