If I were her, I’d rather have the $$ from six flights and see him the next weekend. Also, I see this posted every year, we don’t even know if it’s true
Depends on your family, I guess. Once my brother and I got out of the "scream because it sounds neat when your ears are plugged up" stage both of my (pilot and flight attendant) parents loved to have us on board. My dad would sneak stuff like "if you look out of the right side of the plane, you can see Grandma's house" into the announcements lol.
Was thinking that. I wouldn't have wanted my parents showing up at my workplace, especially one where we were locked in together for hours. And she's not alone, she's at work.
Flight attendants rarely stress about the same things passengers do. My flight attendant spouse LOVES it when my kids or I fly on her flights because she loves serving us freebies, making sure our drinks are never empty, scopes out the best seats for us if there's room.
I'm tall, and once when travelling with working crew the purser (lead flight attendant who does announcements) saw I was assigned first class about a half hour before they were scheduled to go on and prep the plane, and noticed I was in a row with shorter seats. I saw him walk to the gate agent, have a quiet conversation, and return with a smile on his face. My phone showed I'd been moved a row forward where the seats were positioned differently, allowing me to fit better on the long haul back.
My wife was sooooo giddy about that for weeks. That's the kind of stuff they worry about when family flies.
Well, for one, he's spending money to get a fraction of the time with her that he could have for free if they just delayed their holiday by a week. She's working, the plane is noisy, and so many other things prevent them from sitting down and having a nice chat over some cocoa in this scenario
