We flew from YYZ to EWR, and the flight attendant came over to my wife and asked her, "Are you the mother of these kids?" (5 of them). My wife thought to herself, "Uh-oh, what did we do wrong now?" but he continued how he has been an FA for 17 years and how most people just treat him like part of the woodwork, and the only way he exists is if they need his help getting luggage into the bin. He said that it is only the orthodox Jewish kids who say hello to him and good evening etc. and treat him like a person. He ended up bringing my kids to the cockpit after .
