No, it's the flight deck SPOUSES!!
They're the rudest pax ever - especially when their husband is operating the flight. The demand the earth - whether i've been crew or on the ground.
I remember just a few weeks ago a FO's wife got all stroppy becasue she didn't know the address of where she would be staying her first night in the US, and the system wont check you in without it.
From the moment she stepped up to my desk she was rude and aggresive as if she was above everyone else because her husband was helping flying the plane and she didn't like it that she'd been made to ring him and find out the address as it apparently it made her 'look stupid'.
Was i bovvered? Was i hell.
