There is absolutely no connection at all between the sgt in 'Stan and BA CC.
They exist on completely different planets, both of which are somewhat unreal.
One puts his life on the line for his/her Country, and NATO, and the UN, as instructed ... or the Company, in this context.
The other puts his/her job on the line to defend archaic T&Cs that are actually being assured by the Company anyway. Wibble?
The sgt in the ditch doesn't give a solitary sh1t about your grievances.
Probably, although I wouldn't presume to speak for the majority of the UK population, most of us don't either
Sorry if that's a bit hard-ball, but I work for a Charity that looks after the aftermath of conflict, like the loss of several limbs, or PTSD, or widowhood. Somehow I find BA cabin crew grievances a bit petty. I guess that's why I come across as a grumpy old barsteward who really doesn't care about the CC's "grief and anguish".
On a personal level I
do, however, care about being forked about when I try to fly BA in a Premium Cabin and can't even be assured that the flight's going to operate.
I'm also trying to be nice and polite, but it gets bludgy difficult some times.
