What!!?? You mean we don't get to re-elect the current bullheaded stupidity that is in the oval office? What happened to the good ol' days before the 22nd amendment?? Maybe we can bring them back along with dressing to the hilt for air travel and complete prudish absurdity that came along with the times. :D

Still--and I apparently have to repeat this YET again--the FA was acting in a professional capacity, representing both him/herself and the airline, and should have been fully trained on how to handle irate customers. "Customer" is the key word here. Pax have every right to get angry at the crap that the commercial air industry (TSA, airlines, airports, etc.) subject us to just to get from A to B (or, in the case of MR folks, A to B to C to D to F to B to C to F to A). :D The airline employees need to FULLY understand the concept that the pax are f'ing sick and tired of the crap hand we get dealt on a regular basis.

With all the comments berating the OP (and I think I was more than fair in my first post about this), I find it more and more difficult to accept that the FA felt he/she had no other choice. I work in IT, and I can't stand the idiocy of the average user because they cause 60% of the problems that we have to resolve. But it doesn't mean we berate them, or call the authorities. It's a part of the business, and part of the profession we chose. If the FA has problems dealing with the reactions from understandably frustrated and pissed off pax in todays air travel climate, then it's high time he/she found a new profession.

If it means that ticket prices increase to allow the airlines to expand their gates and reduce the frequent delays, fine. But give us, as the paying customers, more than just the sh!t we've had to endure recently.

Your right...how very wrong of me. Spandex, flip flops, rollers and nose rings DO go together and we all ARE interested in hearing your cell phone conversation about your "effing" lab results. My bad. First impressions do NOT count. I must have heard it wrong. :rolleyes:

No, those things do matter...to small and petty people. What kind of person are you?

Speaking of which, has anyone read about the nice "hooters" lady that was humiliated by an hyper-sensative moral fashion police officer ( supervisor ) at Southwest recently?

I hope she gets a years free travel out of it.

I am gay, but I will take her as she was dressed over the "butt cracks" and "rotten toenails" that I seem to see everytime I fly. :td:

What was it someone once said?

"Lord, save me from your followers.":confused:

"Give me a break." ( Jon Stossel )

Swearing should always be legal, it allows you to know what kind of person your dealing with.

A civilized person, or an ........ :D

When confronted with excessive time on the tarmac with no gate assignment in sight, I like the ever popular phrase, "Excuse me FA I have a slight pressure in my chest and my left arm feels funny." To guarantee an even faster gate assignment, "Could you help me open this bottle and place a pill under my tongue." :D

The boy who cried wolf springs to mind.

Faking a medical emergency onboard an aircraft - another way to get the authorities involved.... ^

Exactly!!! ^

I agree. It was good that the OP at least admitted he dropped the F bomb as that would show that he was wrong to some degree. It does add at least a little more credence to what he said.

Ah, the good ole days, when everyone knew their place, blacks, sorry coloreds in the back of the bus, women, errr broads could be secretaries, nurses, FAs or teachers and had the pleasure of making--what was it--30 cents to a man's dollar? Oh it was grand when no Irish needed to apply, or before Italians and other Southern Europeans were considered "white".

No replies from the OP? Perhaps this was a wind-up?

In the late spring of this year I was delayed at Dca on AA from about 9 p.m. until midnight because of a freezing drizzle. During this three hours we could watch automobile traffic whizzing by on the GW Parkway that runs past the airport. We could not get a gate because departing aircraft could not push back in freezing drizzle.
It was painful and frustrating as all of my public transport options disappeared for the night as we waited. In these circumstances airline pax have to become somewhat "Japanese" in order to survive the tense, cramped conditions in the aircraft cabin.

Complain to the CS for delays, not the FA. I hope the OP learned his lesson.
