No. That's why so many are leaving.

Methinks "Artist" refers to something "Special". As in "Air Service".

My fave, hearing Captain left bags at bottom of stairs, in his mind obviously to be carried up to the back end by itself...

as they taxi out...

captain - "Loadie, you can see my bags cant you?


Loadie - "Oh yes captain".

Captain gets to destination to find out that the loadie was looking at his bags where they were left through the para door window...

A fool and his bags are easily parted.

Rule number one!

I think you need to speak to Pontious for that one old chap. tiger, tiger, tiger, rar, rar, rar.
Don't worry Tiger person since you started on your "super size me" campaign, Macdonalds have decided to start home deliveries for those too fat to go outside. They just want to know if that is a diet coke you want?

My job is as an Air Steward. Basically, I help board the passengers, sort out the meals, look after people and then get them off at the other end. But my role is really about customer service.

Ah yes, customer service. I remember it well.
Hastings loadie appears from behind the aft screen, wearing mess dress and carrying a large cardboard box, which he places on the floor...

"Gentlemen, luncheon is served!" he announces and proceeds to throw our packed lunches at us.
The usual cheese & tomato sarnie, hard boiled egg, packet of crisps and an apple with brown patches on the skin.

That's customer service.

I bet I know where that Loadie (sorry, crewwwman) would love to shove that thumb

He even has his little deck chair to hand, so what is all this about roughing it ?

I'm sure you must be hilarious in your particular mess, but here you just come across as a complete and utter p###k!

I think the old green eyed monster is coming to the fore in our young man, 1.4g's posts, rejection often causes resentment

Whoa steady seldom (ABIW), I think you need to go forward one and right and release some tension.

I notice from his profile that 1.4G celebrates his birthday on 1st April.

All Fools’ Day – could be a coincidence.
