Sorry to have to have a go at your lass!
I'm sure you are well aware of what's actually involved on board. Maybe you'd explain it to her!
Naive and defensive. Definately not the best atributes for an F/A.
Once the self loading freight is on board, you are responsible for their safety. You're not just there to serve tea and coffee.
It's a position of responsibility. You are a paramedic, security officer, fireman etc. All rolled into one.
Even in the UK, it's extremely difficult to get a job on most airlines. Like Qantas, BA and VAA are amongst the toughest in the world. Don't know too much about the charter and minor carriers.
