m4rx,
Excellent first post!
I am CERTAIN that more than 99% of pilots DO NOT HATE cc. We have excellent working relationships onboard and good friendships on the ground.
However, these same pilots absolutely hate & detest a certain bunch of lying and mis-leading BASSA reps. ALL our anger is directed at them (and their often feeble-minded minions) - NOT at the genuinely decent and hard-working cabin crew such as yourself.
The lies and deceipt of these BASSa reps is directly threatening my job, my family and my pension.
That is why I have volunteered to do the 3-day cabin crew course, NOT because I do not like cabin crew.
