i think youve done the right thing by putting this on the web. anyone remember the ba747 that almost landed on the hotel at heathrow? i remember reading the report in pilot and the court reports(im not going to have a pop at the captain) there were problems between the flight deck crew and the cabin crew, according to the reports ive read it got so bad that the flight deck crew didnt get so much as a glass of water off the cabin crew for the last few hours of the flight. somehow i dont think that is conducive to flight safety. as a final point cant cabin crew use the chirp system, or alternetively does ba have flight safety officers like the raf that you can go to in confidence?
