Thanks,
Hapzim, that was all we used to ask, make yourself appear non Crew, as easy as a plain jumper..............
As pax, you are not in the total loop, yet the other pax will relate to your 'commands' if in uniform. Imagine if you will, a 'four stripe' Captain barking orders, or the Purser, who will the pax follow.............Even though it will always be for the 'best reasons'.
It is all about the passenger perception. Even in civvie atire, your training will make you take charge if required.
BTW, a flag carrier I used to work for, by all accounts, had 'service crew' not safety trained on any a/c type, but in the co. uniform.............dangerous.
Uniform = respect and following in times of panic.
