Poor Cabin Crew

[flapsforty]

Mr tewkesbury, you write that your whinge is not about cabincrew but about the broader picture of a reduction in Maintenance Standards on aircraft. A worthy concern, and one which all of us in the industry most decidedly share with you if such a reduction can be proven to exist. Is there anything substantial you would like to share with us here? Some proof, something you see happening daily? I would be very interested to hear from you on that. As you so rightly point out, proper maintance is a matter of the gravest concern for all of us. self centred cabin crew or not.

Sharing your concern the way I do, and not doubting your motives for a second, I am somewhat mystified that you should voice your concern on the Cabin Crew forum. Since, according to your good self, your whinge is not about Cabincrew why have you chosen to unburden yourself on this particular foum? Would not your very valid concern for a percieved dropping of maintenance standards have reached a larger and more useful audience on a more widely read PPRuNe forum?
What exactly lead you to our humble Cabin crew forum if I may ask?

Oh and about ever disilusioned ; I do so sympathise.
Again a trend shared by many of us in the industry.
Small example; the company whose uniform I have proudly worn for most of my working life has just been sold wing, flap and rivet to the mob that employs Flyblue.
Am I disillusioned?
You bet!
Do I blame the folks at the cleverly run company that bought us or do I blame our own weaselfaced top management?

Mr tewkesbury, you only get one guess.
