To respond to the several points made by other posters, particularly WASBLR (!), here goes:

1. Like I said in the original post, am not expecting beauty queens to crew the flight. It was just a comment on how the FAs are not unlike the airline - old, irresponsible, often uncouth and totally unprofessional.

2. Flight info: Agree that if you don't want to listen, don't. But why be given the choice in the case of rubbish? I'd be surprised if the pilot could even read basic English, forget flight manuals, that's how bad. Again, refer point 1 above - unprofessional. I don't pay for cr@p.

3. Water when LJ was served: Not right away is fine, but not when (a) i tell the FA that water is required for medication, and (b) it is right in front of the FA on the trolley.

4. To the many points on exit row seating: In the case of an emergency, are the crew really going to re-seat passengers on their exit row first before commencing other duties? I think not. It isn't called "Emergency" exit for no reason. Thanks carrotjuice for making my point, but in this case, what do you do when the airline itself is irresponsible???

I don't plan to complain to AI - what's the point anyways. Oh and btw, here was the ONE thing I really wanted to put up on the OP but completely forgot. The FA serving the forward section of Y was actually digging for gold up his nose, when the food service was going on. Needless to say, I didn't have any of the food served, just the lime juice / lemon flavoured water / whatever you call it.
