I just finished a week long trip and it was the first time I flew with a senior or cabin Cheif whom the crew collectively disliked.

I had flown with this person once before and when I did I liked him but he didn’t have any power on that trip.

This trip started out like most others, with one exception. I was the only lady on the crew. 

I worked upfront with the person under scrutiny and it was great. Although I did find some of his jokes and ways to be slightly unprofessional, I overall had a good time on the first leg.

The second leg went pretty well from my perspective as well but I started to here whispers of the dislike. 

By the end of the trip I understood. Although my opinion of this man was not influenced by others, I would have to agree that lines were crossed in the professional sense and because of that it made me loose respect for someone who started out with my respect.

On a greatly positive note: the trip with these men turned out to be one of my finest trips… they played around with me and joked with me, made me feel included and looked out for me. It was reminiscent of being a kid with all my siblings and for that I am extremely grateful!! 

These men will always be my bros and I will have a special place in my heart for them every time I fly with them. 

Once you are in my heart, you don’t get out easy so loyal to them until they prove unworthy.
