Lowcostdolly - You need to read my post again and refrain from the temptation to assume an attack on your profession. Any 'attack' was aimed at the number of times cc complain about the incompetence of pax and your assertion that they do not appreciate the inherent dangers of flying in turbelent conditions.

Well of course they do not appreciate the dangers, and of course they are incompetent when it comes to issues of flight safety. They have neither the training nor the comprehension of the specific atmospheric conditions which can produce hazardous flight conditions. Why should they be expected to know this after a safety brief lasting minutes.

Consequently it is your primary function to take responsibility for these people and ensure that they observe the regulations for both their security and that of their fellow pax.

I find it senseless therefore that some cc continue to bemoan this function in much the same way as it is equally so for pax to ignore a safety briefing. Pax have an excuse though - either stupidity, excitement, distraction in a strange environment etc etc, and it is for this reason that cc continue in existence.
