Who follow the rules of our company and [act] with understanding of our job.”But, she doesn’t like “destructive” passengers who think they know the job better than she does.With that in mind, her main recommendation for passengers is never to ask the crew for water.She explained: “Number one – don’t push the call button for asking for a cup of water because our job is hard!”We’d recommend heading to the galley to ask instead so long as the seatbelt sign is switched off.
