These sad news reached me on my way from the Philippines to Switzerland during my stop in Singapore, exactly where I met Don together with Per a few years ago. Don, rest in peace! We all miss you!

There usually is one at every jumpseat station and it ...

Re: Memorizing passengers
I think it depends on the system the airline puts their crews together. Some airlines let their FA's fly the same routings for a few months, some don't. I was happy that Swissair did not do that, it's boring. But for passengers who often fly the same route with the same airline, they probably like i...

Re: Welcome to the F/A Forum
I think this forum section is a cool idea, Monica! Yeah, really. I admire these women who do this hard work, sometimes stressfull, and always a smile on their lips (in the face, Halfie)! Gerry, I think you never flew with Qantas, they have no smiles on their lips! You push the call-button, they com...

Re: How to deal with Fearful Flyers?
Yeah, Gerry, a little Gin might help once in a while, but some passengers are really stubborn and insist to avoid alcohol... :mrgreen: OK, I try to give you a serious answer, Pipe! The problem with fearful flyers is usually, that they don't tell you that they have a problem. To be honest, I think ab...

Re: Welcome to the FA forum !
Very embarassing, indeed, but I actually don't know what it means if they ring the chime twice. Might be different from airline to airline, but I think our pilots only chimed twice if we ignored it the first time...
