Observation from Stormin Norman
Autobrake low. Dont knock all cabin crew unless you have tried it yourself (which i assume by your comments you haven't)- Flying isn't your normal shift work.
You are so right Stormin, it does take a bit of getting used to!
I have flown with VCC and they are absolutely no different to any cabin crew that have just come to WW. Unless you have done it, you simply cannot describe what life is like sometimes living plus 11hrs/minus 8hrs and getting your rest and life sorted downroute.
VCC, everyone, we eventually achieve a regime that suits us but it is a question of what works for you and it takes a few trips to figure that out.
I think you will find that very many VCC will admit to finding the WW experience a whole lot different to the
PR view of beaches, five star hotels and ample crew rest in bunks.
