Simplex, ask yourself why?
400 Jock, fac6, Panza and Jack I agree with you all.
I find them all rude and moody and if you say anything non-standard to them they assume you're chatting them up.
Last year I was on a flight with a real nice Skipper, he invited all the girls out for dinner (he offered to pay.) It wasn't min rest, was a short flight and the restaurant was basically in front of the hotel so no excuses about needing sleep, too far etc. The ISM said thanks but no thanks they were off to bed etc.
I go to this place with the Captain then about 15 minutes who walks in with about 10 of the Cabin Crew? The ISM!
I know they have no obligation at all to eat with us etc. but that was rude.
All this boll*x about girls being lumbered with high bar bills etc is a load of sh*t too.
I have also been treated like **** many times on staff travel so now I just don't do it. Much prefer ID on other airlines. Yes it's more expensive but worth it for not being treated like rubbish. Maybe that's something you guys should consider
