NICE1,
We all reralize that crewing dptmts as a rule are not nasty on purpose. But it does make a big difference being asked nicely, or being barked at!
Something our crewing often gets wrong, is telling us where we'll actually be spending our days in between flying. They qoute the end of the flight instead of the slip station. Which is why a colleague just spent a week in snowy Sapporo with a suitcase full of clothes for sunny Singapore.
Our crewing is also responsible for calling the home front when we're delayed getting back. They hardly ever get it right, which is pretty upsetting.
So in answer to your question; ask me nicely and give me the correct info. Then we'll get along just fine!
