Fair enough. However, there is a difference between dealing with relatively wealthy people who are generally happy to be going on holiday etc and dealing with junkies and violent street robbers. Much as I appreciate the quality of SLF is getting poorer you do not have to have body armour, CS spray and a baton to deal with you're customers - thats easyjet!
We fight fires onboard the aircraft
You do not have to cut mangled people out of cars and the rest of the point has been made by CarnageM
We get paid more than nurses and have to endure dealing with heart attacks, strokes etc. etc. on aircraft all over the WORLD without the facilities available to them.
No violent, spitting drunks with stab wounds in Club I expect.

I really appreciate you saying this and you can see my thoughts on Crew above.
The basic point I was making though was that you will not get public support. Without this you will fail if you strike. I would suggest that the vast majority of the public do not think you perform the role of a police firefighting medical expert. Please do not think I am being critical. Its just an observation and I still enjoy flying with you boys and particularly you girls.
