Well, that's a real lowering of status if I ever I saw it!

It makes life easy for these PC pen-pushers if 11 "crewmembers" are on a flying machine; when does it get down to the nitty-gritty and these PC buggers recognise the "technical crew" apart from the cabin crew? Just in the pay packet egh.
I suppose airlines in the USA give CC a full set of wings too now, and 2/3/4 rings around the sleeves of their tunics!

It follows then CEO of a Fortune 500 company is just a little member of staff egh!

Take care
