First Bag...

You might do your best when off loading 185 bags and loading another 185 in less than 25mins, hat's off to you. But try to serve "tea and biscuits" to 189 pax in a 2hrs flight, the majority coming from a "chav raising culture", have people swearing at you just because you need to have the emergency exit rows clear for take off and landing and they wouldn't give you their bags to be stowed in the overhead lockers... And SO many more examples if you want to...
As for the captains... Why don't you try go through training for roughly 2 and a half years and become a pilot, then see what's it like to have a ground staff/ baggage handler coming to YOUR flight deck and calling you "mate" or "dude"? That is so disrespectful. As a CPT you are responsable for 189 plus 6 souls... If you think a CPT is rude, well you have another one coming. A CPT is NOT your village bus driver... He is GOD in that a/c for that day. Without him, the flight will never exist,pax would not be able to go from A to B. So back off a little and have a close look at what you wrote. No matter you are FA, CPT, FO, handling agent, YOU don't disrespect people's careers like you did. Of course there are bad eggs in every basket, but tell me, where aren't they...???

And as far as i knew, freedom of speech was still allowed... Dumbdumbrain only said his opinion, no reason for you to take it to a "slagging off" level.

Take care.
