Naughty! Naughty! All those cheeky and pissed-off emails are right here in their full glory! Maybe you'll recognize a few of them...

hi Dave, congratulation to this site! it is so much fun! it is also great to see there is something made by f/a for f/as, so we can all unite instead of seeing each other as competitors from afar, not to mention to release some stress... however, looking at the dates, a lot of messages are 1 or 2 years old, hasn't anyone left any message lately? i would love to see some messages that are more recent. please keep up the good work and safe flying... Anne, ual. [Copied from email 03 May 2002].

This is the greatest page EVER!! Its hysterical... and I'm ordering some crew tags. I'll put the order "form" up in my crew room. Best, Jill. [Copied from email 02 April 2001].

Dave, Just wanted to tell you that I laughed my ass off reading the monologues. Though, I take exception to the Delta hot towel joke. We are not all related to the Clampets nor would I ever marry my first cousin unless she was really cute with big hooters. Keep up the good work that you do on behalf of all F/A's nationwide. Cheers!

Hi Dave, I've been a fan of your website ever since I surfed by it one dull day at home. I'm writing in hopes that you might answer a few interview questions. You see, I'm a flight attendant for American Airlines and I've been commissioned to write a handy little manual for wannabe flight attendants. The 6 interview questions are simple ones--What do you like about your job? What have you learned working the job? --etc. I also need a few tips that you can give our future colleagues. Your name, airline, base and email address would be listed as well. I need different people from various airlines for the project. I'm contacting you in particular because you obviously have a great since of humor and you know a lot about the industry. Also, I'd really like a guy's perspective, as this manual is for everyone. If you'd like to volunteer a few minutes to answer some questions, let me know. I do have a deadline, so please contact me regardless. Thanks! [Copied from email 28 February 2001].

There are so many funny things that happened to me when I flew for Air Holland and I could go on for hours. Now I fly for KLM but still I think flying for a charter companie gets you in contact with the most stupidest people alive, and I enjoyed every minute of it! But than again, all pax, on what airline, they all leave there brain at home!!!!!!!! [Copied from email 27 February 2001].

I just found your site... I LOVE it. But I'm curious, why did you say in your disclaimer that it might be shut down soon? I really hope not. Free Speech is a beautiful thing...even for flight attenants. [Copied from email 11 February 2001].

hi, i just noticed your "safety cards" section of your site and was surprised. i made all of those captions myself and posted them on my site... not to be redistributed through other humor-based web sites. they aren't even the ones with the airtoons.com url in them. could you please take down that section of your site? thank you. -taber from airtoons.com [Copied from email 10 February 2001]

Hey Taber, I got your unlabeled safety cards about year ago through an email from some flight attendant; it was sent around the internet as a big-ass file. I only discovered your site about 6 months ago, and told myself if you ever came knocking on my door I would take it off... and here you are! So it was fun while it lasted, but I'll take down the section in a few days. The weird thing is whenever I "borrow" stuff from other sites, I always put "copied from such-n-such website" with a link. For some reason I never got around to adding your credit... sorry about that. I'll keep you in the link section though. Fly safe, Dave Meadows.

That is halarious! You are awesome! My whole crew was talking about this page tonight, I'm on a layover and i just had to find it! Thanks for making my night, knowing now that my airline isn't the only one that this shit happens to!

Dave, since you added the disclaimer, AOL will not allow me to enter throught "the front door" of the FABP. It states that it is not permitting entry. Fortunately, I had bookmarked another page, and I am able to circumvent the main page. Please!! You must fix this horrible situation... or we will lose a few fan blades in our engines!!!!

Congratulations! What a wonderful site I just discovered. By the way, I am the author/publisher of "Broken Wings: A Flight Attendant's Journey," a non-fiction book, spanning 7 years of my 25 years as an Air Canada F/A and containing a multitude of meticulously researched topics never before exposed to the public or aircrew. Pls. take a look at www.brokenwings.com, and let me know if you want a review-copy. Perhaps some of the contents would tie in well with your web-site.
Hope to hear from you soon, and Happy Landings. [Copied from email 13 January 2001]

Hello Ralph, I understand that you did not want any "hate mail" stemming from your comments on the Flight Attendants Bitch Page. However, I feel that I would like to clarify a few items. I would like to assure you that we ALL like our jobs......and sometimes hate our jobs. Just like every other living person on earth. And we have the right to bitch, just like everyone else. Believe it or not, the world is a customer service world. We are all dealing in a customer service field. Even doctors, operate in a "customer service" environment. So, in saying that, even doctors are allowed to bitch about their jobs. We are very well aware of who pays the money. We are all very well aware of why we have the job. And we are all very well aware of our function and why we were hired. Thank you for clarifying that. Having said that, we also have the right to bitch, amongst ourselves, to relieve stress, or express dislike for a trait, or just to VENT. After all, free speech is not illegal.
Have a good day, Joe.
p.s. If the contents of the Flight Attendant Bitch Page offend you, I would highly recommend to you that you no longer visit the site, thus sparing yourself from reading anything that might disturb you. [Copied from email 13 January 2001]
