Words fail me.
Are you really so dim that you can't understand what the source is of ALL the money the airline uses to carry out its operations? Hundreds of thousands of sources really; they're called "passengers" or even "customers". You are NOT doing them a favour by making them, "if I am feeling generous, comfortable".
You would simply be doing your job, and if you don't like being in a service industry because it's beneath you to be of service, get the hell out of it.
And now back to the thread about "thick passengers." Just ignore me, until, perhaps, you start wondering why you're in the dole queue.
Words often fail people when they don't read the tone of the post quite well enough. I used some sarcasm, I am sorry did it throw you?
We are all in the business of providing a service wherever we work - otherwise what is it you exchange for runumeration?
All I eluded to is the 'I pay your wages therefore I am never wrong' attitude does not really sway with me. We wouldn't carry restraint kits onboard if this were always the case.
what I'm also saying is that moaning about the existence of this thread is really comical to me - I don't like channel 5 so I turn it off - you can do the same you know.
As for me leaving the profession of Cabin Crew - tis my intention. However If you have ever worked with me you will know that actually I treat all of the guests onboard the aircraft very well - however in the past few years they occasionally come out witha dim comment - which only my fellow crew may understand.
The reason I got annoyed by the other post was that rudeness is never called for that's why it was my colleague who said that to a passenger and not me however he had also told her to f off and get some coffee so maybe she was justified.
I think we also make a lot of money out of Cargo too - thankfully that doesn't require reminding not to smke 6 times before we take off - unfortunately for Qantas it still does it seems.
Grief can't have any fun anymore without being told off!
