Mate of mine, on Final Line Check as DEC with the CP, forced into diversion after major malfunction. CP explained that the Company would pay for Crew bed/breakfast & 20 quid each (for a T shirt). Pax were looked after by Charterer or other insurances but, generally, did very well out of it. At Dinner, all crew showed up (willing to spend their 20 quids, no doubt), and, pax at the same hotel, enjoying their freebee meal. CP with my mate bought a bottle of wine each. During ensuing merriment, pretty young thang, the waitress, presumably, appears at the table & asks "Are you the XYZ airlines crew ?", 'Yes' replies CP. " I just wanted to know what we do about drinks"............'Ah', says CP, ' let the passengers pay for their own f-----n drinks !! ' , to which Popsy replies..." I AM one of the passengers" ! Pay for nothing guys. You will get saddled !
