Oh, how sad I feel now about this. I was asked earlier this year if I would like to get involved in the cabin crew CRM course at Cranebank and gave it some consideration. The trainers training course happened to be on a weekend when I had other plans so I passed it up. The lady at BA who asked me this said they were crying out for pilots to get involved but there just weren't enough interested. So if the problem occurs at an initial training stage it seems we only have ourselves to blame.
Later this week I'm going to scuttle on down there and volunteer. Mind you, at 4.5hrs NCP it beats doing a morning MAN shuttle. And you can do the course as many or as few times a month as you want. Most do 2 days every other month.
There are 3500 of us at BA. We must be able to rustle up a few trainers. So come on, lets see a show of hands. (The lady has a desk just inside the big office on the left past the Flight Crew Admin Centre, I forget her name)
