Yeah cause you will end up with an F/A like me that will look at you with a deer in the headlights stare! I don't know Jack about beer... Wine and Liquor you betcha but beer haven't a clue!

I can't wait to say: We don't have any Funkin Mixers! What Funkin mixer do you want? You want a Funkin mixer and what else?

I start my first Frontier trip today. I have never worked it. I only worked MidWest once (very bad experience). SFO/LGB/OMA I have only seen Cali once and that was transiting LAX so I am excited!

Enjoy the flights cwe84! Hopefully they're uneventful.

Just out of curiosity, what happened on the Midwest flight?

I am sure that you are correct, but....

I know that there are other flyers like myself. I will not drink Budmillcoors. If there is a beer offered that I have never heard of then that is what I am ordering. I don't care if cwe84 can tell me about it or not. And yes, tvnwz, I am a beer snob.

I got Leinenkugel on Frontier a while back, they said it was something they had after the merger. Actually I think it (they - had 2) were my last free drinks before I lost Summit status due to change of jobs... certainly a better send off then Coors!

Today wasn't bad. We dead headed from DCA-DEN and then we worked DEN-SFO. Almost all the people were very nice. It is going to take me some time to get used to the service.

As for the MidWest trip it was the Feb after we started the flying. My Supervisor asked me to work the trip so I could form an opinion and offer up my experiences. I recieved a total of 16 negative comment cards for the one trip. I haven't even gotten 16 comments or letters in all my airline career. I didn't know we were supposed to say "May I offer you something to drink or purchase" I always said "can I get you something". I am from the south so thats just the way it comes out. I believe there were 7 of those. Another was that we didn't have meals. I told the captain and he called in range to notify the ground that we were out and that would give them time to get something... My fault they weren't loaded and he said I had a bad attitude because I asked if the gate had informed him... Another was because I served a man a wrap that was frozen. It was -5 and I wasn't going to stick my finger in it to find out. A gate agent wrote me up for losing the UM. We actually never had a UM... A ramp agent wrote that I delayed the flight because I wouldn't make space for the bags. The bags we checked were in the 40" range... Also with 76 passengers someone will have to check something and the flight departed ontime... Bitter taste it left.

Tomorrow will hopefully be better. I think I am just grumpy!
