are cabin crew sentient beings?
AVFLYER raises interesting and relevant points regarding the attitudes and thought processes of cabin crew, particularly those who remain BASSA members.
cabin crew have been quite vociferous in pointing to the knowledge needs of their job, its safety functions and the arduous nature of their shift patterns.
yet, when it comes to understanding the terms and conditions of their employment and information given to them by BA and BASSA, it appears that the (vast) majority, are apathetic, unable to understand the written word or, blindly, delete information, on instruction from BASSA, given by BA.
frankly, you can't have it both ways. Either you are grossly overpaid and rewarded for doing a Noddy job that is just within your capacity or, you are grown up adult human beings who could and should be able to give mature consideration to information regarding your very demanding job- one that is rewarding in many ways and reflects your needs as a grown up, mature and intelligent human being.
life is full of contradictions but perhaps you, the cabin crew, can perhaps understand that outside of your ranks, these contradictions are hard to swallow.
