LOL! That will never happen. You see, the job of most everyone here is waaaay more important than any Flight Attendant job on any day of the week.

But the funny thing is, that big important plane full of big important people cannot get off the ground without the useless Flight Attendants.

True story: I was boarding a flight one night, greeting passengers, answering questions... a woman with a baby comes aboard looking all discombobulated.
She hands her baby to me, not a problem. I've held more babies than I can count, and she disappears. I'm assuming that she's gone to her seat to get settled and come back for her child. All the while I'm having a little fun with the baby and joking with passengers. Future Flight Attendant in training. Who is more senior? Bring your grandkids to work day, etc. I'm even making my announcements with this baby on my hip.

Now it's getting close to closing the door. The mother never returned. The other Flight Attendants working upfront during boarding couldn't remember what she looked like. So I had another Flight Attendant take over for me at the boarding door.

I went to look for the mother. I found her nice and comfortable reading a book. I smiled and said to her "I think we might have forgotten something."
Her response: "You don't expect ME to hold that baby for the entire flight do you?" I said. "Yes I do. It's your child." Her response: "It's YOUR job to take care of the baby." Still being pleasant, I reminded her that we don't offer babysitting services on board our flights. With each of her responses, she was getting louder.

Her next response: "The nanny couldn't make this trip and I am not going to hold a child all the way to Europe."

The other passengers had noticed by now that this woman was refusing her own child. Some were even commenting upon her lack of mothering abilities.

Now play time was over. My final response: "Madam, you will take your child and care for it on this flight. If you refuse, I will contact the Gate Manager who will decide for you."

She took the child. She wasn't happy. She also didn't bring diapers, milk or all the little extras that one needs when traveling with an infant.

Luckily for this woman, the Flight Attendants were able to locate parents who were willing to give this woman diapers, milk, bottles and extra baby blankets for the baby. One other mother was so digusted with this woman that she offered to hold and change the baby while her husband held their child.

The woman with the problem of taking care of her child, complained to the company about the poor service on the flight. The whole crew was called in to explain what happened. None of us recieved any negative feedback in our files and left the manager shaking her head at the whole situation.
