Betsy Dwyer - Wednesday, July 30, 2008

Today's aviation is not easy. It was a lot easier 15 years ago when I started. Aviation companies are busy trying to keep their companies open, fuel prices are off the charts, people are cutting the budget, downsizing to the bare bone. I do not mean to sound like that gruff old guy Andy Rooney on 20/20, but people were a lot nicer then. The people in charge called you back, were cordial and tried to help you. You knew their kids names and they knew yours. If you really broke, they got you on a flight to pay your car insurance.

 

 Is this or is it not the HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY, are we in customer service or customer stuckupness. Why do we now feel that when we call the head flight attendant, or director of cabin service, its like they just woke up in a bad mood and make you feel like you are a total bother, thorn in the side, fly in the ointment and just should just go throw your unimportant self off a cliff? WHO DO THEY WORK FOR?

Please go away and never call me again. I called someone in charge in February and I am still waiting. I have a flare gun, should I head it towards Teterboro?
