Flight Attendants do a thankless job.
They have to service and be polite to people that simply ignore them when they give the pre-flight instructions.
Polite to people that will be looking to them in the event of an emergency.
Polite to people that are to busy to pay attention to simple instructions.
Imagine talking to a group of non-responding, eye-rolling, magazine reading adults with instructions that could save lives.
Do you want to be treated well on an airplane?
Here is the simple secret.
Make eye-contact with attendant - positive eye-contact!!
When they point to the exits...even if you know where the exits are...follow them...make them feel valued...maybe learn something.
Say thank you.
These under appreciated airline slaves may surprise you with an upgrade to first class because your actions made them feel valued.
They sometimes, if the opportunity exists, like to return the goodwill.
