People can usually tell an a**hole when they see one; this is especially true for service industry workers. And, hear me out. It's possible, you just might be an a**hole.

Seems like you would know. Start treating people better.

We have a rule when flying .." No eye contact" with agents and we act like we don't speak English.

I shouldn’t even touch this because I know that’s what you want. But, speaking of “not that bright”, you are so grossly uninformed. Maybe do some basic googling before you post and make YOURSELF sound not that bright.

Guessing you don't fly much and never went to college. Try googling yourself. Only about 12.5% of flight attendants have Bachelor Degrees...so not that bright.

You’re so smart and I’m so stupid! If you can’t cite it, I tend to believe it doesn’t exist.

I am specifying race because I don’t know how it plays out with different races

I’m the FA PP from upthread, and I couldn’t disagree more. I can’t speak for gate agents, but I have so many female and gay coworkers who go out of their way to deliberately screw with business men, in particular, because they are so self-important, and who are quite protective of solo women travelers.

Sorry, FA pp, but while you and your friends may be all about “girl power” it’s simply not the experience for most of us female frequent fliers, who are regularly expected to be more accommodating and blatantly given inferior treatment to men flying in the same class of service.

Just look at the incident that went viral when the pregnant wife of a pro baseball player was told by the flight attendants she needed to get on the ground to clean up all the popcorn her child spilled on a flight. Whether you want to characterize her as entitled or not, do you really think if it was a man traveling alone with a child they would have treated him the same way?

I mean, you’re only seeing a small sample that the media wants you to see. I fly sometimes 3-4 legs, 3-5 days a week. I can tell you FAs loathe the d*cky business man, or any man who is being a problem, child or not. People are so unbelievably entitled.
