Spoke to a member of the cabin crew at LHR after a 13 hour flight to thank him for excellent service and attention.
Asked him how often he did the run--- every day I said
-- No he said--once a week. He did look absolutely knackered.
Now I know some people like the fire service because it hardly disturbs your normal job but crikey a one day week !!!
Don't get me wrong they all worked damn hard. Their attention and efficiency was incredible and there is no way on earth I would like to do it --- but what do CC on long haul like this do with the other 6 days per week ?
