    Suppose there was just ... no more TikTok. Wouldn't that be a spectacular miracle?

    I’m a flight attendant for a legacy airline. What you say is true.

    But, I would like to take a moment, while we are on this topic, to express my utter dismay at what happened to Senator Romney on his flight to DCA.

    If I had been a flight attendant on that plane, I would have never allowed that chanting. First and foremost, it’s a safety issue. I would have informed the pax that pilots and flight attendants need to be able to communicate with each other and the passengers over the PA system.

    I would keep the schoolyard comment I was thinking to myself.

    I would also inform my pax that our airline employees span the globe, different nationalities, cultures, points of view, and we treat each other with dignity and respect. Hence, we expect our pax to treat each other the same way while they are on our aircraft.

    Then, while we were still on the ground, I would give all pax the opportunity to exit the aircraft if they felt they could not abide by these instructions. If they remained, it meant they were agreeing to the terms of service.

    If any pax chose, after this point, to disregard these instructions, I would have to inform the Captain, and there could be repercussions once we landed.

    Quite frankly, I do not want to type reports after I land. I have no desire to go there. I doubt you want to go there, either.

    I would have then, at some point, discreetly let Senator Romney know he could remain on the aircraft with us until security arrived to escort him off the plane.

    That’s my job. That’s what I do.
