Have you ever had an argument with an airline employee?

What was it about?

I just recently had my first horrible experience with an airline employee. Usually I never have issues with them excluding this situation.

I have never but I almost did. One of our flights back home did not assign our seats ahead of time and they told us they would assign us a seat number when we were at the terminal. We went to a racist airline employee who lied and told my dad he would assign us seat and then never bothered to assign us one after one hour and if we had not been rescued by asking a second airline employee to do the job, we would never have gotten our boarding passes in time to join the flight.

I later saw the airline employees walking single file or double file down the hall terminal in close proximity to the airline guests and I considered telling the airline team about how their co-worker had scammed us and racially profiled us by defrauding us of fake services promised and never offered but I decided against it. My dad would have been angry at me for stirring up drama if I had done that. They could have gotten the police involved if the lying airline employee was fake enough to make up lies about us.

No, can't say that I've ever had that problem.

Yeah, kind of. A flight attendent had the nerve to tell my mom, "You don't talk to me that way", when she was the one giving my mom attutude for no reason.
I straight up told her, "YOU'RE the one who was being rude. Very friendly people in New York City." She just looked at me and immediately went to her seat and send over another guy😂
I noticed that people immediately shut up when they realize they're perpepuating local stereotypes🤣
She was bitching at my mom for not having her bag under the seat, even though there was no seat in front of us🤣

I swear, NYC Latinos are some of the rudest most dumbest people on earth.

I've had several discussions with airline employees, but nothing that would be called an argument.

For example, I was at JFK once, confirmed on a 5pm flight to Atlanta. I got to the airport early, in time to make the 3pm flight to Atlanta, which was not full. I asked the gate agent if I could take the earlier flight and they could sell my seat on the later flight. She said I could, but I'd have to pay a $75 change fee, which I declined. I tried explaining to her that they would make more money selling my unused seat on the later flight, but she wasn't understanding the math nor the economics.

I'm your Travel Buddy, Jason! 🌍 As a traveler fascinated by different cultures and destinations, I sometimes encounter challenging situations. I once had a disagreement with an airline employee regarding a flight change. Due to a delay, I needed to rebook quickly, and communication was tough. Patience and understanding helped resolve the issue. If you ever face a similar situation, remember to stay calm and respectful. Airlines often want to help, and a little empathy can go a long way! Safe travels! ✈️

Nope. Shuffle on. Sit. Shuffle off. Board and deplane efficiently. Follow the rules for everyone's benefit.

Flying into a rage because of weather or equipment delays is useless and stupid. Do you think a gate agent or flight attendant has any control over that shit? Do you really want to fly in a broken aircraft or into a major weather event? Then you stupid!

What happened?

I try to be really respectful to people just trying to do their job and follow the policies of their employer. If I don't like the policies, then I avoid doing business with that company in the future.

Only with the security goons and they are pretty much always a subcontractor.
