Very sorry if i offended you with the comment of trolley dolly, i meant FLIGHT ATTENDANT, very easy mistake to make. . .After listening to some of the past comments laid down by you and your colleagues, im afraid you seem to put yourselves up on this pedestal , and i cant really understand why.. .Everybody plays a role in this but by the way you talk if it werent for the likes of yourselves how could we possibly run an airline.. .With regards to training i stated that you had to go through about 6 weeks of training, please do correct me if im wrong. . .My job envolves fixing planes , my initial training takes 3 years because it is such a specialized job, once this time period is up i am considered an engineer and the industry will then issue approvals on the strength of qualifications and training that i complete.. .The irony is, when you look at the likes of myself and F/O's, some how the industry has the nerve to pay a purser or CSD (whatever your called) a considerable amount more money to yourselves rather than the people that make the effort to get off their arses and gain these qualifications. if id realised i could earn some of the sums of money you are earning i would never have bothered with college, apprenticeship,licences, etc, i would have gone straight to the airlines and asked for a job serving people tea and coffee.. .it aint rocket science if you know what i mean.. .very easy to replace cabin crew, not so easy to replace engineers and flight crew, you should remember that. <img src="tongue.gif" border="0"> <img src="tongue.gif" border="0"> <img src="tongue.gif" border="0"> <img src="tongue.gif" border="0"> <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">
it is the people like you and monitz suter that dont help the airlines and their image, you need to climb out of your ivory tower and appreciate that this industry works as a team. you are no better than the rest of us, bare that in mind next time you talk down to the engineers or flight crew like idiots.. We can make your life harder than you can make ours.
