Airborne Flight Attendant Bitch Session!
On a rooster early flight to Reno last weekend I was ushered to the rear of the plane for weight and balance concerns on a low occupancy flight. For the entirety of the fight I was forced to listen to the flight attendants bitch about their duties, procedures, union regulations, lack of off time, deadheading, their personal lives, on and on. SHUT UP ALREADY!!! I thought I was in a 'Will and Grace' episode. I'm five feet away, tired, and have my own issues. I'm shocked that SWA hasn't instituted some kind of noise discipline policy. Perhaps the FA's could learn from the pilots: a sterile cockpit below 10,000 feet unless it is related to the operation and safety of the fight. This is not the first time. In fact overhearing the FA's non-flight-related chatter seems to happen on every flight I take on SWA. Silencio please!
