Yesterday I read a post about two FAs, primarily one, whining about how they board flights on Delta and could be more efficient and that corporate sucks but at least they get to fly in first a lot whereas first on Alaska is meh.

Today two flight attendants are YAPPING loudly across to one another about the food, and all of us here in First can hear it. I’m not going to lodge an official complaint, because it’ll probably get the FA in trouble and she’s RIGHT. The catering department switched from boxes to trays of food - I’m really excited I have a chance of getting real food instead of a snack - and apparently did the worst job of consistency ever. She said every tray is missing different items and they’re going to have to spend hours while flying to make sure everyone (dunno if it’s EVERYONE or just first) gets a consistent meal and isn’t missing vital items. Cheese. You name it.

Her frenetic screaming to her other FA was not something I wanted to hear, or theoretically professional, but if she’s had a long day and is stressed and willing to do the work necessary to get us all our proper meals, I’ll appreciate her. It would probably be the same stuff I would say, if I had an office away from the customers. Unfortunately they really don’t.

Will be happy to report how the meal comes out. Was never given an option to pre reserve food in advance as this was a last hour upgrade clearing.

More off topic but I was certain my GSP to CLT flight would clear me into first, and it was half empty when I walked to my regular seat, but alas, no one got cleared. Didn’t look like spare FAs came on board so not sure what happened there. Maybe just some late passengers but there were several open first seats just a few hours prior. Meh 😝
