Song Airlines voted best of 2004....

[General Lee]

In its Best of 2004 Awards, Travel Savvy magazine named Song the best low-cost airline for 2004 in its September/October edition. “An upbeat staff, boldly colored jets and tasty meal options have already attracted a loyal contingent of customers,” the magazine said. “In April, all 36 of its aircraft were outfitted with a state-of-the-art in-flight entertainment system.”



I don't know about you, but I think we should now GET RID OF SONG. Sure, why not? Yeah, it was voted best LCC by some obscure Travel mag, but we shouldn't listen to the experts........(TIC)

Recall when Air, Inc had the (New) National based in Las Vegas on it's cover? They stated that is was a great airline that was going places. Three weeks latter it when to the Ch 7 pat of the court hearings. I have to agree with the Gen,( if he agrees with me)that Song is a great idea, but it a little off of what Delta should be.

I just can't get past the "Flying Green Sperm" paint job. Who came up with that?

 

[General Lee]

I really like flying Song flights because the stews are nice, young, and don't have tree trunks for legs. The green paint job is kinda weird, bit it grows on you.....just like my.....

The sam Fu$King idiots that came up with the name, that's who..... and they got paid about 2 million dollars to do it.

I've been reading alot of posts lately and I really think that Delta is the company that has "on the job training" for all the big MBA schools. Kind of a trial period.... Here you go guys, here is a company for ya... .lets see you put all that shi% we taught you to use. Good Luck.

And hence the demise of Mother D. I think Gilligan could be running this ship better. oopppss sorry I digress..... white sperm on a green airplane.... what a novel idea.... people will love it.....

Freaggin idots...........................

That's funny.

It was late last night when I wrote that. That time of the night sometimes produces some of my best work....

I really like the stews 'outfits'... something out of the 60's ..... I saw em down in West Palm... I kinda chuckled too loud... The bats gave me a dirty look... It certainly makes a statement... New and fresh.... Just what Big D needs...

You guys are kinda hard on those J Blue flights, is there enough for everyone? Or ,are you folks putting the hurt on em ?

Lime green? C'mon... really....

I've flown Song a bunch of times - all great flights. The Stews are young and seem genuinely enthusiastic, the entertainment system is better than JetBlue's, and the sandwiches are actually pretty good. And you get all of this for a cheap fare - I hope Delta doesn't change too much of Song in the future...

General, The phenomena of which you speak of has a name (from the movie "Shallow Hal"), they're "cankles" - when there's no taper from the calf to the foot it's a cankle.

Now that's funny - LOL!!!!!!! The sad thing is that you find cankles on most of the mainline DAL and USAirways FAs nowadays (regardless of what Dave Griffen says....). It's true - I dare you to look next time you board a flight - try not to hurl too hard.... Doubt you find many cankles at SWA, JetBlue or AirTran (beyond the ex-Eastern stews)....

 

[SWAInflt]

.... Doubt you find many cankles at SWA....(beyond the ex-Eastern stews)....

You'd be surprised, there are close to 8,000 of us here at SWA...and more than a few take up more than their fair share of the jumpseat. The ironic thing is that the "Originals" or "Day One" Flight Attendants are what we lesser Flight Attendants aspire to. They are the most energetic, Customer-focused folks you will ever meet. They make the rest of us look good and they're all well into their 50s. We have good Flight Attendants at every level of seniorty but at SWA being considered a "Senior Mama" is high praise indeed "cankles" or not.

Also funny the correlation between how many people are laughing and the number of pilots married to those stews.

 

[General Lee]

That is why the pilots pick up extra trips---to get away from the cankles...."That's funny, they weren't fat when I married them---of course that was before the lawsuit for fat discrimination---when the ones that were fired came back to work 40 lbs heavier...." I have heard that statement from MANY Captains.....I personally think they should be HEALTHY.

[chperplt]

I personally think they should be HEALTHY.

It goes beyond just being healthy. They should be able to do their job. How many of them would be able to evacuate an airplane should the need arise? How many of them would be able to get out of an overwing exit, or even open the door should they have to?

The problem isn't limited to mainline. A good number of the FAs at Comair are in the same condition. At least the mainline FAs have a bigger door/window to fit through.

 

[General Lee]

The problem is that these gals eat way too much free First Class food. That is one perk they never talk about---free meals. And, do you think they EVER offer us any left overs? Hardly ever. I recently flew with a bunch of NYC based stews and one LA based stew was mixed in. After the flight ended the LA stew came up to me and said sorry for not being ABLE to give us any food. I asked her what she meant, and she said she was going to call up front and offer some, but the A-line or head stew (from NYC) told her NOT to offer us any and to dump the rest of it. I looked over to the A line and she was glaring at me like I was her little son and she was the Mom---grounding me for being bad. I guess she could have been my mom---she was in her late 60's. I was very nice to these stews before the flight, and even offered them a free Starbucks. I won't be doing that again, unless they are HOT. (FAT CHANCE-----LITERALLY)

No, no, no, that's "Sammy the Singing Sperm"... Wear it with pride...

Does Sammy the Singing Sperm Sing the Thong Song? (Say that ten times fast)
