That is true, I am not military.
But I do know the Founders didn’t want anybody, including the military, to be given privileges. They did not want an aristocracy forming in your country.
Can you show me where I have insulted this soldier?
Yea, the last time I flew was pre TSA.......
It's not for First Class. You're probably thinking of TSA Pre-check. I know you can pay about $80 and be guaranteed Pre-Check for all flights. But I don't have it and I travel for business occasionally and I'll get a Pre-Check on my boarding pass about half the time.
Because they pay more.
A public,written apology by the CEO *and* a pair of *first class* (so he can hang his coat up) domestic tickets is the only adequate restitution for this man.
It’s called customer service.
I fly a lot and see them doing this for coach passengers all the time.
You’re wrong.
Geez...is there anyone left in this country who isn’t some sort of petty control freak?
Us airways sux. If you eliminated the bad customer service they wouldn’t have any service.
After your first stupid post, I thought you made a slip up, your second one proved that stupidity is genetic, and this one should bar you from drinking Canadian beer early in the morning, because you surely must be drunk.
that’s nothing. They have generals in NoKo with so many medals, they run down their trouser leg. <sarc
I’m so glad I don’t need to fly anymore. I never liked dealing with flight attendants that had attitudes.
You cannot be serious!
When I was in the Army, first, I would never be given time off to fly around the country for job interviews. This could only happen if I was approved to take leave; if I was on leave I was not in duty status and would not be authorized to wear the uniform. It would have definitely been a UCMJ offense to wear the uniform in public for a job interview. Second, if the guy has already ETS'd, then he is not authorized to wear the uniform at all, except for military funerals, etc. Something here isn't adding up, or maybe the rules have changed?
“Then the soldier should have bought a first class ticket if he wanted first class service.”
“The soldier”, a First Sargent, has obviously “seen the elephant”. And, thereby deserves a little consideration in my opinion. The flight attendant was making a political statement, anti-military for sure. And, hopefully will get burned for it.
WRONG!!!!
I was a flight attendant for that airline.
SHE DID THE WRONG THING.
She could have hung it up but hates herself, her job and her life choices and takes it out on the passengers. I worked with many just like her. I have personally been on the receiving end of that attitude when I had to fly usair. The flight attendants didn’t know I was a former coworker and treated me like I was lowlife trash- for simply wanting to give my First Class upgrade to a veteran seated beside me in a middle seat who was missing part of his leg.
I hope AA terminates that FA.
Yes, I noticed that too. You would think an organization like The Daily Mail would use spell check.
$$$$$$
Poor Jonty....sounds like you’ve never been the recipient of love, kindness and GRATITUDE.
I’m being beaten up. :)
I don't even know how to use it but wouldn't spellcheck allow 'Sargent' just because it is a common surname?
What they ought to do is, one, hire people who know something about the military, and two, hire people who can spell!
