ugh, how on earth could a flight attendant possibly let out a sigh.

Arent we flight attendants supposed to 'serve' the customer for 14 hours straight looking perfect and still smiling at the end of it all. And by customer I mean, those lovely people who catch our flights that 'COMMAND & DEMAND' for hours straight without a please or thankyou.

Just because a flight attendant is looking at the floor or his/her hand or out the window, means nothing. He/she is more than likely going through possible scenarios that could occur, ie rejected take off with a fire involved and going through drills for his/her position, which emergency equipment they are going to use and the commands they will be using. So dont assume that flight attendants are doing nothing when they sit on the jump seat. Imaging what sort of panic it would create if a flight attendant sat on their jump seat for take off and starting saying 'evacuate evacuate evacuate'. Hence then that these sort of things are not usually verbalised on the jump seat.

Seasick, please may I suggest next time you approach a crew member and maybe talk to them like a normal human being. We are approachable. And rather than a !!!! load of speculation, get the facts before hyping up and fabricating a whole heap of.........
