Does that mean that the LGW BA CC earning a fraction of the salaries of those employed at LHR are likely to be less effective?
That is a worry.
You hit the nail!
In fact yes it is less effective, this is why the fire fighting procedure had to be changed when 3 crew where introduced on the A319s at LGW, it had always had involved 4 people.
So it already shows how on the name of cost cutting, safety procedures had to be ammended,...
Saving measures sometimes cut corners, and this is not good.
What i was referring to anyway is at the lack of awareness that you displayed with your comment of what skills the cabin crew role require.
Whe are going from Safety, Efficiency, Economy to Economy, Efficiency and last safety in our industry, and this will show on the statistics sooner than what we think.
