The trips went well.
On the way to JFK, it got pretty bumpy.
I need to learn when to sit down or not, it’s hard to tell. I was on the E190, so there are only 2 flight
attendants. My #1 was nice, but she
didn’t want to talk or hang out much. Which
was ok with me because I started reading Divergent and I’m hooked. I wanted to tell passengers, “yeah yeah, get
it yourself, I’m reading”.
All the trips today were really short (45 mins or so), which
makes serving drinks/snacks really difficult… gotta rush.
When we were delayed coming out of Boston to Newark, my #1
and First Officer got into a tiff. . The F/O wanted to give customers (who were stuck
on the plane) whatever they wanted, without regard to our In-Flight rules.
Customer asks the F1 “Can I plug my phone in somewhere?”
F1: No I’m sorry
FO: (butts in) Oh
yeah, she can plug your phone in right there.
(We’re not allowed to plug customer phones in on the plane because they
can be damaged)
Customer 2: Can I get
some coffee?
F1: No, I’m sorry,
but I can give you water.
FO: (butts in) Of
course she can give you coffee. Give
them whatever they need (directed to the F1).
(this is bad because if one customer gets coffee, everyone wants coffee
and we have to collect all of it before we take off so it can delay our take
off even more).
After this situation, the FO goes into the cockpit and
proceeds to complain about the F1. We
can hear the pilots through the cockpit door.
The rest of the trip the F1 was so upset about the whole
situation and after our trip the FO says “wow, was that F1 just as bad in the
back? It must’ve been terrible working
with her”.
Eek, I stayed quiet.
I thought they were both nice ladies, it was just a funky
situation. The FO wanted to make sure we
were giving great customer service, but the F1 was trying to follow the
rules. Was pretty awkward though.
