Did you try turning it off and then back on?

I'm sitting here on a Delta plane waiting on the ground while they try and fix the flight attendant call buttons. They just tried turning the plane off and then back on

However did we fly without them?

 

[WelshBloke]

However did we fly without them?

Yeah. Does "Excuse me Miss, double rum please!" not work anymore?

It's not like they are heavily used or acknowledged domestically

Am I the only one that grew up with the notion that only complete assholes use those call buttons? As in - you don't use them to call them to ask for another drink... The real legitimate use was if someone is ill or something serious.

Just wondering if I was the only one brought up that way...

In all my years of flying I've definitely seen some people use it in an opposite sense.

It's a cultural thing. In the US flight attendants are there "primarily for your safety". Other airlines that have a goal above bare minimum customer service encourage call button use for things like drinks, turn down service etc

Yeah but do their CEO's get 50 million dollar bonuses each year on top of their hundred million dollar salary?

Cuz really that's what's most important for an airline.

 

[Sgt. York]

Yes, they do. Why would you think foreign corporations are any different than US corporations.

Having flown several international carriers, this.
