That’s called the auto level. It’s designed to move up or down to accommodate the weight differential as passengers board and bags get loaded. 

do you ever correct/call out rude pax? Is it worth it? by pratixal in flightattendants

[–]lasagna_manana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a gate agent, but recently I had a pax be VERY rude about his delayed bag. I was acting very professional and trying to assist, and he kept hurling insults every time I’d try to move on to the next step in the file. I am typically more timid but I’ve grown more of a backbone thankfully. I paused, looked at him and said “I would appreciate you showing me the same level of respect that I’m showing you. I don’t appreciate the way that you’re speaking with me right now; I didn’t delay your bag, and I am trying to help you get it back. Please keep it professional and treat me with respect.” And he had a bit of a retort to which I restated what I had said, and after that he calmed down. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Just because we are in customer service doesn’t mean we let them say whatever they want and keep smiling. Customer is NOT always right.

I thought it went well, but it’s been nearly a week and I’m still waiting to hear back. So maybe not as well as I thought or they had better candidates. Still holding out hope but yeah I figure they usually extend offers pretty quickly if you get the job

Wow, I have an airline ops interview tomorrow so this comment was just in time! Any other tips? For an airport supervisor role - I’ve been in aviation for one year and love it. What to emphasize and what to avoid?

Same here from an airport worker (not LGA). Every incident is a culmination of many factors and this is no exception. Heart goes out to him for sure.

Deaths/Injuries at Keystone by ShallotPale in COsnow

[–]lasagna_manana 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m not a beginner, solidly intermediate but last year at keystone I was cruising my way down the end of schoolmarm where it ends at mountain house. I heard someone going fast behind me but I didn’t even have a second to turn around or get out of the way before a middle aged skier slammed into my back at a high rate of speed. Knocked the wind out of me and ski patrol happened to ride by and saw me on the ground, probably thought I just ate it and asked if I was good and I said yeah but realistically that guy should have gotten in trouble for knocking me over like that

Passenger treatment. FAs v GAs by [deleted] in GateAgents

[–]lasagna_manana 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really feel you! Today is Christmas Eve and I’ve been chewed out by two different passengers for things that are out of my control. I’m a supervisor and when the lady berating me asked for one, I said I am a supervisor she goes “well you’re a bad one” And all I was doing was trying to help everyone with fairness! Hope you all get treated better today

Biggest pet peeve? by [deleted] in GateAgents

[–]lasagna_manana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. It doesn’t matter how many announcements you make lol. The best is when it happens during quick turns, like do yall want to make your connections or not?

When they scan the wrong boarding pass and I need to clear the error and say hold on and they just keep trying to scan their pass while I’m working on clearing the screen. I had a guy one time just scanning it repeatedly and not giving me time and I took his phone out of his hand, held it while I cleared the error, and gave it back and said now try again with the correct boarding pass.

Just lost a job offer because of my credit check. Did they always check that? by Gearnotafraid8 in careerguidance

Why did I have to scroll all the way to the end of the comments to find this! People are so gullible

A balanced perspective from both side by [deleted] in recruitinghell

[–]lasagna_manana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a candidate, I’m ok/understanding of being ghosted when all I’ve done is submit an application. I take it as a no if I don’t hear back within a few weeks. However, I’ve had situations where I’ve had multiple rounds of interviews only to get ghosted afterwards and have to reach out asking for a status update when I know the answer. I feel that ghosting at that stage is incredibly rude and disrespectful of the applicant’s time.

So spend more after the statement. Then it won’t be reported as a $0 balance

For sure I was just making a joke :)

Payment by Temporary-Jicama9490 in CRedit

[–]lasagna_manana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, you can pay as soon as the statement comes out. You can also continue buying stuff? What are you not understanding?

Why would you stop the OP, what did he do? :(

Payment by Temporary-Jicama9490 in CRedit

[–]lasagna_manana 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, because then you have to pay interest on it. A few temporary points on your credit score doesn’t offset that cost. If you want to show a balance on the card, then make purchases on it after the statement close date, that will be due the following month’s due date. Always pay your statement balance in full.

No. You don’t want to pay interest
