I’ve had the opposite experience. I was canceled flying from a small airport to San Francisco due to fog in the bay which makes it so small regional jets cannot land. I listened to multiple people use your method and get nothing but a rebooking from the agents since it was demonstrably weather and outside the…

meh....these will never beat the good ol’ Aladdin lunchboxes

Don’t look now, but your privilege is showing.

Chiming in with Whiggly, no problem with you recording and doing it to cover your ass, and helpin insurance or other situations. Its when its then uploaded or streamed for all to see. I’ve given personal information and stories before in the course of having friendly conversations with the drivers, but I would not…

Recording is one thing, but live streaming it and having an opportunity to profit from me without my knowledge is another.

For recording, yes, but the broadcasting has multiple issues, including profiting off someone’s appearance without consent or payment, the risk of misrepresentation, and turning the person into a public figure. All of these were issues in the PlaneBay dustup.

I’m very curious how they define “service industry.”

No, just a person who incorrectly assumed I was talking to someone smart enough to infer from that statement that i don’t tend to use it very much at all.
Since apparently no adult has explained that concept to you yet, I will spell this out for you...

The answer is much simpler. If it’s reasonable to think that a flight attendant can directly intervene to handle your request in a timely manner, press the button. If it’s not, don’t.

Their title is literally flight attendant, I feel like it’s pretty reasonable to assume they are supposed to attend to you.

This quote is from flight attendant union boss, who’s job it is to make them work as little as possible and to try to elevate everything to “safety”, which is nonsense.

I did. Here’s the relevant quote.

Many of them have a literal image of food/drink on them.  This is just salty/lazy flight attendant nonsense.  

This is a recent redefinition of use of the call button. In the early days of flying, the button was to call for service and the attendants would drop by and ask what you needed or wanted.

Eh, I disagree. He had already given the front-row kid a ball, and so he gave this ball to another kid who (presumably) hadn’t gotten one. That seems to me like the good and just thing to do.

University librarian here. Educational institutions usually won’t give you access to subscribed content that you can access online, as the licenses that we pay exorbitant amounts of money for do not allow for this, even with a library card or account. However, you can walk into just about any college library and access…

Except no one claims that. That’s...not how you kill germs.
