I did one of said flights yesterday too, and with 4 crew its easy as pie but with 3 crew. one down the back looking after 130 odd people its gonna be interesting. We did have one gash at both ends of the aircraft on a 500 but a total of 6 bars one of which was totally full of water, which we didnt even use as we decided to pour water and juice. Those juice boxes are just embarrasing to give out
Our unions have been very quiet over this whole thing, not a single thing from the union i'm a part of dunno about the other one.
Well I have 3 long flights next week one which is always busy and demanding so i'll be interested to see how we cope with one crew member less...
