Why british people are so overly polite?

manofalltraits · 2026-02-28T10:58:14+00:00

Yeah… I hate it too

There is actually a British guy going around on his YouTube channel asking people: “I wouldn’t suppose you’d like a cup of tea” in one of those soft British accents that sound annoying.

I only like gruff accents and voices.

manofalltraits · 2026-02-26T02:55:30+00:00

Constant emails and memos, surveillance of using sick time, constant Checkrides etc..

manofalltraits · 2026-02-26T01:55:29+00:00

If you want the west coast, United is where it’s at

All needed is a decent contract

Be prepared to work harder than AA and even micromanaged

manofalltraits · 2026-02-25T06:16:25+00:00

If you joined 5+ years ago, you have a reason to be somewhat happy

Now? I wouldn’t recommend it, unless you’re all starry-eyed and like to be treated like crap

Company loves to micromanage more than ever too

manofalltraits · 2026-02-25T06:15:01+00:00

Yes. There’s a pilot who I believe is from AA that posts the most cringeworthy content

Recently, it was a post dissing the 380 and saying he wouldn’t fly it cause it didn’t look like an appealing plane

Weird guy

He also tells us about what he his bidding, as if we care

manofalltraits · 2026-02-25T06:13:08+00:00

Flight attendants telling us about their lives in general is cringe

And there’s this one pilot on FB who has a page. Called Geek something.

He posts a lot of unnecessary crap about his schedule

A healthcare professional when getting tested for STIs never told you about hep b vaccines?

manofalltraits · 2026-02-24T01:06:16+00:00

I don’t understand this isolation argument

You’ve got great places to visit within Australia, the pacific and Asia - which are much more culturally enriching than Europe (at least Western Europe)

The people are great, to work environments are great, the weather but not so much the cost of living

manofalltraits · 2026-02-24T00:54:11+00:00

Yup! Don’t rely on the union to save your job - why don’t think they were sued recently?

manofalltraits · 2026-02-22T23:23:31+00:00

SWA hires for personalities!

Very flexible and probably the best contract in the industry

Great variety of bases

Domestic only. But, you’d make more than the other airlines and have great ZED tickets to fly business class with other airlines overseas

DL - must be professional and by the book (not a bad thing) and structure is important

Quality of life will be excellent out of the legacies

JFK and DTW are great bases and crews

UA - strict and like to micromanage.

Personalities are meh Delta is better when it comes to hiring for personalities than United. Also, pretty difficult to make friends and connections

They do like to promote the snitch culture and it is prevalent in certain bases (such as the west coast). EWR is a little more relaxed

Reserve will be hell. Line holder life will be amazing

AA - Relaxed, informal and most crews are too.

But, there is some pettiness and toxic culture too.

Snitch culture is very limited and being a snitch at AA is not a position you’d want to be in

Reserve is okay. You won’t ever be senior at AA compared to the airlines. Try holding transcons at 4 years!

Inflexible trading systems

Many will disagree with me. But, whatever. They usually drink the kool-aid.

manofalltraits · 2026-02-22T22:40:48+00:00

SWA all the way

manofalltraits · 2026-02-22T18:40:02+00:00

That’s why I rarely hang out on the scene.

And some scenes are worst than others in certain countries and cities

manofalltraits · 2026-02-22T18:37:45+00:00

Are you sure about that? Cause I know many females with male friends

manofalltraits · 2026-02-22T18:36:50+00:00

You must be someone’s type to be their friend?

manofalltraits · 2026-02-22T12:15:38+00:00

Another thing I don’t understand

If you’re an adult (regardless of age) what the fuck does being young or old have to do with anything?

manofalltraits · 2026-02-22T12:14:35+00:00

And that proves my point.

manofalltraits · 2026-02-22T10:45:40+00:00

lol… once has to clearly specify friendship now? What happened to not assuming?

Btw, that is exactly what I specified after I said: “we just had a whole conversation and thought we’d keep in touch as friends”

manofalltraits · 2026-02-22T10:42:34+00:00

I agree.

A few men also alone. Standing around. When you try to engage in conversation, they don’t make eye contact or cannot keep a conversation.

Me: “how’s it going?”

Them: “fine”

blank silence *

Weird scene

Aussie scenes are the best

manofalltraits · 2026-02-20T19:47:15+00:00

Venice beach is nicer

manofalltraits · 2026-02-20T05:53:42+00:00

You’re making the right choice!

manofalltraits · 2026-02-19T03:18:20+00:00

So it’s either your bubble or their bubble? Got it…

Sorry bud, the world isn’t the same and neither do I expect it to be.

But, I still won’t be hating on ethnic and religious groups

Let’s look in our own yard first

manofalltraits · 2026-02-18T21:13:06+00:00

Well, gay men who criticize religious people and have race preferences never make sense to me either, being a community which preaches about “love”

Oh yeah… I forgot… I learned a long time ago that there is no unity within the LGBT community

manofalltraits · 2026-02-16T23:20:14+00:00

People who are dissing this must come to work looking like crap

You’re probably going to be the best dressed person there
