In my line of work I see all kinds of people, mainly high profile business and entertainment types who need to get from point A to point B quickly and quietly. 99.999% of them are absolutely great. I have a few of them that I would go to extreme efforts for if they asked. They are just that nice and pleasant to be around.
Then there is the other 0.001%. These are people who seriously need a tow truck to remove their head from their ass. I swear, if it rained, these people would drown and complain about the quality of water they were drowning in.
Obviously I can't be specific about who I'm referring to (I do like the idea of keeping my job) but lets just say he owns a plane and I recently had to fly him.
What. A. Prick.
There was a brief moment when I thought that they were going to turn out to be very cool but later in the evening as we got back home and I was cleaning up, I found an item (very small) left behind by one of the chairs.
When our poor CSR called him he went orbital. He cussed her up one side and down the other and blamed us for not giving it too him before he left. Hello, butthead, you left so damn fast you nearly didn't get your bags loaded in the car.
Anyway, I'm sure he'll get it, as well as the maintenance bill on his airplane.
Memo to people who own planes: Never piss off or be rude and demeaning to or make disparaging comments about your flight crew, for they have the Power of the Pen.
22 maintenance write-ups later, how's that working for ya? (butthead)
Pwnt by teh pen!
Reminds me of when I used to drive limos. One night I drove for a former Beatle. What a jerk. He acted like he had pulled the sword from the stone and should be named king. It goes to show, we pay the stars (and that includes sports) WAY TOO MUCH MONEY!!!
Sure sounds familiar,
I've been flying around for about 20 years. I'm at the age that i realy can tell them off. And every now and again, i do. I'm way to old to put up with being bullied around. I don't mind a bad mood or getting out of the wrong side of the bed. I draw the line at verbal abuse.
