Some keen observations..
A friend of mine has just told me about a conversation they had with a manager from another department that stated several interesting points without any prompting:
1. The ratio of CCDMs to cabin crew was ridiculously high.
2. The company isn't doing as well as it should because of all the money that is being fed into V Australia - they had recently been in LA for a few months helping with the set up.
3. There have been about 6 confirmed redundancies in their department and other jobs had already been merged.
4. Cabin crew rostering isn't optimal at the moment.
Some interesting points to think about, especially as they are observations coming from someone outside the cabin crew department.
