Tacky at best. What's next, selling timeshares on AA's underused 787's?
So she said there were only two left yet she was able to make a fan of a dozen of them? Lame.
Only in america - instead of people doing their job they waste time selling WMD’s and both seller and buyer get rewarded for it. I will never understand this society that seems to be hanging together from corporate greed.
Just out of curiosity, do these applications have some tracking code that the flight attendants get personally credit/commission for?
I kind of ignore the pitches. I am annoyed at the fa's that are on their damn phone when we are deplaning and can't even say good bye.
I worked for one of the legacy carriers for over 20 years. Flight attendants who work for American, United, Delta & Southwest are very well paid. Most are making 70,000 plus per year.
As far as the credit card sales go, the only reason they are being promoted is because the airline employee is being paid every time an application is approved. I personally know 2 ticket counter agents who are making $300,000 per year selling credit cards. At least 10 of their co-workers in the same city are making $150,000 plus. Passengers are profiled as they are checking in & the ones most likely to be approved are given a hard sales pitch. The airlines do nothing about the complaints regarding credit card sales because they are making huge amounts of money from this.
"Tickets for two anywhere in the domestic United States".
If you are willing to take three flights, two connections, one of which is a red-eye followed by a 10 hour connection.
How could that not be fraudulent advertising.
Another annoyance.

Hahahahahaha! Sure, Jan.
So after paying an extra $110 day of for a very little extra leg room & to avoid a middle seat then offered no advertised “free cocktail”; have to pay a baggage fee cos I booked 2 res instead of 1 (& only one of these “free 1st bag” credit cards); “run out” of gross $7 sandwiches on a 6-hr flt; be loudly berated for “not putting my seat up on departure or arrival” (seat is busted & they will have to write it up) they want to then reach into my wallet further? It’s just SO Southwest, completely pedestrian.
