Derek: While my tounge was firmly planted in cheek when I posted the above, your response rankles me.

To wit: why should I have any more sympathy for a flight a attendent who commutes to work than he or she has for me, a paying customer (and paying a LOT more than $100 for a coast to coast flight), who is on a plane "commuting to work" even though my "work" and the fa's "work" is somewhat different.

The issues of employees dominating first clas s on 3-class aircraft has been beaten to death. Let's just say that I'll agree to strongly disagree with you on this one...

And BTW, if that FA doesn't like the commute, the FA should consider living in his/her base of operation...

Oh yeah, and Merry X-mas!!!!!
