✈️ Fly With Me: How Interesting It Is When You Notice People's Special Behavior In The Plane

There is always a rumor to describe the inflight passengers - Passengers in the flight always become (extremely) different from when they are on the ground.

What kind of difference? Um.. the best interpretation is they never hide their real emotions anymore - they become grumpy, impolite, selfish, depending etc.. It doesn't apply to everyone as I always meet nice people with super good manner in the flight even I pour the orange juice on their body accidentally or I forgot their requests as I was too busy for dealing 100 people on my side…If my man @jankasparec read it, he must say: ‘you are so clumsy.’ He is partially right haha!

Anyway back to the story on the recent flight. That’s why I bring up this ‘theory’ from our industry. There was a Chinese mum with her more than 10+ years old kid sitting in economy class on the flight from Vancouver to Hong Kong. At the first beginning, I didn’t recognize her until a drama happened.

She and her son was sitting at row 62 A and B and there was a family sitting in front of them (61 A-C)— two kids and their mum. The mum was telling us in a polite way that her son’s seat (61A) couldn’t recline even they did, the seat back went upright again. My colleague double checked the set for her. The lady behind heard the conversation and she felt offended. She shouted back to the mum and said it’s not her who blocked the seat bla bla bla.

The whole cabin was silent and all passengers just looked at her. She also complaint that another kid who sat in front of her son always grabbed the back seat from the front and tried to steal their things they stowed below the PTV…Clarify one thing first : The kid is 5 year-old little girl and even me I can’t grab the back and touch the space they stow things. Anyway, we asked them if she lost something then. She said no but she thought the girl would steal things again then we would know. Such a drama queen…

When back to the galley, I checked her profile. I was incredibly surprised when I saw her name. She is my primary school Chinese teacher whom my mum respected her so much. She was kind and understanding person.

One important skill I learnt from this job is observing and understanding more humanities. Ego - something damaged people’s relationship and actually damaging ourself with lies, defending and selfishness. You think others can’t see how you try to cover yourself? Only us is blind and lying to ourself.

Probably the shitty and uncomfortable environment, dry air, annoying passengers, baby crying, and lack of sleep makes people depressed and grumpy in the plane. Oh god. Now I know why I was so low everytime after the flight - received too much negativity. Better go for a drink and sleep for 10 hours to get rid of the shxt. lol

Have a great day guys!
Thank you for reading:)
