SLF3
why should I be expected to put up with it?
You shouldn't! On my flights, positioning crew are served last, or in normal sequence. Not because I don't love them but because of the perceptions of other pax, precisely as you detail here. Seatbelt regs are enforced equally, although most crew that I know would never dream of treating their fellow pax and the working crew with such arrogance.
This kind of thing
s me off because it brings the rest of us into disrepute. I can't speak for BA (who seem to do their own thing in so many areas, and appear sometimes to have their own problems with their in-house culture) but I can only sing the same old song - the exception does not prove the rule.
I would have thought a letter might be appropriate.
