being CC is not a skilled job
Being CC
is a skilled job. If some airlines prefer to hire unskilled people and maintain them in that condition it's their choice. It's a time bomb where safety is concerned. But don't doubt pax still can tell the difference between someone thrown on an aircraft after a 3 weeks course and a CC with language skills, experience and various courses on the different aspects of the profession paid for by the airline. When I joined my current employer I was told I'd get a permanent contract because they were investing in my professionnality, since they were putting money into my professional education and didn't want to lose their investment by losing me. Good skilled CC still can make a difference, and good airlines know that. We are the ones that most of the time will be remembered as the airline representatives.
