xtc – you reckon you know your stuff – but you don’t listen to the briefings and so are probably not a cued up as you think. You state you are bored, therefore, that means that you don’t take in the briefing. No doubt the pax are bored with your safety briefings because you find repetitive stuff boring and it will show.
Do you know your stuff? Just how well would you score against Xenia and Flaps?
You claim not to start insults and yet you make a gratuitously offensive posting against flaps. Would everyone were at the level that Flaps is! You can bet your bottom dollar on flaps not only being what Xenia says, but also very good at her job (as is Xenia), therefore it might be wise to listen to those who have been in the business considerably longer than yourself.
It is beholden upon everyone of us who fly to have sound knowledge of safety and emergency, but how can you claim to have that if you don’t listen properly.
Are you sure that your fellow crew are equally as confident in your ability to deal with any situations. You seem to have a ‘them and us mentality’, not good when purporting to be part of a team.
Have you given a thought to why the briefings to you are mundane and basic, could it be perhaps you are not quite the star you claim.
