M Mouse, don't think this post will be here for long. . . but, indeed you cannot control it, however a bit more effort to identify those responsible for propogating it might not have gone amiss. Of course the ones responsible seem to have somehow elevated themselves, in the useless self serving middle managements eyes, to having status superior to the mere "drivers".
Unfortunately, when you allow a bunch of "luvvies" to call themselves "directors"
and to actually believe THEY are actually in charge of the cabin of the aircraft (I.E. responsible legally , and indeed ahead of the SFO /F/O in pecking order) Oh and to add insult to injury pay them as if they ACTUALLY were, well what can you expect.
One of the reasons why the company is in the sh1t now too of course, or are we not allowed to say that (or indeed use the word luvvie) on pprune ?
Bah Humbug ! !
