Here's a weird thing
I've made 3 attempts to solicit input from cabin crew about crm using the cabin crew forum on this site. Seemed like a quick way to get in touch with lots of cabin crew. Each time the moderators deleted my message.
I have been told by the moderators that my study didn't appear to be of benefit to pprune and that it would have be courteous to have asked first. OK, it doesn't say anywhere that you need to seek permission before posting and I have to ask how 75% of what gets posted on pprune 'benefits pprune' or anyone who reads it.
My motive is to engage cabin crew in setting the agenda for cabin crew crm training; something that I think does not happen enough. Seems that's not a good enough reason to leave my posts up.
Follow up : A friend of mine was looking at doing an MSc in aviation human factors. They'd plan to look at the role of cabin crew in supporting the pilots in the advent of incapacitation. Apparently, one of the Greek Air Force F16 pilots who intercepted the Helios aircraft is doing just such a project - could cabin crew gain sufficient control of the aircraft to prevent disaster should both pilots become incapacitated. My friend was having a conversation with an Inspector at the Big Grey Place and was left in no doubt that the roles of cabin crew is to serve coffee. Hmmmm.
