Flymeagain, The CDG based crew emeber you are speaking of is in fact the #2 on our seniority list. She is currently on medical leave. A mean rumour was that she was in a nursing home.I am not sure what her hire date is but the #3 is one of our Honolulu stewards with a 1948 start date at United. Interestingly enough, there is a mandatory retirement age of 70 at United ( 60 for pilots) yet it does not seem to apply to cabin crew. The CDG senior gal had to wear a back support belt to emergency training a few years ago to open a window exit. HOW did she pass?????
