Dolly,

I think you'll find we work for exactly the same people, and I'm more than familiar with the alleged state of affairs with regard to turnarounds, and it's quite frankly a gross distortion of reality. Most of our flights run early, or on time, only a small percentage are delayed, and the majority of those delayed only a few minutes. I'm frankly sick to death with all the whining from crews - flight and cabin - and especially from the likes of tiggeriffic who expects to have it both ways. As a crew member, she wants to be able to take unscheduled breaks because she thinks she's being worked too hard and doesn't want pax at the aircraft until she's ready, yet as a pax, she expects to be able to board the aircraft when it suits her and boarding delays are unacceptable.


The vast majority of people in the company enjoy the job and just get on with it. If you don't, well nobody is holding a gun to your head to make you stay. You know where the door is and you're free to leave at any time.
