In my opinion, the occasional conflict or lack of understanding boils down to certain individuals who hail from the eastern med.. They poison, taint and obscure all with which they come in contact. It starts from day one of CC training with the not so subtle jabs at aircrew and continues on a daily basis throughout each flight and layover.
I have recently made it a point to never partake of extracuricular activities if one of these low-lifes is present. Shockingly......... NOT......... the layovers have now become a joy and good time.
My latest was a fantastic pairing where we were visited frequently by the crew, had great layovers and generally respected each other. Its amazing how nice, friendly, funny and intelligent CC can be when not being coerced and harassed by these individuals. Coincidentally not one of these smarmy bastards was on the crew (amazing but true)
Someone mentioned earlier the fear of being labelled a cockpit floozy. What a ridiculous and absurd concept, promoted and embellished by these same slimey, loud mouth, obnoxious men. When will EK learn that a 5% demographic of these idiots .... is 5% too high.
And they stay here forever!!!. Harassing and abusing each new course of CC, as is their 'right' as seniors and pursers.
Never met a more despicable nationality of human beings in my entire life. And this is not a generalization, it is 98% valid.
Don't go crying racist to me, it took me far too long to accept the reality of these people, as i tend towards not generalizing.
Smiling assasins, nice to your face, slag you behind your back at the first opportunity.
The best thing EK could ever do with respect to crew harmony, service and general moral of this company, is to fire each and every one of them tomorrow.
