And you wonder why there are problems

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.
and
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 in addition to calling cabin crew "old hags" and other disrespectful and juvenile comments. Maybe some of the problems could be solved if Captains had four year renewable contracts and had to prove their ability to manage a crew (different from barking orders) in addition to flying a plane.The only light at the end of the tunnel is that some dinosaur Captains must be getting pretty damn close to retirement age.
