While this points to either inadequate education or an unusual level of stupidity in the individuals concerned, it hasn't made me feel any safer.
Never had FAs do or say anything like that. They come in, stand there and chat if I want, then when I let the other guy in they go back out. Me thinks your FAs haven't been told what they're there for.
