WE DONT CARE ABOUT YOUR SEAT NUMBER!!!!!!

It is a security procedure, all we are checking is the flight number and the date to ensure that you are supposed to be on this aircraft. WHY DO WE DO IT when the boarding staff should have already done so???? We do it because sometime in the past people have managed to slip through the system and as it was decided that the cabin crew are the first and last point of contact for anyone intending on entering an aircraft it is best we check again just in case!!!

No we only tell you which way to your seat just out of politeness!!!
