US airways gets bad press -attendant wouldn't hang vet's decorated jacket in 1st class closet

[MADem]

134. Not when the request is x120 coach passengers and there's only room in the "closet" for a few

coats way up in the front of first class. AND when there's not enough time to do the myriad of things that FAs have to do to prepare the cabin for launch.

It's "only" one thing...until it's another, and another, and another.

And I don't care if he's a faker, a vet, or a soon-to-be retiree. Going to a job interview in your uniform is just not a smart move, one that someone with ANY experience or sagacity should know better than to do. Unless, of course, you're auditioning for a job as a prison guard or a Junior ROTC (High School) instructor. And that is, per his 'mom,' where he was headed--to a job interview because he wants to get "into medicine."

He wasn't on official government business or travel orders.

I stand with the flight attendants--they take more shit for less pay than almost any other group. They don't get paid while they're waiting to sign in, even though they're required to be present ahead of the time. They get paid literally pennies if a plane is delayed. They don't earn even any paltry wages of any substance until the plane has pushed back from the gate.

Their "perk" is that they get to stay in the worst rooms of the best hotels if they're in an away-from-base city overnight. Don't forget to do a bedbug check, kids!
