This event seems to have opened up a wound which is possibly far deeper than the intial post would have people assume. There seems to be a deep seated and general dislike of cabin crew appearing in the posts which I don't come across when working online, maybe it all goes over my head, I hope not, I hope people can be frank and honest with me.
I hope I have been as courteous and hard working as possible to all the staff I have come into contact with in the last 5 years and resent the generalisations which have been posted on this forum about us all being money grubbing time wasters who wouldn't know a hard days work if it bit them.
I have met ignorant self opinionated and greedy people from all walks of life but have never been able to ascribe these character traits to one single profession and neither can anybody here.
I still love the job and will do it to the best of my ability, I will also never turn money away that is offered me.
Neither should anyone else.
