It's unfortunate that call button requests are so frequently ignored by so many FA's. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

i use it frequently on dfw-lga or jfk or bos when i get upgraded, usually for wine refill when i'm at the back of the order taking. the first to be served get 3 or 4 passes w/ wine, bread , etc . the last to be served may get 2, but often the gally chats begin after 1. don't use it in coach.

On BA: "Hi, I am Scott, your Cabin Service Director on your flight to Amsterdam today If there is anything I, or indeed any of my crew can do to make your flight more pleasant, please do not hesitate to ask, or use the call button above your head"

(I have heard it so many times I know the exact words),

do I use the button? no.... I guess frequent flyers consider the button of limits..

Scott!! I do not think that you heard any CSD or Purser at British Airways announce "HI, I'm Scott"

You may have heard them say "Ladies and Gentlemen, my name is Scott....."


Back to the Training School for you!!!!

The last time I used it was the first time I was on a particular class of plane (A320, I think) and I couldn't figure out why the light didn't turn on when I hit the button.

FA points out that I've been "ringin' my chimes." Duuh. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/redface.gif

I can judge the quality of service and the upgrade, if I don't have to use my Call Button. It gets an A.

WRT incessant pressing of the button and all,
has anybody considered the idea that the airlines and aircraft manufacturers might be
to blame in part, at least when it comes to
button abuse by VIFFs?

Look at the icon on the button. It's an androgynous stick figure holding a tray with drinks on it.
