Some of the comments on this thread are utterly disgusting and I do feel not like posting ever again on here.
Yes - there are some ''entrenched'' cabin crew amongst the EI ranks, yes there are some that don't do a fantastic job but the vast majority do a wonderful job in my experience - based on many years of flying with EI.
Aer Lingus Cabin crew are always targeted with vitriol - no matter what, whether it be internally in the company or amongst the general public.
If people understood the real issues at play here they wouldn't be so quick to comment so adversely.
Ask yourself:
Would you be prepared to work a 12 hour day without a proper meal break? Would you be prepared to work six days of rostered work at 4AM starts, without any proper meal breaks each day, have one day off and then do a Transatlantic run?
It's fantastic to be able to sit back and post regarding a situation - but how well would you perform under these conditions?
If this were the public service for example - the country would grind to a halt if they had to work under those conditions.
Hoping for bad outcomes for staff members is really quite a low.
