Anyone who think that Moscow airport is a safe place is crazy. For a young woman alone too? Madness!! Would you want your girlfrien or wife, sister, daughter left like this? Moscow is a major crime city for God sake!
Yes, bad planning by the company. Dont blame the FA as crew are sent to the these places all the time without visa. The company is ment to get on the spot visa for them. Again our wonderful company drop the ball. A better example was set by other captains before. One told the company to file a plan somewhere else they could all sleep somewhere safe and flew his crew away. The other decided that the whole crew could sleep on the aircraft. Why not this time? We are talking about a luxury aircraft that is good enough for the rich to sleep on so why not.
I know first officers and FA who would call in sick before they fly with him. I hope I never have to work with him. To the FA I can only say sorry on behalf of your coleagues. None of us are happy with this.
