    I get that. Her attitude sucked. I still say she doesnt deserve to be fired. Did you see what the witch on fox said?

    Granted but she does NOT have to bend the rules. Die came from the evil (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) on fox.

    No I didn't. The only information I have regarding this story is from the article in the OP.

    As a customer service representative you cannot lash out at the customer even if doing so is completely warranted. Doing so is indeed grounds for termination. This goes for all customer service reps from people selling refrigerators at Lowe's to servers in restaurants to phone reps to flight attendants.

    You will likely be terminated for speaking to a customer in a manner in which they feel offended. I am not personally calling for her to be fired but if she were to be terminated then it wouldn't be an unjust decision. Almost all other customer service reps would receive the same punishment in their particular field.

    Well, who said she should bend the rules? We're talking about her rude, unprofessional, snotty way of dealing w/a passenger....

    Who's the 'evil (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)' on Fox? I missed that..... no, she shouldn't have to 'die' - just learn self-control while she's on the job while she still has one.....

    Mine too, I love it for that. No pickle suits for us anymore though we have 2 piece ACU colored suits that look just like normal ACU's only really baggy and light weight. I love the extra breathing room I never wear normal ACU's anymore. I seriously don't even know where they are I think they are in a box in the attic somewhere.

    Blues are different from the service dress...I'm wearing blues (short sleeves without tie) in this photo...ribbons are optional also, but if you wear them you have to wear them all.
    [​IMG] and as I say I never wore those while traveling in an unofficial capacity; but you are allowed to. The Sergeant was wearing his Class A replete with ribbons and it's understandable he'd want the jacket hung up properly in a closet. The flight attendant could have accommodated him if there was room. She pulled the old, "that's for rich people" routine.

    Some (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) on fox said she should clean toilets, get ebola doing so and die. Over this! Really?

    She was asked to bend the rules. That is what started this whole mess.

    Ok. Whats a pickle suit?

    Olive drab...solid color, making the wearer resemble a pickle.

    The flight suit that you think about in your head whenever you think about flight suits. All other branches wear the normal flight suit. The Army just HAS to be different.

    NO WHERE in that article does it say the soldier asked her to 'bend the rules' for him. You're just making up (*)(*)(*)(*) again.....

    He simply asked her if she would hang up his jacket, she gave him a snotty, rude refusal, which the other passengers also saw and heard and the soldier went back to his seat, refusing offers from 1st class passengers to take their seat..........

    The 'mess' happened b/c of her ugliness to him - not what he had done. If a passenger can't ask this flight attendant a simple question w/o her showing rudeness & anger, then she has no business working w/the public.........

    If it's true what the 'evil (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)' from Fox was supposed to have said, she was way out of line.....

    I had a brother who was a pilot in the USAF. After he died, I was given an 8 X 10 pix of him in his flight suit, climbing into his jet.... beautiful pix, beautiful man..... he was one of the best. Both of my brothers were. The other was a AF flight instructor.....

    A Flight Suit is NOT something I would want to be wearing on a commercial jetliner.

    She should have accomidated him.

    INNM. That was bending the rules. Where do you think she was supposed to hang it?

    She could have EASILY placed it in the storage area where Pilots and Flight Attendents place their things.

    She could have accomidated him.

    Now this is reeeeeaally difficult.... she wouldn't hang it anywhere! She would nicely explain to him that the closet was reserved for 1st class w/an apology and give it back to him..... wow! Is that difficult or what?

    Nah, she should also have pressed it while singing Hail to the Chief. That's what a real patriot would do.

    I hate to pee in your cheerios, but conservatives attack the military or members of the military just like anyone else. Shall we talk about the disrespect conservatives give to Sgt. Bengdahl? How about Bendgahl's father? Or Gen Pisterius? Or any other solder that does not fall in line with the Tea Party ideology? You will disrespect the Constitution because you don't want people to express their freedom of religion or speech for the simple fact that you do not agree with it.

    And yet none of that proves that the flight attendant is a a liberal. Only an idiot would believe such nonsense and make judgmental personal attacks for no reason.

    Flying a Huey Gunship does not disprove my facts Billy. And no, Allen West was not in combat or in actual combat. The whole incident had to do with interrogation that was forbidden by the Chain of Command.

    Additionally, rules of engagement are different from war to war, military engagement to military engagement.

    Thank you for labeling the Tea party both the pot and kettle. You move ahead of the class.

    You have been reading too many lefty blogs. The "witch" you refer to(is there a war on women going on here?) is Jeanine Pirro and this is what she said:

    "Ma'am, I don't know what your name is and I hope I never find out, because not only do you have no class, you have no honor. And you know what? As U.S. Air investigates the role of this flight attendant, I have an idea. I’ll be kind. She shouldn't lose her job. She should not lose her job.

    She should stay in the employ of US Air, in maintenance, cleaning toilets on all flights coming in from West Africa. Someone's gotta do it."

    NOWHERE did she ever say that she should DIE. Stop reading the lefty websites. There is a thread about Western media being pathological liars. They're talking about liberal news.

    Oh yeah, attacking a deserter and traitor is bad, letting 5 of the world's most murderers is good in the mind of a liberal

    Why the delay in bringing this out? What is there to hide about Bergdahl? I will take the words of his fellow soldiers, the one's that were there, and lost lives looking for that piece of (*)(*)(*)(*)
