I can pretty much guarantee that a flight attendant is not going to be able to offer much help in this regard.

Totally agree! I think it would be great to have a CO FA thread!

Second! Sfogate provides awesome insight into the ground operations, how about from the perspective of an FA (no disrespect intended to the past/current posters, just the more the better).

I'm also here to help with any questions regarding "inflight". I will admit the things that I have learned about the Onepass program and FF'er's was by reading what you have said on this BB.

If I don't have an answer, I will try to find it for you...

Okay I'll start with a question, if you are a DOM FA do you prefer working F or Y and if you are an INTL FA do you prefer J or Y?

I am a Domestic F/A and I LOVE to work F! I take pride in myself on the type of service I provide to our F/C customers. That is not to say that I don't work just as hard in the main cabin on the few times a year that I work that position. I enjoy talking with the Y cabin passengers, finding out about their much anticipated vacations, playing with the babies, etc. I feel the F pax really just wants the service, wants to work and not really be bothered with small talk, which is fine. Of course, there is an exception to that also...some do like to talk.

Oh, the nice ones of us in F certainly do not mind a chat unless we have our noses buried in our laptop or documents. At times, I am more talkative than other.......

Here is a fun question - what is your worst experience with a passenger in F? Or in general? Throughout the years I have seen some horrible treatment of F/As, most of which being the "waitress in the sky" attitude made popular by the Replacements.

I find bringing chocolate on long hauls to not only bring nice smiles but enhanced service as well. I am sure it is a nice change for FAs to be thanked by more than a nice note in his/her personnel file.
