Stay classy AA

"All of y'all in premium economy, listen up. Don't y'all go botherin' those folk up in first class. If y'all trays ain't open when I come though, y'all ain't eatin'."

Good.

colleague and I at Priority boarding lane during Group 5 boarding:
GA: we're only boarding one lane
me: I have Priority boarding
GA: we're only boarding one lane
me: but Priority Access boards at any time
GA: (angry) y'all need to move yourselves to the back of the line wiff everyone else
AA CS response: we've alerted the management at ORD to have the staff retrained.

Do GA’s in Chicago get southern accents when they are angry?

Southerners aren't the only ones who say y'all; from the "move yourselves" and "wiff" elsewhere I'm picking up a different dialect, easily found in Chicago.

Yeah, I'm familiar with what white people mean when they type in faux ebonic code. I was just curious (hopeful) that they weren't just racial stereotyping.

Transcribing what someone says isn't stereotyping.
