At times I shake my head and understand others cynicism towards the company's selection of candidates for promotion. We have all worked with wombats in the past, from all sorts in the seniority pool, and can usually pick them within a minute of a briefing.
However, I want to congratulate ALL of the recent successful applicants. They put themselves on the line and have come out on top. We all have access to that opportunity but only a handful of us seize it. Let's celebrate their success and also be thankful that it's an Australian based member of the Long Haul community. The alternative isn't worth considering. Granted, some outstanding crew were not successful and this is unfortunate. Let's continue to offer them our support and encouragement for the the next recruitment and hope they are fortuitous.
The challenge is now for those candidates to prove their worth. The eyes of many in the cabin crew community are upon them!
