I don't want to start any inter-rank bitching here, but I feel as if us seniors are being tarred with the same brush here.
As for LGW WW many Psrs & CSDs have noticed that standards on the fleet have noticably dropped since the large influx of ex-Eurofleet crew....main areas of concern;
- constant flouting of uniform standards
- questioning of senior crew decisions, esp where rest is concerned...I was recently asked how long a rest we were getting in the bunks on a Lagos 5 hr55 flight time!!!
- cutting corners where the service was concerned...can't remember the last time that I wasn't whinged at when I asked crew to do a mid flight bar round.
Whilst I don't want to tar all main crew with the same brush I can assure you Irishflyer that my job has certainly become a lot more stressful during the last couple of years.
One last comment now directed at a small minority of main crew concerning the old vs new contract.....I can't believe I still hear moans on the subject....just remember many of us oldies fought against this a few years ago & what resulted was the best of a bad deal for everyone....at the end of the day why sign the contract if you don't agree with it???
