OK, how about the FE - these prima donnas have sat on their aXXes for too long with f-all responsibility.
Dunno about the military world, however...in the civvy end of the spectrum, our F/E's are quite busy.
Supervise refueling.
Supervise cargo/baggage loading.
Exterior and interior inspections.
Load and trim sheet.
TOLD card.
Tech and DD log.
All in addition to their inflight F/E duties.
Seems to me that they are quite necessary, and not just prima donnas that sit on their aXXes for far too long.
And no, I'm not a F/E....just a long time line Captain who appreciates our professional F/E's highly.
