Yes....I think we are all aware that the Commander is at the top of the food chain and carries overall responsibility for the aircraft, it's crew and passengers, but thank you for pointing that one out!

I hate to go back to "that old chestnut" but in comparison to other airlines such as Emirates or British Airways, our FSM's are paid appallingly. Yes, the Captain is in charge of the cabin but the FSM is ultimately the one that will make 95% of the decisions regarding pax and crew. The wages should reflect this responsibility, unfortunately they do not!

I didn't think we needed to make that any clearer!
