Gladiaviator is 100 % correct. Working on the other side of flight deck door, all the mentioned problems are painfully obvious. Also, the mentality is put up and shut up or get lost. Staff (flight and cabin) are too afraid to voice issues for fear of retribution. Communication between departments is non-existant and the right package is not being offered to the right people to get them here.
I had a discussion with PIC a few days ago and was warned to keep a low profile regarding issues the cabin crew face. I intend to do just that till I can haul my behind back to my home country. Promises are not being kept and the HOCC is the only one around here that knows his job and if not for him, many of the cabin crew would be long gone.
The potential of this airline is staggering, but the implementation/useage of it is down the you-know-what.
