Flight attendants have revealed the codename they claim they use when a passenger has riled them up
Flight attendants are known to speak in a second language to communicate with each other without passengers being able to listen in. For example, if a staff member likes the look of a certain flyer, they might use the term 'Bob' - code for 'best on board'.
However, it turns out flight attendants also have a code name for passengers they're not so fond of, reports the Mirror. TikTok travel account The Points Guy asked an anonymous group of flight attendants what acronyms they have curated to berate annoying customers. "If someone refers to you as a 'Philip' - watch out," the video states.According to the Sun, this checks out. "If you're labeled a 'Philip' then you've done something wrong and should probably expect to get bad service for the rest of the flight," a flight attendant told the paper.
"That name originated from the term PILP - Passenger I'd Like to Punch - but has changed over time to become slightly more subtle."However, many viewers flocked to the comments section doubting the codename, arguing they've never heard of 'Philip' being used. "I've been a flight attendant for 29 years and I've never heard any of these terms," one user claimed.While a third added: "Been flying for 16 years. Never heard any of these terms.
