If as an SO2 you gave an airman a job and he failed to do it would you take further action?
But who gives the PRO the job? Is it someone in his chain of command? Does he have command responsibility over the passengers, including those senior to him?

If he does an immaculate job, who knows, worse, who cares?

The job is dished out like a lottery to the person who moves slowest. It has no status attached like priority boarding or disembarking it is, in short, quite rightly perceived as a chore.

Why not do the job properly? Dispense with air steward and nominate 10 squaddies to wear oinnies and run up and down the aircraft - supervised of course.

Let's get rid of baggae handlers, there should be enough fit and able bodied on each flight.

No, instead of having a single joed PRO issue invididual comment forms. Can you imagine Thomas Cook pulling Joe Bloggs out of the queue at Gatwick and telling him he is responsible for collecting complaints from all the other holiday makers?

You get what you pay for and you don't pay a PRO who might have spent 6 months overseas doing G*d knows what and only wants to get home, no bull.
