A Dissappointing Flight

     I have flown on & off for over 3 decades with two other old farts, we've triple buddy bid for years & they have seen me go thru a gillion changes with the times.  They are great FA's & funny as hell.  Together we are hilarious & pretty much legends for being outrageous at our base after all this time.  And also for cussing & swearing like we have tourets syndrome.  They always work in coach (Main Cabin) & I in first class. 

     Well, I have picked up extra trips a lot in coach for a few years now.  And I have also worked with so many different FA's.  So imagine my shock & surprise this last trip when I picked up an Extra posistion in coach to fly with them again, & I ended up not so thrilled.

     Not that this is of any monumental importance, but I don't really care for the way they work their trip back there.  They were still great & also very professional, so it's not that.  I just don't like it, other FA's do it so differently & they are stuck in their own rigid habits.  Whatever.  I was just dissappointed. 

     And one of them has a mean streak that I doubt I'll ever get use to.  It comes on suddenly, out of the blue for no reason.  Example:  Going thru security at lax I say to her as I'm gathering up my things & putting my jacket back on, "you guys go ahead, I know you like to get coffee at Starbucks."  To which she gives me this look of dissdane like I'm crazy & stupid & says shaking her head, "ohhh you're way off.." like I'm making it all up...  Writing it down, I just sound too sensitive..  but being there, it just wasn't necessary.  Especially like they always want to go early to get the fucking coffee, but oh... I guess that's just in the (early) morning? Okay, I'm wrong, it's not that early, it's almost noon, I'm CLEARLY way off.  Wierd.  sheesh.  I ignored it. 

     Neither one of them even looks at computers, so I doubt they'll ever read this.  And it's not that big of deal, anyway.  I just expected more.  I was really so happy to see them after 4 months apart.  But I just had thought it would have gone differently.

     Oh, & it came up that this one doesnt like Rosie O'Donnell, Joy Behar or Kathy Griffith because "they're so mean" & she doesn't think that's necessary.  Lordie, try looking in the mirror, darling.  I mean, SERIOUSLY.

     Why is this making me sad & annoyed?  I don't know, maybe because I couldn't wait to surprise them & be a part of the 'coach team'.  And it WAS good to be back with them.  I guess it just reminded me of things I didn't care about them, too.  AS IF there aren't a bunch of things that annoy them about me.  I'll look back on this as just another experience of us together over the years & see how silly I was to have felt upset.  I do think I'll start writing it all down now, tho.  Try not to pass out from bordom.
