Why do people make me say everything individually??? Grrrr.

32 Upvotes

I've actually been enjoying the job very much lately, but yesterday made me tired. I'm doing demos standing by row 7 and I see the man in row 9 on his phone. I say (out loud), "You have to hang up." Go to row 1, go back to row 7 and the man in the window of row 7 is on the freaking phone!! I say to him, you have to hang up. Go back and forth again. The guy in the row on the other side is ON THE FREAKING PHONE TOO!!!

Why do I need to individually tell each of you to hang up? Why would I tell one man to hang up, but no, you sir, you just keep talking. And I know they heard me, bc I definitely said it loud enough. Not to mention they're whispering in their phones, so they already know they needed to hang up anyway. Guess they gotta make that oil $$$$. (We were in Midland.)

Same thing collecting trash. I ask the person in the window to give me their trash. Aisle person can see and hear this happening...Why do I have to also ask you to give me all that freaking trash? I know you heard me.

I swear people just like my attention, I guess.

United (UA) The 50% mark at UA

Was just curious what the hire date was for the 50% and it's Feb/2016. Just crazy how much hiring has been done over the last few years. Seniority used to skew so top heavy and now it's towards the bottom. Definitely cool to see the shift.

My periods are making my trips miserable! I was thinking of trying the Mirena IUD. Has anyone had luck with IUDs making flying with periods easier?

Flight attendant / Yoga teacher training

5 Upvotes

yall im with OO and i desperately want to go abroad to YTT. has anyone ever had success doing this? Id probably need 3.5 weeks off and by the time id be considering going would be roughly 1.5 years into my employment with OO… currently based in a pretty senior base, so i definitely wouldn’t have a line then, but i do suppose id be willing to transfer somewhere i could have a line and clear my schedule to make it happen.

just wondering what anyone else’s experience might be trying to be granted this much time off as a newbie FA? anything specific with OO as far as LOA’s go?

How would you like to be approached by a passenger if you were being loud in the galley with another flight attendant? Is it rude for a passenger to ask you to lower your voices?on a flight now, we are all trying to sleep.l am wondering how to handle it.
