So I'm on reserve in EWR...

[sleddriver77]

There is this male continental express FA that is wearing so dammmm much cheap stinking aftershave that I had to move upwind so I could even smell my cigarette-the coffee didn't have a chance...I couldn't imagine being in the crew van or the airplane, jeeze!

Something for your company's next contract? No MALE FA's!!

Lately I've been bidding the following:

SET MAX SKED
AVOID FA IF = Pole Smoker.
AWARD FA IF Cup Size >= C.
PREFER= Blondes
AWARD FA IF AGE <= 26.
AVOID = Redheads.
AWARD TRIPS

(Nice wish, Eh?)

Well, it is an imperfect world, isn't it!

Er, well, I've been really lucky. Except for being furloughed from a place that had FA's (before I got on line-and Pace had some good ones from what I saw) I've never had to deal with them as a part of the crew. Now I'm back to freight. I don't much care what color the hair is-I like quantity (er, yes ladies, I do know how to braid it into reins). I do agree with your cup size preferance!

I dunno... I'd concede on the redheads.

 

[ArcticFlier]

What's wrong with red heads? I like red heads............

The rest of your bid list is good to go.



AF

(come on guys, go to interior decorating or chef's school and give the gals the cabins back!)

After you've been holding a line a while, you'll see that the guys, gay or not, usually do a better job than the ladies. As you are well aware, some women can be real biatches. I'll take a gay FA over a biatch any day. You'll agree some day.

this

AWARD FA IF Cup Size >= C.

without something like

AVOID FA if weight >=

is basicaly asking for fatties.

Keep me WARM in the winter, give me SHADE in the summer!!

Besides, there are three things I'm required to say as an FO. "Clear Right, You're Right, and I'll take the fat one."

Funny!!! You go girl!!!


If you're in the bidness, then you know I'm right.

Well, I'd say you're partially correct. We have some pretty serious drama queens, both male and female, 'round these parts. The OLDER male FA's tend to be a lot better to work with, and the women are hit-or-miss regardless of age. But, the young, "flamin'-gay" guys are almost always a pain in the ass. (Pun intended.)

Thanks to a few of them, I've heard stuff about that lifestyle I just don't need to know about. Had one break down crying (to rival my two-year old throwing a tantrum) in the middle of a busy terminal when he got a call that his 90-yr old grandma died. (Aww, ya' didn't see that coming, princess? She was friggin' 90!) Had a few start problems with pax, too. Of course, some of our early-20's Trailer Park Queens aren't a whole lot better in that regard.

Until the companies start paying FA's more, and stop putting the recruiting posters up in gay bars, trailer parks, and nursing homes; things will not improve.
