Cabin Crew's Day-to-Day Whining - WHINE ONE

Sometimes the saying is true....Empty vessels make the most noise....

People try every way to upgrade themselves to another cabin....

But the most common replies you get from these passengers are "Check the list to see who I am" or "I know the Sheikh"
I don't care who the H*LL you are....cabin crew is not allowed to upgrade....or not we will be in deep S*%$ (ie demotion)...is that so hard to understand???

In the same flight...you have 2 First Class Passengers : THe ruling family of Bahrain : the Khalifas we call them....

Situation : Our flight was delayed. All pax in the aircraft. Doors closed.
One of the Khalifas asked the crew... Is it ok for me to use the mobile to tell my family the flight is delayed??

So isn't the saying true??
