Most of the time, I'm not thinking about flight attendants at all. When I do, I respect them as members of a service profession, without any particular like or dislike attached.
See, most of my noticing of flight attendants has been when they are not being good members of a service profession. I respect good service, and, since I've worked in resturaunts, I think I can tell when there should be allowances for lapses in same, but generally I think good service is...invisible? Seamless? Neither is quite what I mean.
In a perfect world, I'll never see a flight attendant do anything other than a waiter impersonation.
I know they got other skills, but I just don't want to be around when they're needed.
However, since we get to be mean about doctors and lawyers and presidents, who the hell is a flight attendant to start getting huffy.

Just talked to MM - he says, "Every time a flight attendant fails to get my beer on time or crashes into my legs with that cart - she is disrespecting those passengers that died on 9/11."
Sick man. I love him so.
I don't think I can stress enough how awesome this clip is.
Laughed aloud, and at length. That one's getting linked to everyone I know.
The world is waiting for the ita movie. I say that with all seriousness.
Well, apart from "Serenity" because I think of you when I see Zoe.
But plenty of cool stories don't get told every day.
Hey, erika, did you see the link I left for you in Natter this morning? If not, search on "Omar".
Natter is more active than Hamsterdam today, so have not.
