Thanks for that
Ottergirl.
I canīt remember ever seeing it in the past, yet over these past few years I have had to send 3 FAs home as pax because they had a melt-down on board (arm the opposite door after it was disarmed instead of cross checking it, taking a business class meal trolley into tourist class and start serving in the middle of the cabin, sitting on landing seat without fastening the harness, tipping over a full desert trolley and just walk away from it) It is tragic to watch, traumatic for the colleague concerned and disconcerting for the rest of the crew.
I also hear of pilots with problems and battling short-haul exhaustion.
If somewhat overly dramatic in places
Iīd say that her blog piece is pretty spot on nonetheless.
