GOD, I love you guys! You've all said what I feel. I'm always amused when I watch people board the plane while I'm "A" FA and they stop to "stare" at the turboprops. Some of them have looks of horror on their face, some of them look confused. The comments are pretty entertaining, from "they still MAKE turboprops?" (ME - "Yes, sir...this a/c is only a week old,") to, "Is the ride smoother than a bigger a/c?" We had one gentleman yesterday who shot this question at me while boarding and then when he deplaned, shot me a nasty look and stated, "This plane is NOT smooth during turbulence!" AROO? My favorites are the ones who ask if the plane is "safe" or not.
GOD, I love my job....just for the entertainment factor alone!
