It's interesting to know I have a 'god' complex just because I'm on the Boeing!!!! Maybe they issued me one when I got the uniform, can't remember though, perhaps they gave it to me at the same time they gave 'gulfboy' his big spoon to start stirring it up. What a load of cobblers!!!
If you look on the thread he's talking about you will see some real wind up merchants (411A plus may others) that make 'gulfkid' look like an amateur!!
The only way flight crew and cabin crew will ever get on any better at EK is for us to mix better. At the moment the majority of crew that mix with Flight crew are the Pursers / SFS and FG1s - in essence the guys that have been here for more than 5 minutes, the GR1s have to mix on the 2 class config aircraft but you can tell they are not that confident, the more they do it the better!!
It's great to see GR2s making the effort to hike the length of the aircraft, plucking up courage usually for the first time after their 'suppy' trip. Remember by the letter of the law at EK the flight crew are not allowed down the back of the aircraft unless for operational issues, hence you don't se us in the rear galley having a coffee and a chat. Anyway don't forget we are all in it together and we are there to help each other - which comes back to the original point 'are we (by this I mean ALL crew both flight and cabin) allowed to eat F class food' - I'm sure management would say no, however why not, but lets share it please!!!!!
PS Ezychic you have no idea of the cultural / religious / language differences that are commonplace with over 100+ nationalities in the cabin at EK. It has a bearing to all of the CRM issues at EK BUT CRM goes both ways don't just do the easy thing and blame the flight crew!!!!
