For what it's worth, I also have access to CF, and it's basically as GG describes it!
PiB wonders why more CC don't post and 'debate' over there: Well maybe it's because they get shouted down, abused, etc! We know many crew who now can't even be bothered to visit that forum!
I have recently flown with some of the most vile crew members I have ever had the misfortune to meet. In over ten years I have never come across such behaviour. Put simply, regardless of the current difficulties at work, these people were rude, evasive and impolite - all because I happen to be a pilot. This wasn't even as a result of any 'conversation' - one of the crew, a purser, refused to shake hands at briefing (not a big thing I guess, just downright rude when someone offers a hand!)
suprise suprise we didn't see them on the trip!
Anyway
