| - I never truly understand how terrible their customer service is, until I fly with another airline.
I travel often (6+ times a year) with my 2 kids who have been flying since they were literally days old. They know the drill (going through security, seatbelt, put things under seat, turn ipods/movies off, tray tables, etc).
I don't know how many times I've gotten on a plane and attendants start hounding and keep giving us "special attention"... Example, we are JUST getting to our seats, and they put their backpacks or something on the seat while they get seated and organized, etc and a flight attendant is barking at me "MA'AM! BAGS HAVE TO GO UNDERNEATH THE SEAT!!!" or a couple of times when the tray table is messed up and goes down at the slightest touch: "MA'AM! TRAY TABLE HAS TO STAY UP DURING TAKE OFF AND LANDING!!!" God help me if I ask for an extra sugar for my coffee.
I understand flight attendant jobs are to keep everyone safe, but do you have to be so rude about it? I also understand the Airline Industry is jacked up (especially these low cost carriers) and over-working their employees, lousy pay for what they have to do, etc. Still, if you don't like your job, go find something else to do.
Living in the Phoenix area, well, they are convenient with their destinations and prices, but whenever I fly another airline I really notice it. Hence, my motivation to work harder so I can make more money, so than when we do travel, we can do it more comfortably.
