Insider Stories: Flight Attendants’ Eye-Opening Air Travel Facts

#29: Feeling Sleepy

I don’t know about you guys, but I personally really like having a set, predictable schedule for work. Like knowing I’m going to have evenings and weekends off. Because I don’t think I would thrive in a situation where the schedule was constantly changing, and sometimes, I’d have to work for long stretches. I would be deeply crabby all the time, and no one would want to hang out with me.

So, knowing that flight attendants often find themselves in the very situation I hate, I think we should all be nice to the poor folks. They have to stay cheerful and perky while serving Pepsi to ingrates, and they have to do it while exhausted. The least you could do is be nice to them.
