Flugbegleiter and CC comrades
Hi guys
Thanks for the support. Never mind the grumpy old engineers. Some LAMEs are ALWAYS acting like work is an inconvenience to their coffee break.
The majority of LAMEs will thank you in their heart of hearts for keeping them in a job and helping us all to stick it to those who deserve it.
Please, in all the heated passion and noise of this dispute, remember the comfort and safety of the travelling public. Despite what the Big Swinging GDick says, it's the bums on seats that keep us all in a job. Not the shareholders! We only have jobs because the customers keep flying with us. So please ensure that the cabin is safe and comfortable for them.
Please report:
Call lights, no smoking/fasten seat belt/return to seat lights - even if there is still one bulb operating in the light
Ovens slow to heat
Coffee brewers (any number of potential defects)
PA defects, real or perceived (may take two LAMEs to work that one out!)
Video defects, especially during pushback & power transfer, interrupting your safety briefing (B734's especially - it's been happening alot!)
"Missing" safety and/or demo equipment
Soiled seat cushion covers and especially seat backs (they take alot longer than cushion covers to replace) - even if it's only water. It may be a body fluid or toxic chemical - who's to know?
Dodgy magazine rack springs (could inhibit a pax safe egress during an emergency)
Rattles in the ceiling
Air noise around the doors
Liquid dripping from aircon ducts ("maybe it's just condensation, but I'm not a LAME so I'll report it anyway")
Lifting carpet (trip hazards)
Missing seat trim (might cut someone)
Missing or loose floor track trim
"Is that crazing or cracking on that pax window? Is it the inner, middle or outer pane?"
In the interest of supplying the service they have paid for and have a right to expect from a supposedly premium airline, especially our F/C & B/C customers, PLEASE ask your passengers to report any real or perceived safety, IFE or passenger comfort defects!!!
Thank you and Good luck!
