I just wonder if juries in future cases of air rage will adopt a different approach to accepting the evidence of cabin staff.

These apologies for cabin staff have done a great disservice to the industry and their colleagues who still have jobs.

I feel sure they were ex cabin staff or if they are still employed, soon to be ex staff. The programme makers will have anticipated the question.

The problem is that the production and the topic links suggested that such behaviour was wide spread.

We must accept that there are a few bad apples about and how that most viewers would be of the belief that it was not a serious programme but a spoof.

Most of the examples, especially those about "flying" the plane will show how untrue they are (turning back and fore over Russia as an example). sadly, whilst most non pilots (and cabin crew) on this BB would appreciate the bullsh*t factor here, the general member of the public and journalist will not have the knowledge to appreciate what a lot of boll*cks it all was.
