Overstress, of course I agree with you that someone with a year's experience would be able to take charge. The problem we have is not whether they could, but whether they would.
I have flown with many crew of late who've all said that unless they are paid a Purser's salary, they would refuse to take charge.
As for stepping up that's what I do anyway, Overstress.
I am a SCCM.
Pilot's offering advice, are they going to help organise the crew in Eurotaveller when the CSD is dealing with all the IFE, meal and seating problems with 72 club passengers.
Are you a BA Pilot be any chance with experience on these flights? No offence intended.
