What can i say maude charlee? i wont comment as to whether your wrong but i defenately wont correct you either if you know what i mean.
Thanks everyone for your replys, i have spoken to other crew about this also and have been told that this is common in this particular airline as many other people have experienced the same problem. I did feel like making a complaint but wasnt sure if i was in the right or overreacting as i said in my previous post.
I dont remember if they did a head count but you are right tudor when you say its easy to make a mistake plus someone could hide themsleves easily not to be counted, and if there numbers didnt tally they would have to count again, then again perhaps to be sure, when all the time this is delaying take off. Surely this is not cost effective to such a low budget airline. I think its a primitive way of doing things. Incidentally the same thing happened on the way back.
