Typical passenger mentality, it’s like when you turn up late and you don’t get accepted, I suppose that’s the airline’s fault too? If there’s a weather delay and the destination is fogged out, that’s the airline’s fault too right? The list goes on 🙂

In answer to your apparent superior attitude, I quote above your original dismissive post. Clearly a complete and utter generalisation, which is indeed typical of the aloof crew that reluctantly step into the pax. area, with a face like they’ve put their finger through the toilet paper. If I generalised, it is only in response to the same.

As for who I am, superior in status and earning considerably more money than a Commercial pilot (I don’t know what mil. pilots earn), and that’s all that matters.

So, on topic, if we lose a bag, do we go to the Airline to complain or to the Baggage handlers canteen? Airline of course. If the on board food is bad, do we blame the child labour that cooked and packed it or the airline that served it? Airline of course.
If the aeroplane caused the delay, it’s the Airline. If the Pilot caused the delay, it’s the Airline.
When French ATC can be blamed, they are of course blamed.
I have never heard of anybody blaming weather on the airline, although I can visualise it, given the level of education acceptable these days.

The Airline(s) are the only point of contact that is made available.

Lovely.

Stuff of this quality is harder and harder to find in the UK now. The real machine tools have been scrapped off and awful cheap far eastern rubbish fills the machine shops. The beds aren’t even Meanite.
The bench vice’s – likewise, so many places have gone bust and the metalwork left behind is melted for scrap. Some of it is auctioned, but they can’t be bothered dragging a 100lb vice to the auction to get 2 bucks for it. So they melt it.

Good, then you will realise that making a sweeping statement that all pax are likely to blame the airlines for things that are clearly nothing to do with the airlines was indeed the typical remark made by aloof crew members that assume all their pax know nothing about the aviation industry, and are indeed nothing more than talking baggage.

As for turning up late, that is only on the Pikey airlines that I wouldn’t bother with. I’ve seen those idiots on “Airport”.

No, not at all, that is a dumb comparison to make. The baggage is handed over in good faith at the Check in desk allocated by the airline. The fact that the baggage handler below stairs is on £4 per hour and doesn’t give a rats-ass about my bag is the problem of the collective airlines for allowing the management to employ such carefree employees in the first place. The original baggage handlers went on strike in the 1980’s and were subsequantly slowly replaced by lower paid contract staff. Oh how they were ridiculed for going on strike.

The Female of the Fin.
I take it she is “Somebody” rather than a just a picture of typical Hawaii totty?

The A330 looks fine with it.

My Brother is on GE SV, on his drive. Blurred face but anyone that knows him will recognise. My Brother-in-laws brother is also on! Again, recognisable if you know him. I am physically on the original GE, as I know my car (The only white one with a glass Sunroof), I know where I parked at that place of employment. I am sat on my bonnet leaning on windscreen, sunbathing (Clothed!) at lunchtime.
