Thread: United FA - 63 years of flying

Oh ye of little faith regarding the acuity of many airline passengers!! How many pax have you seen get up on the10K, when seat belt sign is on, head to the lav or go to the overhead bins. Have you never heard FA's repeat half the safety announcements when that happens? People don't pay attention. I just want EVERY FA to be PHYSICALLY able to handle an evacuation--particularly IF my husband has to be last one to deplane after all souls on board are OFF.
I did have an FA explain to me about the spring loaded exit doors on one flight--since then I always look at the safety card to check. Many of the regional aircraft I fly have toss-outs--or whatever you call them. I stand by my conviction that any crew member who cannot physically get back into a life raft from the water should not be flying.

Pago--we call that "crabbing" they have to go sideways thru the aisles. Then there's the square dance: one/two side steps, rotate 180, repeat zig zag down the aisle. So every few pax get the hiney shining.
