Wasn't [it] great when.....

No need to bring down all pilots just because he one of those guys that can only find a job flying freight for the rest of his career...

He’s just upset because he doesn’t work day in and day out with pretty little flight attendants to get excited by max power takeoffs.

Relegated to FBO counter girls to fondle that ego? Honeypot duty is sooo sexy!

You probably have pimples on your ass from flying Syphilis and Chlamydia around Ohio and Michigan in the dead of winter at 4am. I bet you leave that out when trying to pick up Russian or Ukrainians online. Oh well, not all of you can fly 767’s.

You sound like a total babe.

It is all about attitude.... the problem is... can 50+ FA's be easy going, bubbly, perky, positive, energetic, etc....

You're absolutly right, it IS all about attitude! I firmly believe 50+ F/As CAN be easy going, bubble, perky, positive, energetic, etc.

50-somethings can be all of the above
20-somethings can be all of the above


50-somethings can be irritable, cranky, and offensive
20-somethings can be irritable, cranky, and offensive

It's all about individual attitude. I think it's unfair to generalize that all persons age 50+ are unfit to be or retain their positions as F/As based exclusively on their age. I certainly will NOT say that all F/As over 50 are wonderful perfect examples of what F/As should be, but I can't say that all F/As in their 20s are perfect examples either. It's all about the individuals attitude.

I haven't reached 50 yet, or 40 either for that matter, but I hope when I do I will retain the attitude I have now. Who knows if I'll be recalled and back flying by then (goodness knows with the rate of AAs recalls I probably will be pushing 50 by the time I get a recall letter LOL). Or even if I'll still want to go back then!

I think what he was getting at was the F/A's were very unpleasant and if thats the case, they didnt even have any good physical attributes to compensate. Plus, they were cranky. Us men start with looks, if that fails, moves to personality, and if that fails then is she at least nice. If there's 3 strikes then smash away my friend. The age thing however should have nothing to do with it. I love cougers. Meowwwww.........

I am still waiting to see the FA that will take a 12/15man life raft and shove it out a gulfstream window...lol

I'd pay to see that!

everybody has a bad day from time to time. why do people have to attack ones age and looks when describing a bad attitude!? ok you had some fa's who were having a bad day and they took it out on you. no need to call them names and put down their ages.

pilots have bad days too!!! oh God do they! and im sure you have been unpleasant as well on one of your bad days.

I think its miraculous, and a testimony to aircrew dedication, that anyone (FA or pilot) can be consistently upbeat and provide great service in these tough times.

He must be one of those guys that wanted to be gently awakened from his nap with a fresh cup of coffee in a china mug, followed by a foot massage. What the H do people expect these days? They've voted with their wallets, and prefer saving 98 cents on their ticket price, vs. a realistic fare, which would allow decent FA manning, and food you don't have to pay for on the plane.
