I know that....now. But didn't at the time.

When the captain and I got back into the cockpit, he asked me if there had been a previous problem between the F/A and I. Since it was the first leg of our trip and I had never flown with her before, I answered "No."

He had a chat with her and informed me later that if she snapped at me again, she was off the trip.

I've flown with her since and we've had a great time. Must have just caught her on a bad day.

Another problem we have here at Eagle is - people who get fired - generally are back at work within a week or two. We have a F/A who has filed numerous sexual harassment suits against pilots and fellow F/A's..simply because they asked "How was your night?"

She's blown up at Captains, FO's, F/A's, gate agents, passengers, rampers, management...you name it......and been fired.....and rehired.

She's been canned, rehired, canned, rehired, canned, rehired. Aparently, she's "sought help" and her "medication seems to control it."

Same for a few captains (fired and rehired).

Indeed! And my apologies. I did not mean to hijak the thread.

Thanks for the input one and all.

Now....back to your regularly scheduled thread.
