Actually, though I am lucky ( or good ) enough to be able to fly up front most of the time, I have had nothing but pleasant experiences with AA FA since they adjusted to the last pay cuts.
Well this attitude caught me by surprise. I fly a few carriers, but most of my miles are on DL metal. DL FA's are generally pleasant, often downright friendly. Who knows where the anonymous Budget Travel FA is employed.
I'm not losing any sleep over it, and would do it again and expect a different, more appropriate reaction.
robb, thanks for posting the link. Everyone should read this, it's only one page of print. Again, in my experience, it's not representative. Gawd, I wish I knew who employed that b**ch!
