RedTBar, I agree with you whole heartedly. There is some amazingly skilled crew on the aircraft that given the opportunity would make exceptional CSM & CSS's. How do we assess that ability in a transparent and fair way for all crew? Are you confident that it is any more infallible than the current recruitment process?
In regards to crew who spend their time crack licking in the office, that isn't just the domain of single people. I am sure there is a fair share of family makers in that group as well. Many of us single ones have lives outside of QF that preclude us from spending the time in the office too. As I suggested in my last post, let's offer them our support for the next time the opportunity arises and hope they succeed and allow for a more representative group of CSM and CSS's.
