Unwritten Rules Every Flight Attendant Should Know

There's nothing worse than boarding a new aircraft and finding the galley left in shambles by the previous crew. We spend plenty of time on this show discussing passenger etiquette, so this week we are turning the mirror on flight attendants and breaking down the unwritten rules of the galley, aka the office, the kitchen, the break room, the storage closet, etc., that also happens to sometimes be the only sane corner of the airplane.

From wet counters and unlatched carts to hoarded ice mallets, a mysterious abundance of hand soap, and a heated debate over who actually answers the call bell, we’ll talk and laugh about what every crew member should be doing (and what flight attendants are all quietly guilty of).
