As usual, this thread is full of the same bitter posters on both sides of the devide.
I very much doubt that BA is asking anyone to go out and eat with each other, let alone hug a pilot! Exaggeration is always fun and reprinting it and moaning about misinformation is even more fun, for some on here.
I have found that most cabin crew and pilots still go out together as we always have, well on my flights we do! I have also had many pilots saying how hard it is to go out with Mixed Fleet crew because they spend most of the time talking about how poor they are and the pilots feel obliged to pay for their drinks!
I can well imagine why some posters on here find it hard to get the opposite group to go out for a drink with them and it probably relates to the fact that you seem to hate each other intensely.
Luckily there are many normal cabin crew and many normal pilots out there in the real world and most of us get on fine!
