Let them whine, and we'll see if they want some cheese with that.
Step up to the plate and VASTLY improve your service, or get used to getting your a** kicked.
Oh, and thanks for the heads-up on Emirates Airlines, Johnny!

I remember staying in a hotel in Miami near the airport. There were a lot of foreign airline crews staying there. Watching those Latin American stewardesses made me think I'd died and gone to Heaven.

I think Singapore Airlines was the first, who set the standards for high end service and cute flight attendants.
Then soon afterwards, the rest of the world, sans Uncle Sam, caught up with 'em.
If anything, domestic carriers: US West, United, & American should be called Shank-Air. I think the last time I saw a cute all Yankee staff was on Northwest Air, now about 20 years ago

Afterwards, it was like 'Who Let the Dogs Out'

I flew with Condor Flugdienst to Frankfurt when leaving the US and to be honest their service was way better than US Airways any day and usually I flew on US Airways to Frankfurt. In that German airline I flew I paid much less than on an American carrier and the service was much much better too.

Thank goodness that I only flew US Airways between Boston and NYC, since one doesn't need much service for a 30 min flight time.
Seriously, that's not an airline by any global standards. It's like traveling in the storage unit of a FedEx cargo plane.
If you travel internationally, I think United Airlines (which is kinda average, BTW), is America's only global airline, since they usually have staff, shared between partner nations esp in overseas trips.

Well previous times when I flew them they had the best prices for crossing the atlantic but then when I found out Condor Flugdienst started flying to my home town I gave them a try and to be honest no regrets cause the service was good and it was a direct flight to Frankfurt instead of making a connection in Philadelphia.

One of my bugbears are European airlines - most of them are utter bilge, they have a lot to learn from the Asian and Gulf carriers about customer service.
British Airways are absolutely shocking and crap! I am sure the American carriers are as bad - I flew Avianca last year - they were reasonable, Aeroflot have always been good as have all the Gulf carriers who I rate as very good, best airline is probably Korean Air but all the Asian airlines I have flown with have been excellent. Even the domestic flights are far and away better than anything you would get in Europe.
Customer service has gone so far downhill these past ten years that maybe the end of the pandemic will see a return to better customer service, better food and more pleasant attitudes from cabin crew - British Airways is the one airline where I said farewell to the two hags standing by the exit door and they completely ignored me!
I would never fly one unless I really had to.

This is one of the few areas where globalization has actually improved things. You get the cute stewardesses that everyone wants instead of ugly fat harridans and faggots.

But you’ll be barred from enjoying any of that because you’re too frightened about a vaccine.

Dude, you realise that at best, you are becoming a bitter old man yelling at kids to get off his lawn. You realise that, don't you. The one piece of advice I can give you that you might take is to get a medical check up. Point out a sudden personality change from bad to worse. I'm not kidding.

There, there, there. I know the truth hurts you. No need to lash out in unrestrained anger.
