Ice Tongs.... I'm sure VB didnt cancel the flight just to spoil your interview.

No airline likes to cancel flights!! As with most cancellations, it would have been a last minute thing.... or else they would have contacted you. Dont take it personally, and just be happy QFLink is granting you another interview, a lot wouldnt !!

Sonique, Next Gen PSR et al;

Please dont go around bagging other airlines' crew because you dont like their procedures !! As with us at QF, the guys at AN and all crew at other airlines, the Virgin f/a's are just following what their company is telling them to do. So their procedures may be different to what we are used to in domestic aviation in Australia.... but hey, what we do at QF longhaul would seem odd to LH or EK crew!!

These are guys and gals doing the same safety job as any other cabin crew, and I'm sure they would be as good in an emergency as all cabin crew are - and thats all that counts.

Making personal comments about the intelligence and appearance of their crew is about as low you can get. How many VB crew do you know to back up you claims in these areas? At Qantas we have hired over 20 of their crew in recent times, I have had the pleasure of training two of them. As well as being exceedingly attractive, both were intelligent, funny, friendly and above all professional !! They are two of the best cabin crew I have seen.

Sorry, dont know any of you, but this forum is not about putting other people down just based on the procedures of the airline they work for.... one thing you should all know by now is that most people who want a career as a flight attendant will do anything to get the job, and work under any conditions as cabin crew until something better comes along. And hey, they gotta put up with being made a clown by their company?? If they're willing to do it then who are you to judge.... most of the VB crew who apply to QF seem to get in, so who's stupid???!!!
