[B]Can't say generally but, a friend who is a FA with AA once told me they call domestic first class (especially at rush hour) "12 Angry Men"
We refer to First Class as the ICU (intensive care unit) and Business class as Bitter/Busy class.
I am qualified to fly purser at AA. If I could fly any position regularly it would be as position number 9 on a 767 or 12 on a 777. This position is main cabin extra. You don't have to go outside and pull tickets and you hang out in the back while somebody cooks the meals, sets up the food service, and finally throws you your cart to do the meal or beverage service. It's a complete no brainer.
I hate Bitter class. No matter what flight you are on, this section sucks. If I can't be in the back, I'll take purser. It's fun. People in first and people in coach are usually pretty fun. If I fly business, I'm the business class chef. The only thing I won't do, and most senior FA's won't, is business class aisle. Though, there are some sicko's who prefer it.
