Passengers who tell them that anyone could do their job
As one Reddit user and flight attendant explains, flight attendants receive extensive training to be able to keep you safe no matter what.
“I’m always surprised at how people feel the need to just be unnecessarily rude,” the Redditor wrote. “I’ve been in the middle of a safety demo and had people feel the need to interject [about] how easy my job is and how they could do it without a second thought.”
“You don’t see me getting to the plane an hour and a half early to preflight all emergency equipment and do a security check on the plane,” she explained. “You don’t know about all of the intensive training we go through that teaches us extensive first aid, emergency procedures, survival techniques—even aviation basics. We’ve been trained in almost every eventuality that could happen on that flight.”

I can relate to the issues flight attendants face. They have a massive responsibility to protect passengers and courtesy should be given them. I used to do air rescue and people don’t realize the fear and emotion I felt when a rescue mission was called. The flight attendants face long hours from home and a normal social life isn’t likely. They would rather have a respectable friend on their flights and that means a lot more than people could ever know. I would want them to be a true friend regardless of their work because they may be the one who saves your life and it can be at a terrible expense. So when you fly be courteous, respectful, and polite. Those simple things means a lot.
