I can't confirm the "dozen", but I can confirm one other instance. It was a specific threat against me. It was written. I reported it through the "proper channels" i.e. to the CAA, to Security, to fleet management, but not to the police or (although sorely tempted) the Press.
The result was............ I have absolutely no idea!
There was an brief telephone acknowledgement from the Fleet Office and another from Security then.....never heard another thing about it.
The problem, it seemed to me, was that Cabin Crew Management were too powerful and Flight Crew Management too pathetic to impress upon all cabin crew the stupidity and the criminality of even thinking of doing such a thing. The CAA once again "regulated with a light touch" (!!)
I see absolutely nothing has changed.
