local crew

i agree with some of the comments on a 'vacant' reaction but it's been cx policy to only hire(with few exceptions)hk local crews the last few years.almost 2/3rds or more of all crews are now CT on the crew list.Most of these are new,the turnover is horrendous,they're on really crappy pay and contracts,and the attitude to 'service' is really starting to show.it's not necessarily a local hk thing but a product of min pay and very little training along with zero pride in the job...why bother if you only intend staying a year?
cx get what they pay for and the girls can obviously see what the more senior crew contracts are......ring a bell?
they're understandably ticked off and cockpit crew, sniffing around in the galleys during meal service and asking to be fed on the ground, are irritations to be tolerated.given the appalling manners of some junior (and not so junior cockpit crew) i dont blame them for ignoring you.
