OK...I know that not everyone that becomes a flight attendant is a gifted speaker. That’s why the pre-flight and in-flight instructions are scripted by somebody up the chain at corporate. Indeed, flight attendants that don’t need a script usually find their way to Southwest.
During the recent mash-up between Northwest and Delta, the script has changed subtly (though it might just be the Delta script of old, as I rarely flew them). My favorites (with my response, under my breath, every time):
“Working together, we’ll be able to achieve an on-time departure.” Oh, puleeze. Don’t try to drag us into your job. And, have you ever seen a larger group of self-absorbed assholes than people boarding a plane? Like we’re going to work as a group? Yeah...good luck with that.
And,
“In preparation for landing, it is now time to power down all approved electronic devices.”
So...what? I can leave my
unapproved electronic devices on?
And then, I shake my head again.
