Is it just me I wonder? but it does seem that on longhaul flights FA's do not seem to work as hard as they did in the old days.
I have been on flights (Air France especially) where after the dinner service has finished the whole crew seem to disappear for hours leaving the token one to walk through the cabin section making sure her charges are all asleep and behaving themselves whilst their mate sits in the galley reading a mag. Where did all the others go?
I know this will raise a few hackles but on a 13 hour flight I noticed that all the FA's only seemed to be about together for about five hours out of the 13.
Is this just an Air France thing or not? come to think about it Iberia do it as well. I would like to know how much rest period you are allowed on a longhaul flight?
Awaiting your responses.
