The B1 is a cool jet however it is the bastard child of bombers…. Simply put the US has never had a need for it by the time Rockwell fixed the problems with it.

Course Carter killing the B1 and Reagan restarting it did not help. IMO and hindsight killing the B1 was probably the best move.

Heh, you should have kicked him off at altitude. – F15Mech

Eagle Fixer, my Air Force brother, I wish I could have, but I was a gate agent back then. Hey, this dude I worked with last week used to be a Lancer Fixer, a B1Mech. Pretty cool, eh?

arrgh! these are the type of little girls who give women a bad name. i have NEVER had a bad experience on SWA. the FAs have always been friendly and eager to help, unlike other airlines AA or AW or NWA. floozies is a term that comes to mind

Is that Southwest spokesperson supposed to be, like, a counter bimbo?

Oh, please, these skanks were not “too pretty” to fly. They’re not cute enough to merit a second look on the street. Or a first look. They’re wallowing in white trash delusion when they claim they were too hot to take off. They may be the hottest chicks in the local biker bar but not in the airport.

My gut feeling is that they thought they could take their trash act to the sky and were surprised to find they wouldn’t be tolerated. Now they’re on their best behavior for the cameras and playing the victim. Heck, I wish I owned a jet so I could throw them off it. At altitude.

My favorite flight attendant joke:

A man was being a royal PITA all the way from Atlanta to New York. The FA was sweet and nice but to no avail: get me this, get me that, this seat sucks, you people are terrible. Finally he shouted, “I’m going to report you to customer service and I AM GOING TO HAVE YOUR JOB!”

The stewardess gave him her nicest smile and replied sweetly, “Oh, you’ll love it, sir, in this line of work. You meet the nicest people.”

As a young Spc.4 in ‘71 on my way home, I never had a
problem getting drinks (that I can recall). And I wasn’t
no Paul Newman either. Maybe it was the uniform. Maybe it
was because I wasn’t using profanity at the other passengers
and crew. Rspect given to crew (or any working
person) seems to be lacking in these young ladies(?).
Demanding persons should not be allowed on any airline.

Looks like a couple of spoiled, nasty, irresponsible , twits trying to get some attention. Obviously watch too much jack ass or what ever the latest anti-authoritarian show on t.v. is.

Best SWA experience ever: Back in either 99 / 2000, myself, fiance and 2 other couples were flying SWA from BWI to Manchester, NH. The stew’s (yes, I said stew’s) were funny
and pleasant as all get out. They knew we were a party crew,
(But very well behaved) and would come to us asking if we needed another round. About 20 minutes out from landing, I half-jokingly asked if we could get one last round, she asked us how fast we could down them!! We assured her it would be quick…she served us right away, and with a smile!
What a doll!!

Southwest Airlines vs. Pretty Bimbos…

There’s been a lot of talk about this story: two girls kicked off a Southwest Airlines flight. Southwest says they were being disruptive, and the girls say that they were……

After seeing this story I am reminded of the only good thing Bill Maher ever did; he had this “get over yourself award” that he used to do on his old show. I can’t think of anyone more qualified than these two ghastly American women…

I liked how the camera slowly scanned up her ugly-ass body while she was yammering on about how pretty she is.

This is a message to the one who has one breast looking high off to the right and the other looking downward to the left. In the words of the late, great John Candy, “Take this quarter; go downtown and have a rat gnaw that thing off your face”.

Doufree, not anymore, it used to be that wsy, but now, post-9/11, we straight guys are taking over! Although, I wouldn’t be upset if we still only hired pretty girls in hotpants and gogo boots. I was just as happy as an
Ops Agent. But the business fliers would like it better if we went back to the old days.

Is the unspoken “truth” here that flight attendants, especially male flight attendants, don’t like girls?

There used to be a F/A named Tony who had a really good blog full of stories about passengers

Oh, that’s too bad he had to get rid of it, sounds like fun. All of my best stories come from 7 years a an Operations Agent or ‘boarding agent’, I could’ve written a book. But now that I’m a F/A, it’s pretty uneventful. All the good stuff happens in the terminal. Just watch “Airline” on A&E! It’s crazy!

Oh. There used to be a F/A named Tony who had a really good blog full of stories about passengers, etc. Then his employer found out and he had to take it down.
