In general CRM is crap at CX. The Captains - although in genereal very knowledgeable - are put up on a pedestal. One to many CMDs have still not realized, mainly due to lack of ability and education from the company side, that civilavition is no longer a one mans show. Its still common to come across a long sleeved brit (at least on the -400) who thinks his god and that he is flying on the best F...... airplane in the world for the best F...... airline on the best F...... CoS - it might be the best F..... airplane (-400) in the world (and who cares about anything as materialistic as that?!) but boys I've got news (or maybe not!) - it AIN'T the best F...... airline in the world - what leaves us back to where "we" started.. Guys and Girls are LEAVING this outfit - for reasons that is oh so obvious - take a glance through this little "oasis" section - Fragrant Habour - it speaks for it self. The only other "airline" that seems to be pulling an equal amount of !!!! is Ryanair - and that is for other reasons than this one..
And right - I wonder if that dude who has the guts to hit on Americans (though I can find many other reasons to hit on you guys ;o) ) with pathetic arguments like "go fly your CRJ/F14 etc.." - shows the attitude within CX at its worst!
Im very happy for many of you/us that our industry once again are moving towards new hights - go for the greener grass - its is out there - trust me on that one. If you have the chance to stay "home" (and thats what you want) - do just that and wait for the bigger ones there to call you.
Good luck chaps and gals.
