Luxury at 30,000 feet

A lot of foreign flight attendants aren't allowed to be married or even have kids, and could lose their jobs for it. You just really can't compare the two types

I'm not talking about only the cabin attendants (which a LOT of them at the rated 10 best airlines in the world are married) it is the entire organization, from the costumer service agents, mechanics, even the people that clean and service the airplane, its been a very long time since any employee in the us airline industry feels any pride about what they do.

I got to ride in First on IB A340 from ORD to MAD. There was no comparison to the food and service in business and first on AA. IB was a glorified coach service on domestic short haul plus a marginal meal.

On AA (and the other domestics, I assume) I get fat and hammered by 30W. Most here know I'm no AA suck up either.

YMMV.

I think our own NRT operation is the best one we have. Those people work very hard and are honored to do their jobs. Could it be a cultural thing? I don't know.

There's a really good place here in ATL now called "Rita's", with really good frozen desserts. You've got to try it when you get back to ATL.

Is it Rita's Italian Ice?

I grew up where they started, if that's the place, yes it's great! Root beer or mango gelati, please.

The majority of people at the airline I work for have a LOT of pride in what we do.

I guess you missed the whole point of this thread, we are discussing full service airlines with international service and how they are compared with the top service airlines around the world, as much pride as you might feel, SWA is not really known for their first class international service.

So no employee at any US Legacy feels any pride in what they do? Gotcha...

Could be the different contract they have....
