Magnetic boots - FUNNY. As this is an issue I have grappled with since day one at
VB, I like to joke that we recieve a day of training from Spiderman on how to cling to floors and walls. Unfortunately I ahve ended up on the floor twice - once with negative results.
Again I agree if pax are seated, we should be seated. I like the idea of different PAs. I always think its funny that someone will need to use the toilet when the SB sign is on - and we are meant
to get them seated, but there we are as crew, standing up with 10ton carts out and hot liquids a-flowin'. If I were a pax I think my idea would be 'yea right, whatever - outta my way I gotta wee'.
Most CC use a bit of common sense in this regard, but there are few who are unable to think outside whats written (or not in this case) and those are the ones that will get hurt.
I don't think
VB is being intentionally negligent, its just with the way the company outgrew itself so quickly, many of these issues have gone unchanged (I could give you list!). Sometimes I wonder if it takes a major injury before a change is made.
And just on a personal/political note - I have zero faith in CASA to give a crap about this or most other issues. FYI there are a few ex-
VB/QF employees at CASA, one of which (ex-
VB) is rather high up in the ranks. Need I say more.
