carnage,your observation is correct.
with terrorist attacks once again in the news,cabin crew are needed as a last line of defense in what can be life threatening situations.
reduced crew compliments do nothing to enhance inflight safety and security.
i feel a lot more vulnerable 6 miles up over the atlantic,with less pairs of eyes looking aftrer my wellbeing.
14 crew on a 747,give me 16 anyday..........now is not the time to compromise safety of passengers and crew.
