Aaaaaaaaand there it is!
I, for one, have always awe myself at the work ethics of the cc corps in any of the many different airlines I have flown. Quick turn arounds, longer duties than flight crew, heavier monthly rosters than flight crew, their preflight briefing covers so much more memory stuff than ours, they go about their unbelievable amount of checks, procedures and paperworks flawlessly, with spirit, and delivering a smile to hundreds of customers per day. Oh, AND THEY FEED US THE SECOND WE ASK THEM.
I think assuming that because a pilot is above a cc in the chain of command (the one in the OM, not the actual one that happens in the airplane! 🤣
a pilot knows everthing a cc does is having no clew whatsoever of what their job is.
Stepping off the pedestal once in a while is a healthy habit.
