Oops, my original intention in posting was to wish good luck to many good people who gave me lots of good service over a great number of trips. If I should not have done that in this forum I'm sorry but I for one really would like to see AN back in the sky and many good people back in the jobs they did so well.
If in making my post I went off the main topic I'm also sorry. I'm not into complaining and have only once made a complaint to an airline in over 20 years and that was nothing to do with the crew. Cabinboy, please go back and read what I said, we didn't do anything that we were asked not to do at any stage, you weren't there (I don't think!) and your response is more than a bit OTT.
