The cabin crew staff are responsible for feeding the passengers on board and keeping them entertained.
On rare occasions, the pilot will announce a short delay and in most cases, its not their fault.
Unfortunately for travellers, the flight attendants arent always able to tell them why theres a slight hold-up.
According to a Piedmont Airlines flight attendant, the cabin crew staff absolutely hate it when theyre being asked about the delay.

Flight attendant
The worker told Business Insider: “Dont ask me if the planes going to be late because of the delay, because I dont know.”
Although the staff are expected to remain calm at all time, this is one thing that does annoy them during their shift.
Former flight attendant, Elliot Hester, recalled some of the irritating questions he has been asked.
When he was at the airport departure gate, Hester was once asked by a couple whether they had time to buy a bagel.

Writing in his book “Plane Insanity”, he said: “Now heres my dilemma.
“If I say, No, I dont think you have time to buy a bagel or a newspaper or a souvenir for your kid, as Ive said to countless last-minute boarders in the past, he may respond – as some of those last-minute boarders have – as if I have a personal vendetta.
“You, a lowly flight attendant are telling me that I dont have time to get a bagel? (This makes me wonder why they bother to ask in the first place).
“If I say, Yes, you have time, but hurry, and the passenger returns to find that the plane has departed without him, hell want to sue the airline. Or at least, hell demand a first-class upgrade.”
But thats not the only question that angers Hester at times.
