From: France, why do you think I have this ouuuutrageous accent?
I fly frequently on Easyjet out of Milan, to Brussels, Paris, Berlin, London, Barcelona etc. On private as well as on business trips even though my employer would not mind my taking major airlines at much higher rates.
I particularly enjoy the cabin crews who are efficient, professional, very friendly and often fun. On all my flights, I noticed that there was always at least one cc in the front and one in the back speaking the languages of origin and destination of the flights.
And I once witnessed something that really tells a lot on the working atmosphere at EZ: boarding a flight from Mxp to Brussels coming from Berlin, an EZ captain travelling as SLF, coming complete with tanned face, four stripes and a big watch stopped in the cockpit to say hi to his pals. He then introduced himself to the German senior cc before going to take a sit in the back. " Oh you're Italian" she said in English, " I'm not too good in Italian, can I call on you if I need a translator?" . "yes of course" replied the big man without any hesitation. I don't know if I would have seen the same friendly, easygoing (excuse the pun) and helpful attitude between crew members of another airline.
