The entire problem of malcontent cabin crew can be delt with by simply having them sign on with (for example) four year renewable contracts, renewable at the descrition on management. Many asian/middle east airlines do this...time for other companies to fall in line.
This way, problem solved....cheaper too.
My company would not hesitate to terminate
any cabin crew member who did not perform up to expectations...at any time.
Downroute, if necessary.
The CC, knowing this, are fully co-operative in nearly every respect, and quite frankly, a pleasure to fly with.
A done deal.
NB.
Now, I expect some will say...well, the CC have 'rights.'
Sorry, on the airplane they do not, and if they do not measure up, out they go, bag and baggage.
Ahhh, peace and tranquility.
