Regional flight attendant here. Invest in a hard case cause that baby is going under. I have this discussion often. I get why you wouldn't want your guitar under with the rest of the bags, I've seen the videos and heard the stories. Doesn't change the fact that it physically won't fit in the overhead and it's too big to go under your seat. If you're lucky the flight won't be full and you might get an empty seat next to you to strap it in. The only sure for way is to purchase a seat specifically for your guitar. A lot of professional musicians do this.

Straight male flight attendant here too. Took about a year to convince co-workers I'm not gay. I asked if I came off as gay or gave out that vibe and they all said no, it's just unusual for guys to be straight in this field.

Regional flight attendant here, company policy states we have to decline tips once but if they insist we can accept. That's why we'll usually half ass a no thank you hoping for you to insist.

Also the person below who said they go buy candy before the flight has it right too. Give us candy I'll give you free drinks.

I tell people You have to go where people don't want to go during the time no one wants go be there.

Nope. Straight male flight attendant here. I will say most are gay but not all.
