Welcome to Rude Airlines !

I was watching a program on the lifestyle channel today and the reknown thespian Stephen Fry commented on the serious genericness of Airlines. He said wouldnt it be interesting to get on a flight and be told in a stern voice "put your bloody tray up and and get your seat all the way up for goodness sake." After recently returning from an international holiday i also agree with Fry. I was so sick of being smiled at after the 12hr journey that the last thing i wanted to do at the other end was have some lady look at you and smile and say thanks for choosing Royal Brunei Airways, now im not complaining in that sense because i think it would be appauling if i was not treated with the utmost respect by an airline. But wouldnt it be interesting if you were not greated by some lovely, pleasant airhost/ess but rather a disgruntalted employee who has just done 12 round trip flights with no brakes from Heathrow to Kingsford Smith. The scenario would go something like this i imagine:

"Hurry Up, this plane is already 20mins delayed because of the incompentant ground staff"

"Oi, you lot, listen up, im not standing out here doing these redikulus actions for my own good, its not like i care if you know the saftey features of the plane, I've done this a thousand times already!"

"The captain was going to have a word but he is asleep as this is his 10th flight straight for the week and autopilot is doing its job."

"Were here, dont expect a hand getting your stuff of and pick up your bloody mess were not cleaning up after you as well after 23hrs of waiting on your every desire."

And thats the kind of novelty i would enjoy for about 5 mins, then i would want to kill someone, good for a short period, not for a long haul.

I had to stand up the back for 40 mins waiting for the hostesses to finish serving food so I could get back to my seat. Definately not amusing after 5 mins.

"You said that 30 mins ago you freaking liar! Go die!"
