I don't think you could pay me enough to be a flight attendant. I fly quite often for my job, and each trip offers a new observation of just how big of db's most people become when flying. Common courtesy doesn't exist. It's all about me, me, me.
From my perspective, it's pretty easy. a) You're on the airlines schedule, not your own. Show up early, wait patiently and make your schedule such that you've got cushion if late. b) Don't be a doucher. Be polite to those around you. Give your tram seat to someone who needs it. Don't ignore the instructions by the staff and then get mad because you get in trouble. Don't bring too big of a carry-on and then have a hissie because it doesn't fit above the seat. c) If you can't act with a little courtesy and patience, stay home.

Nothing like watching these pristine model-types trying to lift a huge bag into the overhead bin. Somebody inevitably has to help them stow the bag in the bin, and I've seen a couple of them decline help and get smacked hard by the bag trying to get the bag out of the bin because they aren't strong enough to control the bag. If you are able-bodied and you can't lift your bag into the overhead bin, your bag should probably be checked...

"Don't worry Boss...they can't do nothin' 'til they're through sparklin'..."
That passenger should be the one getting arrested. What an a-hole. When you fly you follow the instructions of the flight crew. Period. End of discussion.
Isn't it a federal offense to disobey the flight crew? I think compliance of passengers is required by federal law. That guy who stood up should be arrested too.

I don’t care where you come from, whether it’s Texas, Florida, California, or right here in the state of Iowa, I don’t care about any of that… But what I did care about is moving forward from that day on, that we were one team." -Paul Rhoads
