Some flight attendents can be b*tches or in the case of male attendents, b*tchy. When a customer complains about something, they should be accomodated immediately.

Anyone that uses commercial airlines can be sympathetic to the frustraton of the lady that was ejected from the plane.

Not during takeoff procedures. Safety overrules everything at that point. Anyway, one of the customers on 9/11 cut an FA's throat.

(a) I think Osteen is OK, he's on right after Fox with Chris Wallace on Sundays, so I tend to catch him at the program change.

(b) His wife is human, may have overreacted, and may just have gone through a stressful "TSA experience".

(c) The stewardess may also have been overreacting, I've experienced them being unreasonably rude and nearly-sadistic in their treatment of passengers.

Since none of us were there, we can reasonably cut all of the players some slack, because we don't know exactly what transpired, or why.

I agree with you on some of the attitudes of the FAs today but you have to put yourself in their shoes. They are well paid and highly trained but they have to act in a waitress capacity. It was find in the old days when a better class of people traveled but nowadays anyone can afford to fly and it shows! I had a couple on a flight a few years ago with an entire log of baloney, a cutting board, the big loaf of crusty bread and the serrated knife!!! Too funny - couldn't do that today, though I supposed you could get on the plane with the baloney and it was big enough to give someone a good wallop if necessary. Anyway, FAs today must be in constant awareness of everything - it started with the hijackers and now, we of course know, there are terrorists. Add that with drunken passengers and defecating and urinating passengers and you can have some pretty tense situations! I say we need to give the FA's the benefit of the doubt. God Bless them I say. They are no longer the friendly skies.
