By right that's stated in 39 CFR and also covered in the GOM. Before and after being a flight attendant I was mostly a cargo and special handling guy, guy. I stayed away from pax service because boxes don't complain, lol. Still, having worked cargo and operations in an USAF Aerial Port gave me a bigger understanding of passenger service and what can and can't go in the cabin but I also know how to handle and where to look for unusual exceptions and make a command decision and also to communicate that to my PIC when necessary.

She also should have referenced her GOM. Unless things have changed since I was a flight attendant I don't believe they get gate checked. I had a similar thing happen with me and a passenger where he had sensitive geological equipment. We got in a bit of a pissing contest but I checked my GOM and he was right. I apologized, I felt like a jerk but I was able to stow his equipment in our closet and enough said.

RTD is supposed to be adding light rail to DIA. I moved from there in 2009 so I'm out of the loop. I did commute from there to my crew in STL and didn't have too much trouble either taking RTD 169LTD or have my wife drop me off or pick me up. It is aways fro downtown Denver though. I lived in Aurora so it wasn't so bad for me.

I saw the video. That was pretty rough.

From 19 to 50 pax only one flight attendant is needed. I worked both 30 pax J41' and 50 seat EMBRAER 145's. The flights aren't normally long but taking care of fifty pax.

I'm surprised DB and Lufthansa didn't do this. When I lived in Germany and flew out I would leave my car at work, bag drag to the Bahnhof and train it to FRA and hop a United flight back home on leave. I won't lie, I got my tickets through SATO I wasn't spending a fortune.

The seats did actually get narrower and thinner. How that got past safety regulations is beyond me.

As a former flight attendant, I agree with you 100%. I've travelled a lot being stationed overseas in the US Air Force. It's funny I was an air transportation specialist and could have flown on our own aircraft but I flew commercial any time I could. The way I saw it, passengers were supposed to be our bread and butter. For the most part I really like most of my passengers. I do miss it, but the way airlines are treating their employees and crew and worse paying passengers like your self. LOL, even though I was just on regional aircraft it was all first class as much as I could make it. You spent good money, you deserve good service. That's how I liked to be treated.

My thoughts exactly. Even when I was flying when one of the pilots had to step away from the flight deck, I would have to take his or her place for safety and security reasons.

As a former flight attendant, I kind of had to laugh. I still joke about being a flight attendant, but I did take my job seriously and CRM was priority. This whole reduced pilot deal does not sit well with me. No pun intended but I can't see that flying.
