Work at an airport, and your opinion of Flight attendants can really go out the window!
On a day to day basis, I see the Qantas flight crews wandering past in the terminal, and have quite often wondered who shoved the carrot up there!!
I have been involved in aviation all my life, and I can honestly say, that all the times I have flown RPT, and with all the different carriers I have tried, Qantas Customer Service leaves the others for dead as far as attitude goes. This is not to say that there are not some very good Qantas flight attendants, it is just that the remainder of your collegues W@NK a lot
Heard recently on a flight from YMML-YBBN. Was sitting in business when I could not help but overhear,(as I am sure half the aircraft did!), A very heavily made up, not so young female flight attendant, say 'Oh you're just a staff traveler' to a quiet lady sitting about 3" from me.(This was said after the lady had requested a water for the third time in 20 minutes!!!!) Very proffesional I thought.......NOT!! But then, that seems to be the attitude reminiscent of the majority of Qantas flight attendants. these days.
Whatever happened to 'Customer Service'
