I fly Alaska Air into and out of Seattle several times a year. I was going to let this go but I have noticed others complaining too.
On a return flight out of Seattle I was met with a very rude flight attendant named "Billie". She would not let me put my carry-on under the seat. She insisted that I put it overhead. I never put anything overhead because I'm disabled and cannot lift it over my head without a lot of pain. I told her it always goes under the seat and she said "not on my flight". She said "that is the reason we have checked baggage." She made me lift it overhead anyway.
Next she wouldn't let my sister put her bag overhead. "Billie" grabbed it and moved it to the overhead several rows behind us and said she could just wait until everyone else was off the plane and then she could retrieve it. Another attendent retrieved it and moved it to first class for easier exit.
She must have been having a really bad day because shortly after that she was rude to the young man sitting next to me also. He had placed his ear phones in front of him in the little magazine area. She seemed very angry and almost yelled at the young man to not let the little wire hang out.
Thank goodness she spent the rest of the flight in the rear of the plane. Alaska needs to get rid of people with attitudes. I have always flown Alaska and all of the other attendents are absolute dreams. "Billie" was a first and I hope the last rude person.
