Inappropriate Flight Attendant

[SkyBoy1981]

It amazes me how some liberals will try to justify anything. What this F/A done was wrong...it only takes common sense to figure that one out.

 

[The_Russian]

Geez I hate liberals. You are all ignorant. And most of you are as good as traitors. Go live in another country if you don't like being the peacekeeper of the world. IMO it is the highest honor a country could have.

That FA should be fired AND deported.

Please notify the director of inflight.

I know that I will get flamed for this but I do hope everyone sees both sides of the issue. On one side we have the Captain address the soldiers and thanking them for their service on behalf of himself and the first officer. One could argue that by doing this he is representing the company. On the other side we have a flight attendent who says that she opposes the war and expresses this to the soldier. My question is where is this different from the Captain who applaudes the soldiers.

Each person has expressed their feelings to the soldiers. Because the flight attendants views are not popular everyone wants to report her. I say that if you report her, report the Captain as well. This is the only thing to do that is fair and just. It is my opinion that the flight attendant and the Captain are both wrong for expressing their feelings about the war. I realize the woman was a little overzealous in her views but I think she has a right to say what she said. It doesn't sound like she was disrespectful and calling them names, she just didn't believe in the war.

The one thing she should learn from this is that it is not the soldiers job to agree or disagree with the war. The soldiers job is to fight for our country and the rights of its citizens. Many man and woman have died to give the flight attendent the right to free speech. The difficult part is that she is announcing her beliefs while representing the company. Don't forget that the Captain and other flight attendant did the same thing. Either report them all or none.

Moron.

I would let it slide. It was totally inappropriate, but remember, you are a non-rev. She will tell a completely different story and tell everyone within earshot that some pilot's wife told a bunch of lies about her and tried to get her fired. I have a feeling you might regret making a big deal about it at that point.

She does have a First Ammendment right to express her opinion, in uniform or not. I would doubt the company would do anything to her for fear of litigation. I think for that reason, you should just forget about it.

 

[mattpilot]

Since you mentioned the first amendment...

You are only protected from Gov't action by the First. There is no free speech outside of that. If you bad mouth your boss or do something else thats stupid, while representing a private company, you can get fired for that. NO first amendment protection.

 

[Metro752]

Yep, I say they sh1t can her. All you have to do is remember which soldiers were on the plane, and they'll back ya up.

Stupid woman doesn't understand how bad she was. She probably did the same thing during Vietnam.

I say get her for her stupidity.

Oh boy! I would have had FUN on this flight!

No SH!T, man. Uncle Sam usually has me fly for TDYs in civvies, so I would have felt MORE THAN WELCOME expressing my opinion of that flight attendant. It wouldn't have taken more than a simple sarcastic remark, but it would have been well worth it.

I don't care what your hippie liberal kiddie beliefs are about the "unjust war" and how we're not doing any good over there (a lie). Shut your f*cking yap about your opinions out of simple f*cking RESPECT around the men/women who offered their lives so left-wing idiots have the freedom to whine and complain about us handling a conflict like men. I have seriously started to have a sneaky suspicion that the whole "no war no matter what" movement is just an expression of the liberal "inner pusssy" -- people lacking the moral fiber to stand up for what they believe with something more than a word or a pen.

HEY METRO,

I guess I'm one of those hippie liberals who agrees with her opinion.

That being said, she should probably be disciplined or fired for expressing her views in the way she did. Professionalism requires one refrain from these sorts of diatribes during the performance of one's job. Then again, it's only a profession if the community makes it one.

Furry220, are you demonstrating your "fighter pilot" birth control techniques here? You seem to have your titt!es in quite the twister!

Military service

I know that I will get flamed for this but I do hope everyone sees both sides of the issue. On one side we have the Captain address the soldiers and thanking them for their service on behalf of himself and the first officer. One could argue that by doing this he is representing the company. On the other side we have a flight attendent who says that she opposes the war and expresses this to the soldier.

There are not two sides of this issue at all and you are missing the point entirely. In war and in peacetime, the military always serves us and deserves our gratitude. Therefore, it is never wrong to thank our military for serving us.

Once more, the point is the FA has a right to her opinions. In uniform, on duty and representing her company, she should have kept her opinions to herself.

The soldiers are in the SERVICE or their country.
Personal idealism does not enter any argument here. She was wrong and was abusing her position. At the very least she should be fired.

I don't care if it was an NG unit that did nothing more than push pencils at the airport, surrounded by the Third Infantry Division and facing nothing more dangerous than a paper cut. The bottom line is ... they SERVED. They stepped up ... PERIOD! Minh

I may have taken this quote incorrectly - if so then disregard.

There are NG and Reserve troops fighting and dying in Iraq and Afghanistan right along side the active duty personnel. Just because a unit is NG or reserve doesn’t mean they function in a non-threatened support role “surrounded by the Third Infantry Division”.

Just wanted to set the record straight in case you had gotten that impression.

I totally agree. Bud even has a commercial thanking soldiers. But to slam them, while they are in their seats, trapped, is not only unprofessional, but threatening. On the ground, standing around, they could have walked away, but sitting on the plane, trying to get home, they could not do that.
She should be fired.
