minus-squaretheareciboincident@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up12·6 months agoIt’s even funnier when you realize flight “attendants” are highly trained critical members of the flight crew. They are the frontline during an emergency, ensuring evacuations occur promptly and warning the pilots of any issues leaking into the cabin. Disobeying their orders while in flight is a federal crime. This was our one chance to round up the murderous anti-mask bioterrorists en masse, throw them in prison, and let God sort them out. Instead we decided to make flight crew into nannies.
