alcoflyer, sounds like a good idea to me. The more we know about each others job functions, that's when 'teamwork' will really start to kick in. But why should it be just senior c/a's? and as I said earlier, why should it stay on the aircraft?. I know of many Flight Attendants who would enjoy a couple of days on the ground and those who have(due injuries preventing them from flying) say it was worth every minute, as they can now answer 90% of passenger queries on the ground, rather than passing it on to a Ground Staff member. Vice versa, send Ground Staff to the Sim, FA's Emergency Reval, so they can see that it's not just a case of 'knowing where the Auto Pilot switch is', or 'how to turn on the coffee brewer'.
Hey, maybe even Management could join us!!. How enlightening would that be...FOR THEM?.
