Lancastrian, I think your comments hit the spot. I'm also not CC, but with none of your qualifications, just a former airline & now corporate pilot & SLF. When observing the CC & the conditions they have to work under, I wonder why many of them stick with the job in its current form.
But what can be done to improve the lot of cabin crew? Lobbying the unions to lobby the airline management to improve the flight time limitations & night stop conditions? Lobbying the unions to lobby the airline management to improve support for staff? Posting on Pprune is great as it shows there is a need for these problems to be addressed, but it doesn't actually take it to the next level - that has to come from those directly involved.
