I have not read anywhere near every post in the 14 pages that make up this thread, but I think we could save a lot of bandwidth and a lot of future embarrassment if the moderators dumped every post on the thread except for the first post and Judd's post #251.
Well said, Judd. You sound like the epitome of the consumately professional flight attendant who (and oh, how I know this next comment will be misunderstood and leapt upon by all too many!!) knows her place in the chain of command on board an airliner. It would be a pleasure to work with you, (and judging from your post leading another current thread, very comforting to be up front with you running the cabin in an emergency).
How in the world can some of you pronounce judgement on something like this on the scant information you have to hand? It's the same attitude that lead to the burning of young women as witches in places like Salem.
