Well, bitchy old flight attendant's (male and female) are quite the norm these days over here on the west side of the Atlantic, it's a constant and dispiriting sign of the times in the 'land of the free'
I do empathize and sympathise completely with fellow sufferers. What is really sad is that they seem to have more right's than us mere 'drivers' and if we do complain about their unprofessional behavior nothing will happen to them, indeed it is us that may be in more 'trouble'
As to age 60 the impending change and the supporters thereof , my thoughts are:
You knew what the retirement age was when you joined.
Notwithstanding the brutal financial hits we have all had to take after 9-11, we all took those hits.
You moved up,on the seniority list in your career because those above you reached 60 and puttered off.
Now you want to change the rules, purely to (slightly) benefit yourselves financially whilst royally screwing those beneath you waiting for their 'turn'
Get a life, bugger off and live longer.
