You nailed it in alot of areas. I plan on getting banned (but not for a long time cuz this board's moderation sucks) so I am gonna speak my mind.
You mention threats of terrorism, passenger rage, worries about job security, the "you owe me" mentality of people who think buying a ticket entitles them to abuse the help, and the current economic situation make working for an airline a scary proposition.
Not many people's jobs entail this. People think we're power hungry but it is just the opposite. If we don't follow the rules set by the almight company, we risk being fired. So some ******* showing up 25 minutes before an international departure who doesn't get on or some whiner who can't preboard ranks pretty damn low in the scheme of things. I've got 3 kids and a wife to feed. I've got a mortgage and car payment. I have a real life just like the rest of you jerks. Follow the rules, or don't. And when you don't, quit crying about how you were jerked with.
Enough is enough. I'm done with this board just like I quit working for the piece of crap airline I worked for.
