I've had a few pilots too give the "no galley loitering" speeches. Most of them do it in a friendly way. I've also seen business as usual on most flights with the F/A's happy to chat etc.

islandgirl - I am convinced you are some kind of troll. Communication is part of life, and talking to people is part of a customer contact role, which is part of what a F/A does. As someone else said we know when we're welcome and not welcome. I had a few F/A's stop and chat with me yesterday because they saw I had a bag with a UA logo on it, and we had a great chat and it certainly was not that they didn't want to talk. Other F/A's often cameby my seat and remarked on the gorgeous pacific sunrise outside my window. etc etc.

And no, we don't all ask "the same boring questions" (whatever they are!) and we don't try and hit on every F/A. sheesh. Love the generalisations!
