Clearly we need a new advisor. Watch out if you have to fly AA in March...I have always found the attitude of flight attendants directly related to the climate of labor-management relations. When things are good, they are cheerful and helpful. When things have been bad, they can be rather sullen and perfunctory. I do not blame them for being upset and always support them over management, but they need to mind how pleasant they are being towards customers even when things at the home office are not good.
