FA Pushed Around Sat On Duty Free cart - 777 (UK-USA)
On a TATL yesterday from LHR to the US. FAs we're having a great time with female FA being pushed around the plane sat on the cart while waving the duty free magazine (not recklessly). Lots and smiles and laughs from passengers.
Fantastic to see crew enjoying their jobs with lots of passenger interaction throughout the flight - great atmosphere on board and high passenger + crew morale! ^^ |
Great Crews(usually)
Having just finished my fourth(out of five)PIA-ORD-MIA-SJU-DFW-ORD-PIA run(I actually stay two nights in SJU)in last seven weeks I can report many instances of enjoyable crew interactions: in !B was deadhead MD-80 captain who was very pleasant to sit next to, traded lots of stories. Front cabin crews SJU-DFW almost always attentive. Last but not least Eagle FA known from one prior flight greets me profusely at ORD gate prior to boarding.
"We know why you fly" For me, besides the usual concerns of safety, flight completion, etc. are friendly and professional crew. |

In the spirit of "no good deed goes unpunished," you might want to remove flight identifying info so the FA doesn't catch any flak from corporate.
Sounds like a nice flight. |

That's great. What happens when a cart falls over an injures the employee or a passenger? What is "not recklessly?" The aisle of an aircraft of an airline full of passengers doesn't seem like the best place for this.

Are you serious? Do you fly?
Of course I fly. I have also seen injury caused by improper use of these carts. Of course, it is permitted by their employer, then I guess there would be nothing for any of the passengers to complain about, because, after all, some of them were amused. |

I agree. FA sitting on top of duty free cart? Apart from AA (almost certainly against) and FAA (don't know) regulations, this, it seems to me, is going to exacerbate any unexpected turbulence related injuries. Either they're there primarily for our safety or they're not. They can't have it both ways. And I agree with a comment upthread. What happens when the cart, now top heavy and a bit unstable, topples onto and injures some passenger. There goes the FA's job along with a non-trivial chunk of cash from AA.
I probably would have reported her. |

As long as my meal arrives in a timely manner, and my cocktail is refilled, have fun.

I genuinely do understand how some passengers (and indeed FTers) love antics such as this and the "hilarious" cabin announcements on Southwest.
I certainly wouldn't report them or complain but I think I may well be sat there wishing I had a more professional cabin crew looking after us in a US$250 million metal tube at 35,000ft. It's an aeroplane not a bouncy castle. |
I don't see how some people have a problem with this?!
I think some of you may be imagining the FAs racing down the aisle like in chariots. I am sure the reality, was, like normally when the push the duty free cart, it goes quite slowly, its just instead of the FA at the front just holding the magazine up, she was actually sat on the cart. Those carts are pretty heavy to push, especially with an FA on, so I doubt it was going very fast. Only injury issue I see here is from the other FA pushing such a heavy cart. . . |
