Jump to postLOL...but the cabin crew loved to operate that aircraft....only 143 passengers in economy...28 in business with old seats...and 12 in First...simple easy service...no IFE malfunctions...no seat malfunctions....perfect.

Jump to postI am wondering how many of you actually take the time to have a chat with the crew?Most are more interested in the IFE and dont even look at the crew when offered something.

I think if Thai had 707s in their current livery it would be beautiful to.
More recently..after the Bali bombing..i was on one of the flights departing Bali...had none in First..3 in Businese..and 7 in economy..and out of the 7..4 were staff.This was on an A310.Strangely the flight into Bali was heavier.

With all this talk about nasty and rude passengers we have forgotten about those who were an absolute delight to serve.It only takes one passenger to make our day..by simply saying "thanks for a lovely flight" or "see u again in 2 weeks!"To those passengers i want to say a big thank you for your kin...
