WCF,
To follow up on Xenia's and HugMonster's suggestions, may I suggest that you read the profiles of the various contributors?
You asked explicitly what other cabin crew thought of this matter. Xenia, Airbabe, NG PSR, Flyblue and I are all cabin crew, and each of us has gone trhough the trouble of trying to help you out by supplying you with information on how we do things, both as individuals and according to our company procedures.
On top of that, West030 and HugMonster, both pilots, took the time to let you know their thoughts on the matter.
You shrug off our contributions, as they apparently are not what you wished to hear. To me that seems rather churlish and counter-productive.
But hey Girl, suit yourself and sulk, just remember that you're antagonizing a group of friendly and potentially helpful people here.
Your loss....................
