For once it seems like the airlines are backing up their cabin crew by not selling alcohol.

I chaperoned a school trip to California and back that flew on Southwest the week before last, and the poor cabin crew were about done in. Any time you gather 100+ Americans together, at least some of them will be of below average intelligence, and those folks seem to struggle with masks.

One couple who dressed and acted like they maybe should have been on a higher class of service than a WN flight out of John Wayne were told in the airport, during boarding, on the plane several times, and finally again once they arrived at Sky Harbor to wear their masks / wear their masks properly. Their responses were rude, and they acted like victims every time. And they wanted to redeem WN drink chits on the flight, which of course made them upset when they could not.

Just sitting near them was exhausting, and the amount of emotional energy they consumed from all around them, but particularly the flight attendants, was enormous. I cannot imagine dealing with them and their fellow travelers all day long while fueled by drinks.
