I take offence to Leezyjet's remarks implying that cabin crew are dim-
quote: "Pretty stupid thing to do if you ask me - but then they are cabin crew !!"
As cabin crew myself I have a 2:1 degree and also speak several languages. I do this job as I like it, love the travel and could never work in an office. I am paid well for the work I do. Why do people assume cabin crew are thick? Every day I fly with intelligent, funny crew who do an excellent job at work. We recieve extensive SEP and aviation medicine training and have recurrent exams every year. You must pass all practical and written assessments.
A lot of crew I fly with hold degrees and higher educational awards such as PhD's. I have flown with nurses, a former vet, teachers, police officers etc
As for the original topic of this post, yes it wasn't very clever to post on an open group on Facebook...I generally stick with a good moan in the back galley, emails (not work one, airline can get access into your email at work) anonymous forums, private forums etc
I know a lot of people may think cabin crew are robots with no thoughts or feelings but yes we do often 'slag off' (as someone put it) a handful of pax. Yes I know it's shocking but there is nothing you can do about it...we are entitled to our own thoughts and opinions.
