Funny how things change so quickly...
I remember after 9/11 when the airlines were finally free to fly the skies again how courteous, friendly and polite everyone was, even for several months after the attacks...I thought IF there was anything good to come from the tragedy...we had become better people, looking out for our fellow citizen...now it's back to the "all about me" attitude. I see the same thing in deplaning an aircraft and was actually screamed at a couple of weeks ago when I asked a lady to wait a moment when stepping off the aircraft so that we could get a wheelchair passenger turned around and headed up the jetway...I was dumbfounded someone would be so inconsiderate.
