Flight Attendants

For real people need to pay for hotels and meals, and sometimes flight attendants are transported as passengers if the flight is from another city. Their holidays can last two months to prevent overwork. People are always more expensive, need just the higher level of technology.

This proves to me you have a very low understanding of what Flight Attendants actually do. Our main priority is not serving drinks and snacks, its safety. We are trained in water evacuation, fire evacuations, to preflight all our equipment, memorize the detail of every aircraft, ect. There is a greater risk/safety breach with AI being in these positions than a human. It is not simply “customer service”, it is problem solving and ensuring safety of all passengers. If anything would be replaced, potentially gate agents. But FAs and pilots are crucial.

More than tens of thousands would need to be spent per robot just to create and maintain it. The airplane would need more fuel and more space for your plan. You would need super advanced plus millions of dollars in technology for a first responder robot.

Flight attendants make your flying safe you ignorant.

I think that is wrong you see robots can also break easy, if there is a drunk passenger or causing harm robots can break with their wires. In medical procedures or any emergency humans would be faster than the robots having to mechanically bend down taking longer than humans.

When you have a heart attack on the plane who’s going to administer first aid to you? A robot? A flight attendant is there to save your ass not kiss it and their customer service is based on your attitude. It goes both ways

JD deserves the most awful flying experiences after the rudeness he showcased here.

JD I don't know what airline you have been flying on. I have been involved in the airline industry for over forty years, have traveled on numerous air carriers, and have never experienced what you have described in terms of lacking flight attendant professionalism, training, emergency, and medical preparedness.

I have witnessed a decline in the manners and decorum of the passengers traveling. Possibly, the added stress to passengers of airport safety procedures has taken a toll on their nerves. I remember when friends and family could accompany passengers to the gate. Now, the seats are packed in like sardines in a can.

Airline competition made the way for no-frills service and more passengers in smaller seats on airplanes. This has taken a toll on everyone's stress levels. Still, I see friendly FAs who are doing their best to accommodate everyone onboard and assuage those who are already frazzled by the time they take their seats.

A robot may make the dispersion of in-flight commodities easier but it can never take care of all of the emergencies that FAs are trained to handle, the medical emergencies, the duplicate and other seating problems, the myriad of human interactions that FA's handle, unaccompanied children, wheelchair passengers, interaction with cockpit and ground staff, etc., etc. the list goes on, not even considering a major emergency like a hijack incident.

You have vastly underestimated the uber-selective hiring, initial and ongoing training that FAs have. Did you know that they have to take FAA-mandated emergency testing yearly on every airplane which they are qualified to work and pass the test with a 90-100% grade. This includes physical testing in airplane simulators., first aide, resuscitation and cardio procedures etc.

If you see an FA behaving in the unprofessional manner you have described, you should write a letter to the airline about that employee.

Your ex a flight attendant?
