I just wonder how many bad experiences people have start out with the pax being snotty, rude, or short to the FA based on their previous bad experience. We are all guilty of it. You have a rough go-round with a GA so the next time you have to deal with one, you "gear up" for it, thinking this time it will be the same. I just think people would be surprised at what a little common courtesy will get them.Too many years in the service industry make me sympathize with anyone else in the business I guess.
