    What Airlines Do That Annoy Passengers... And Flight Attendants!

    Flights get delayed, policies make no sense, and the first person you vent to is usually a gate agent or flight attendant. Here’s the thing: half the time,  we are just as annoyed as you are, and often they aren’t even getting paid while it’s happening. This week they go through 25 things airlines do that drive passengers and crew crazy, from delays with zero information to connection times that no human could make. Hear our rants about the people who book the aisle and window and then pass a laptop over the middle seat, We tell a story of a tiny emotional support dog, a very messy plate of chicken and rice, a surprise $200 tip, then settle the great “should airlines nickel-and-dime you” debate (with a eulogy for Spirit). Plus, a deeply personal plea for better wheelchair assistance and a request for more air vents on Airbus jump seats. PS: You can check out the Everyone’s A Little Queer Podcast HERE!

    The Reality of Being a Flight Attendant Commuter

    Flight attendants, pilots, and gate agents all do it: they get on an airplane to get to the airport where they get on another airplane for work. We have both commuted at different points in their careers (Andrew for ten years, Rich for a rough six months of Megabus-and-regional-flight chaos), and this week we break down what it's actually like, from why people do it to what it costs them. We talk about crash pad life (including the hot bed vs. cold bed divide), why commuting is basically a second full-time job, and our hard-earned "commuter commandments," like befriending your gate agents, packing shelf-stable food, and never walking away from the gate just because the door closed. Plus a round of Would You Rather, a rant about the passenger who slept through his own deplaning, and a favor to ask of everyone listening on Apple Podcasts. Chapters: [0:00] Welcome to Episode #54!

    Unwritten Rules Every Flight Attendant Should Know

    There's nothing worse than boarding a new aircraft and finding the galley left in shambles by the previous crew. We spend plenty of time on this show discussing passenger etiquette, so this week we are turning the mirror on flight attendants and breaking down the unwritten rules of the galley, aka the office, the kitchen, the break room, the storage closet, etc., that also happens to sometimes be the only sane corner of the airplane. From wet counters and unlatched carts to hoarded ice mallets, a mysterious abundance of hand soap, and a heated debate over who actually answers the call bell, we’ll talk and laugh about what every crew member should be doing (and what flight attendants are all quietly guilty of). Episode Highlights: [0:00] Welcome to Episode #53! [1:17] Drew & the crew’s pet peeves [3:06] Those galley behaviors [5:18] Rich & the nervous passenger [8:47] We love our Senior Mamas!

    Should Flight Attendants Be Nicer?

    "Flight attendants used to be so much nicer." We have heard it all before—in this episode, we’ll actually sit with the question instead of dismissing it. The honest answer: sometimes, maybe, but being nice doesn't mean saying yes to everything, and a lot of what passengers read as rudeness is really just policy enforcement, boundary-setting, or a flight attendant who's already been ignored by 100 people that day. We get into real moments from the last few weeks—a maintenance-related reseating that turned into a shouting match, the exhausting experience of working with a coworker who makes offensive generalizations and doubles down when called out, and the psychology of why grown adults get so defensive about a seatbelt. They land somewhere honest: everyone, crew and passengers alike, could probably stand to give a little more grace. Plus, a Galley Gossip story that will make you rethink public grooming forever! Episode Highlights: [0:00] Welcome to Episode #52!

    Flight Attendant Appreciation: Treats, Gifts, and What Really Matters

    Our DMs have been flooded with the same question: "What should I bring my flight attendants?" So this week, we settle it once and for all — with a big disclaimer up front that gifts are never required, just kindness. But since the trend isn't going anywhere, let’s break down practical gift-giving etiquette, the best (and worst) things passengers have actually brought them, and why unsealed "Nana's cookies" are hard no-no matter how good they smell. We talked about our last Peru group trip (Machu Picchu, non-negotiably difficult but worth every minute) and tease upcoming trips to Iceland, the Baltics, and Albania, before getting into a Galley Gossip story involving a suspiciously buzzing carry-on bag and a job interview gone hilariously sideways.

    The State of the Airline Industry with Sara Nelson

    We’re taking a closer look at the current state of the aviation industry. This is our time to talk about the realities, empathize with each other, and discuss what’s really going on in aviation right now. We’re so excited to have labor leader Sara Nelson in the studio with us this week. Sara is the International President of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, AFL-CIO and was called “America’s most powerful flight attendant” by The New York Times. She is currently leading over 55,000 aviation first responders in 20 airlines all over the United States. Her relentlessness and willpower make her an icon for all of us. We get into the shutdown of Spirit Airlines and what it means for thousands of workers, the situation involving ICE and flight attendant Enzo Thompson, the continued strain on our Air Traffic Control system, government shutdowns, recent aviation incidents, and the bigger question so many crew members are asking: should we be worried about where the airline industry is headed? Sara also shares her perspective on what flight attendants should be paying attention to, what we can actually do, and why having a strong collective voice matters SO much right now.
