Flight Attendant on U.S. Airways Insults Army Ranger

Contrary to popular and unadvised belief, it is against federal regulations to change seats across cabins once on board, so the notion that someone in first class should have changed seats with him, however well intended, would have been a breach in security.

True enough. But it happens every single day on flights all over the world, I'd wager, if they are not full. I know on nearly every flight I have been on that wasn't full, once the door was shut, we were allowed to spread out, even to lay down while flying. A simple notation on the manifest would have been all it took to maintain order and discipline. The Captain can authorize that.

Rude customer service experiences are very common. I'm not sure I understand why it matters who it happened to. There's a complaint procedure everyone can make use of. Leave it at that.

I think you just failed your American Citizenship test

Alot of airline situations are hitting the media these days. Yesterday I read Jetblue denied a passenger passage on a flight because she tweeted the pilot was being forced to take a sobriety test (which was true).

Exactly. On the way back from Co REA this week we had an Airbus 380. Lots of empty seats. Everyone spread out all over the place.

He has been wearing the uniform on job interviews across the country while pursuing his dream to become a doctor, his family told Channel 9.

he was wearing the uniform to civilian job interviews. Is that out of regulation.?

Not out of regulation, but not too common. Unless you're applying for Government jobs that require you to be on orders(reserve components that get activated for example) you would do an interview in civilian clothes. He probably flew in uniform due to the benefits you'd get from the airline.

Correct. That hasn't changed and you can still take any available seat you wish in your cabin once the doors are closed.

is he really a first sergeant? he had his hands in his pockets!

I noticed that as well, we used to call it wearing your airforce gloves. I didn't mention it for fear of reprisal. Also I don't think that uniform without jacket would be authorized unless he had on a name tag and ribbons underneath which I highly doubt but I'm not familiar with the Army uniform manual.

You both obviously missed the "across cabins" part.

[Jacque67 7,328]

Yeah. All my surgeon friends wear scrubs when going for an interview;)

The guy is a pr£ck.

I used to wear my uniform in public...when I was looking for free drinks.

Didn't miss it at all. I've moved from coach to 1st before when a seat was available.

What benefits? I've flown in and out of uniform and never saw a difference.

Made no difference to me, between coach and first

The one time my frequent flyer miles got me upgraded to First Class, I gave it up to go back to Coach, as they didn't upgrade the better half, or the munchkin.
