Flight Attendants Feared 'Devilish' Image, Were Fired
The underside of a 747 jumbo jet's tail was coated in oil residue, and in it, someone had written the words "BYE BYE" and drawn two faces—one smiling, one with more of a "devilish" look. If you'd be reluctant to board that plane, well, you're not alone.

There are planes flying all over the US right now with things "written" in the dirt or oil on parts of the planes. As a ramp agent I've seen tons of things written on landing gear, engine cowlings, and inside cargo bins. I'm sorry but the flight attendants overreacted. Just because we are in a security sensitive industry doesn't mean we can cancel a flight every time some airport employee or flight crew writes in the dust.
I have to agree. It was unusual to complete a three or four day trip and not see something written in the grime on the underside of the jet on at least one preflight. You could tell the mood of the employee groups by what was written.
They thought their union would protect them?
