Rude Alaska flight attendant
Thanks for your reply.
I thought it was a language issue, but the other passenger is a manager of a pharmaceutical company, and she is american. She approached us and told us what they did to my mom is unacceptable. And there is no reason what so ever for that attendant to refuse proposal for putting the bag under seats. mrt wrote in message .com...

There is absolutely NO EXCUSE to treat a paid customer like that? There must have been some misunderstanding. It is perfectly normal for people to put bags of that size under the seat in front of them. You said "it doesn't matter under her seat or the person in front of her". Actually, it does matter which she was trying to do. I can't picture, under normal circumstances, the action as you have described it. Of course, you are getting it third handed. Is there a possibility of their being a language issue between your friend's mom and the flight attendant? Believe it or not, it is not the objective of flight attendants to yell at people who try to put bags under the seat in front of them. |

Rude Alaska flight attendant
I was writing the first thread for my mom.
And yes, the attendant ( verified by the other passenger ) was rude to my mom and push my mom off the plane, make a old lady cry without apology, force she to put her bag in the cabinet when putting under seat is perfectly fine? I believe once you are on Alaska's plane, attendant can do/say anything against you because you are under their full control. There is no name tag on that attendant's cloth and she is the only person who wear black pants. The first class lady heard the whole incident and talk to head attendant about this. No matter what, attitude like that to a paid customer is unbelievable. And is it true that once you are on their plane they can treat you anything they want? I know Alaska is the cheapest airline comparing to the other's, does it mean we have to compromise for rudeness? Being rude to paid customer will not save them gas money for running the airline. And yes I am not lying or try to ruin Alaska's reputation. Regards, Angelina mrt wrote in message .com...

There is absolutely NO EXCUSE to treat a paid customer like that? Angelina Did this happen to you or your mother? The original thread, over a month ago, was written in the first person. There is nothing in that thread indicating you were referring to your mother. Additionally, you start this with "please refer to my previous posting" There is no logic to this. It is perfectly normal for a small bag to go under the seat in front of you. Since the original poster in that other thread had flow "many times", it seems odd that the FA would need to tell her to put the bag anywhere or that she would even ask the FA if she could put it under the seat in front of her. Also according to the post, the original poster want to put the purse "under her seat". This is not how I normally hear people refer to putting things under the seat in front of them. |

Was your mother in first class? Maybe the other passenger didn't observe the full incident. Even you thought it might be a language issue, which is seems to be, because what you have posted doesn't make sense. 1. FA wouldn't let her put bag under seat 2. Other people retrieving bags but FA told your mother she couldn't. Both of these are normal events. Why would an FA say there was something wrong when your mother tried to do one of them? |

This was a a very unusual experience, if happened as told, and it doesn't make sense. There appears to have been some communcation problem.. |
