As the Inquis buddy says its our GASOs that drive the decision. Rank kinda goes out the window in AKT for us NCA(gasp)
and JRs(bigger gasp)
cos we all end up accom'd together for a number of reasons. Namely we must be in quiet/air con'd if poss-most JR transit blocks wouldn't do that for our cabin crew. Hence we all end up-if there is available space-on base, in the block 100 ish series because they are deemed the best/quietest/coolest blocks for transit. There is also a duty of care issue for the a/c Capt-eg if he had a solitary female 18yo SAC svc or AS. This accom is fine for O's & SNCOs because of the prox of the mess but the JRs have to walk-no MT avail for transit JRs-round trip of nearly 2 miles-to eat.
If AKT can't supply that then its F95
and find somewhere more suitable. We dont make the rules and at the end of the day a 2 pax crew can be more easily accom'd than 10-17pax crew. Know it must stick in a few throats seeing this happening. End of the day the most junior Air Steward is on the same crew duty and rest rules as the a/c Capt. Oh and the same FSI!
