I've flown with an ample amount of European and US airlines. As far as Europe goes, I've been on BA, LH, KLM, and AF. And as far as the US airlines are concerned: DL, US, WN, F6, HP, CO, NW, AA, UA and FL (Airtran). It has been my experience that no one airline has the "best/worst" flight attendants. Certainly, there are bad seeds in every apple, but if Flight Attendants from one airline or another were so bad, they wouldn't have a job. I think that most Flight Attendants are really helpful, and are good at what they do. Of course, you're bound to run into one or two that are cheeky or unwilling to help. SO WHAT!? Deal with it.
