Good Lifestyle

Being an on-board is not an easy concert. You have ultra-long hours, innumerable grumpy passengers, narrow spaces in which maneuver, the constant buzzy of a deafening motor and, of course, the pressure always present that it is up to you, in case of water Landing, to guide the souls of 200 plus from the plane and in the ocean in a timely and organized way. (No sweat!) But while while the edge agents are often nails, there are still many things that leave them completely and completely horrified. To learn what they are, read it and do not forget to never clip your nails halfway!

"Drinking water from the faucet of an airplane is horrible," says the onboard agentCraig Wilcox. And, according to a 2015 study published in theInternational Journal for Environmental Research and Public Health, Wilcox has the right to be afraid. The research revealed that the water supply of many flights has been tested positive for a range of bacteria that can cause diseases (although no infectious dangerous microorganisms, such as E. coli, Legionella and Enterococcus were found ... phew!).

If you needed a reminder, the edge agents are not just the servers of the sky. Like aUser hostel and reddit edgeExplains that the edge agents receive in-depth training to keep you safe.

"I'm always surprised at the way people feel the need to stay unnecessarily impolite," says Redditor. "I am in the middle of a security demo and people feel the need to intervene [about] how easy my job is and how they could do it without a second thought."

"You do not see me go to the plane an hour and a half early to deal with all emergency equipment and do a security check on the plane," she explained. "You do not know all the intensive training we are going through which we teach us of extensive first aid, emergency procedures, survival techniques, even the basics of aviation. We have been trained at almost all the eventualities that may occur on this flight."

Stewardessalways know when you comploiseJoin the Mile-High Club. So, if you think you can keep your dignity on your walk from the sink shame, rethink it. The same goes for an action in the seat too. "Yes, we know when you get a hand one with each other," wrote aUser hostel and reddit edge. Your travel coverage configuration does not deceive anyone.

No dashgers wants to see your barefoot. "I had a passenger in the first row [of the first class] removes his socks and shoes and run his barefoot against the partition (the" front wall "of the aircraft)", wrote anotherUser hostel and reddit edge.

The only thing worse than the passengers who remove their shoes and socks are those who take these barefoot at the bathroom. The Craig Wilcox flight agent confirms that the aircraft staff will always notice - and always judge - those who enter the LAV and will expose their barefoot to everything that may have missed the toilet and hides on the floor. (EW!)

Although you want your nails to have their best before your plane touches, your edge agent preferred do not have to clean your nail clippings on the soil of the cab. AUser Reddit and Old DashterRecalled once two passengers took the personal housework until the next level during a flight. "As soon as he sat down, he has not lost time to take off his flip flops and before I know, his wife was on his knees, cutting his nails", wrote the retribector. "Click, click because they are scattered on the floor."

Most flight attendants have absolutely zero tolerance for drunk shenanigans. "If you drink too much and we cut you when you ask for your fourth double vodka tonic in an hour, do not try to pull the wool on our eyes and ask someone else," wrotea redditor. "We know about you, the head manager will know about you and the captain will know about you."

"As soon as I cut someone, I leave the crew work with me know that I stopped giving alcohol 28b," he continued. "When the manager calls us (every half hour to my airline), we let us know that 28b has been cut off and, in turn, they will let the captain know. ... I do not think a lot of people realize How we keep the flight bridge in the loop on everything that happens. "

Just like most people who are on the clock, dashboardsI do not want you to flirt with them. "My friend (who is a drained agent) Always talk about something weird when the passengers try to flirt with her," wrote anotherRedditor. "She has a strange work schedule, youProbably live on the other side of the country Of her, not to mention the fact that she is at work. It's not that she does not like being flirting, there is just a time and an appropriate place. (Tip: It's not when she tries to serve the passenger drinks behind you). "

"We cross the driveway with garbage bags, there is often a big trash on your way and, otherwise, a trash can just inside the terminal. The back pocket of the seat is not a container at the Recycle Bin, "aOld edge guard and user redditwrote. "We usually have a short time between the flights to store and make a task checklist and find unpleasant surprises nestled in these saddle-stool pockets is not fun."

At the beginning of your flight, the edge agents need your attention for a brief demonstration ofHow to stay safe Cruise in the air. And as you can imagine, they simply have a little frustrated when you decide to not take into account the rules defined by the regulators of the airline.

"It really bothers me when I tell someone something simple, for example, I need you to store your handbag under the seat in front of you" and argue as if it were my personal preference " , wrote aUser hostel and reddit edge. "I always explain very slowly that it is a settlement of federal aviation, and sometimes even then, people argue.Why? They want to know. And it's right. So I tell them, "If we have to evacuate the plane, your handbag could be taken on an armrest and slows not only you, but all the people behind you. '

"Usually, at this point, people conform", continued the Redditor. "But I had a lady spent beyond this point, telling me how much his handbag was expensive and in hand and Italian. ... All I could think was,Wow. You seriously involve that a bag is more valuable than the life of those around you."

The flight attendants understand that children are not always the best instructions - but that makes their work more difficult when children receive a new to the cabin, have explained aUser Reddit and Old Dashter.

"The driveway is not a plane size gaming pin. The floor under your seat is not a diaper basket (yes, found it one there). I'm not a baby-baby -Sitter (yes, I was told that once by a mother with a child it was completely out of control), "wrote the retribector." The folder / tray / tray is not a book to coloring. The sink is not a tree house. I could continue. "And if you are looking for ways to keep your little busy, check out the14 best car games for kids so you never hear "Are we still there".

It's a fact of life that babies cry. And because of this, no new parent should be ashamed if their small starts to take in the middle of a flight. Nevertheless, sometimes the tangrums are overwhelming. "We had times quadrupled on the plane and they all started crying at the same time"Ali gray ofJetgo RecountBetter life.

"If we had two of them to calm, the other two would continue to cry and it was a total domino effect," she said. "We tried to separate babies but I still could not calm them. They cried for about five hours."

Take extra precautions to shower and wear the deodorant is not only appreciated by those in the immediate vicinity of an airplane, but also by the edge agents who must interact with you.

"PSA: If you plan to travel in a sealed tube with hundreds of other people, please check that your body odor does not burn the eyes of the traveling companions," wrote aUser Reddit and Old Dashter. "Seriously, how difficult it is to spray a small deodorant before / between flights?" And for more information on the initiate airlines, see these20 secrets your on-board agent will not tell you.

AUser Reddit and DriverExplained that the discussion with your drain officer for too long makes it difficult for them to do their job. "Please do not monopolize their time," wrote the retriber. "They have stuff to do and a limited time to get there. Be courteous and friendly, of course, but let them do their job."

On the other hand, totally ignoring your on-board agent is nice only. "I was an agent for five years and I spent all the residents at the head at the front by saying hello to every person who walked"Redditor Mercury624 wrote. "Less than 30% would say hello. Have some decency, treat your edge agent as a human man and say hello. We are not happy, the plane is small, late, etc." Speaking of…

Like a reddit user and an old dashboatshareDelays are just as annoying for dashboards and drivers as for passengers. Perhaps even more, since they are not paid until the plane starts moving. "Delays are not my fault," explained the returger. "Even if you are going to visit your dying mother, I can not do anything for keeping people work faster or that snow does not stop falling."

The light of the seatbelt is there for a reason. "I do not care about the way you have trouble going to the bathroom, as a rule if [the edge agents] are sitting, you should always sit," wrote an old dashboard onReddit. "If you break your neck because of the level 5 turbulence (which comes out of anywhere), it is not worth the break of the bathroom."

Hit the call button many times to get the attention of an edge agent is not productive - it's just rude. When they do not fill your drink immediately, it's probably because they are busy, not because they have not heard the call. "Hit the call button 87 times while we embark a single aircraft will not pick me up faster," wrote another Redditor. "The light stays on, I'll happen to you."

It is natural to want to rest a sandwich or other food product on your seat saddle tray. However, you may want to consider that your passenger colleagues tend to change layers, cut their nails and perform other unhealthy tasks on these tables, explains Wilcox. Make sure there is a kind of barrier between your food and the tray.

No matter how much you spent on your ticket, you never have the right to cure around your on-board agent. But that does not stop passengers to do it anyway, according to aUser hostel and reddit edge. The Redditor recalled a passenger who "said the crew, scream because she was sitting by the toilet. She was three rows."

Since transport disease is a relatively common occurrence, almost each edge agent had to clean up the vomit of a passenger. "We had a school group of young children sitting at the front of the plane. On the takeoff, a little boy leaned over the aisle and vomit," wrote aRedditor and Flight Attendant. "The vomit rolled and splashed the driveway almost all the way from the rear galley."

Switching gears, there are serious problems that truly horrify onboard agents, such as flight emergencies and deaths, which occur more often than you think. "I'm on three flights where someone died while I worked (less than a year!)", WroteA REDIT user. "Everyone is dead because of a pre-exactly pre-exacerbated pre-exacerbated medical condition or the constraints of flying. Cardiac crises,featuresAnd aneurysms. As a general rule, passengers had no idea. "

Although the edge agents generally maintain their cool, they sometimes find storms and turbulence as nervous as less frequent flyers. "[Once] on Denver's approach, we were struck by lightning. It was the strongest sound I've ever heard of a flight," wrote a Redditor.

"I was on a Boeing 727 with a front edge friend on the Back Jumppiseat and all the passengers turned to look at us," she explained. "We kissed and plenty, which, as it turns out, makes the panic of the passenger a thousand times worse. The plane was good and we landed safely."
