An awesome Flight Crew

[flapsforty]

Errmmm.... must be the Americans who fly with us that are the exception then?

I find American passengers as a rule very polite. As long as they get what they have paid for, there is always a 'please' and a 'Thank you Ma'am'. Being by and large frequent flyers, at least domestically if not always world-wide, they know how to behave themselves on an airplane.
They also know what to expect, and god help you and your company if you don't provide it. Which in my book is fair enough, as long as the complains stay within the bounds of the polite. Which, with Americans, they most often do is my experience.

Yup some of them are loud mouth ignorant quarrelsome bastards, but that applies to any nationality. Except to Japanese pax perhaps, but our Japanese FAs tell me they get given hell in a polite whisper, which hurts just as bad .....


OK, one pet peeve: American pax with imaginary but ever so serious allergies, ailments, phobias, specific dietary needs and assorted health issues who expect me to accomodate their particular idiotic whims on a full 737 and a block time of 33 minutes.
