London’s Garbage Will Soon Fuel Some British Airways Flights

[Ali G. 37]

I don't have a need for my drink and food dispenser to look pretty, I do have a need for the flight crew to be able to make excellent decisions that impact my safety in stressful situations. Experience over looks every time.

Having flown on a range of airlines, including: Emirates, Qantas, BA, AA, Virgin, Cathay Pacific, Singapore, Malaysian, Olympic, Delta, Lufthansa, Eithad, and China Airlines; the age of the air steward makes a huge difference. First off, like any unionized industry, the union protects bad service. Older air stewards just don't seem to be as attentive or excited as the younger crew. Clearly it's just a 9-5 job for them. I don't want someone with a frown on their face to serve me, I want to enjoy my traveling experience.

Having picked up a beautiful French chick during my single lad traveling days, also did not hurt. Just saying..

So what? I don't need my drinks and food served by a giggling girl, I just require efficiency. I also require a reliable and well trained crew who will react efficiently and appropriately should there be an in-flight emergency.

Quite frankly, your sexual exploits are of zero interest to me, and I suspect the vast majority of those reading this thread.

So old airline steward staff are clapped out, bitter and indifferent about their jobs. Good to know

Only BY could come up with a gem like that.

[Peikko 1,575]

I'm wondering why someone serving BY might be frowning - I suspect age plays little to no part in that

I didn't say 'all', i didn't say that 'airline workers' are all too dumb for me to talk to, but what I said was that SOME were garbage....which is true based on my extensive experience with the airline. Every time I've flown BA, I've been wickedly unhappy w the service. Yes, some of their workers....most of the ones I have come into contact with....are sh!t at their jobs....and make it a horrible experience to fly with.

But you keep grinding that ax It's funny.

Oh it's not quite nearly as funny as you getting worked up over my banter with Sofiya regarding politics.

It couldn't be his kind, pleasant, friendly demeanor, could it?

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

I bet he spends the entire flight hammering on how in Australia everything is better - ranging from the size of the drinks, the quality of the food and the tightness of the women's vaginas

I'm friendly to everyone else, I just don't like you guys.

I'm hurt.

[Ali G. 37]

I'm hurt.

You obviously are, hence the obsession.

You know it. Quantas expects!

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

You know it! Qantas is basically Air Hooters.

Supposedly they offer a topless service in business class, and for anyone lucky enough to be in First, there is table dancing and oral sex.

Obsession with what? You? Don't flatter yourself pretty boy.

The best flight experience I had was using airlines like Emirates, Singapore, Malaysian, Eithad and Virgin, who use a younger crew. Worst: BA, Qantas, AA and Delta, all of them using the so-called 'experienced' crew.
