Some nuance would help here.

In other words, follow procedure unless it's something you don't like?

The up side is that the FAs can spend more time in the galley reading Peoples.
No wonder some UA staff intensely dislike FTers. I have just rarely encountered anything like that, but I guess it's rhetorically effective (as 1/2 the threads now in this forum show )

Oh goody. Another analogy.

These are people who don't care about their jobs,
Would concur if you changed "these" to "some."

I just wish they could say to themselves, "This is the job I have chosen, I can't leave right now, so I'm going to my job well."
Most of the UA staff I have encountered have exactly that attitude and respond in-kind to a positive and cheerful attitude on my part.
