I don't usually like to post jokes, but this one really hit my funnybone. It's insulting, but as a frequent flyer, it expresses a lot. The attitude of some airline's cabin crew these days can be downright nasty. On the other hand, I flew Frontier Airlines on this trip, and you could tell that the crew really loved their jobs. They were friendly without being robots, relaxed, and concientious.

So here's the joke currently circulating at work. I used to work for American Airlines, and now I fly them frequently.

A guy is sitting in the bar in departures at a busy airport. A beautiful woman walks in and sits down at the table next to him. He decides because she's got a uniform on, she's probably an off-duty flight attendant. So, he decides to have a go at picking her up by identifying the airline she flies for, thereby impressing her greatly.

He leans across to her and says the Delta Airlines motto: 'We love to fly and it shows.'The woman looks at him blankly.

He sits back and thinks up another line. He leans forward again and delivers the Air France motto: 'Winning the hearts of the world.'

Again she just stares at him with a slightly puzzled look on her face. Undeterred, he tries again, this time saying the Malaysian Airlines motto: 'Going beyond expectations.'

The woman looks at him sternly and says "What the f_ck do you want?""Ah!" he says, sitting back with a smile on his face. "American Airlines!!!"
