I thought I wrote that I was referring specifically to my time in HV, I see that 2 sentences are missing... my trolling skills are very bad!
Not sure about now but at that time we were coming across the KLM crew at a regular basis, at security, at the gate, when flying back home after duty etc.
Listen this is my experience, you cannot erase it. I suffered a lot there, my family too.
Not everyone is made for this openness, its just a reality. There are still some nice people that are open to different nationalities, cultures and colors.
I remember when some of you said that the Dutch language helps with CRM with the crew and passengers.
Can anyone explain why than the KLM cargo first officer position requires to know/learn dutch? No pax, No crew apart from the pilots and the loadM.
I only worked few years for a cargo operator and I remember when flying out of AMS the loadcontrollers, loadmasters etc spoke perfect English.
Always the same, deny everything, make counter accusations.
