Yes SEC, and that's 2.5 hrs between touchdown and pushback so with all the formalities , about 40 mins to yourself in 12-13 hrs.wow
Also most shorthaul pursers have been there 20 yrs-ish, where will you be then??
However , i do agree with your sentiments about shorthaul crew working hard (average 45-50 hrs a week) with 4 crew a320 & 5 crew 757 (and split cabin before anyone starts
)
However they are in general happy beacuse their life keeps going.
As for sevenforseven you are an a*** .
But then again cabin crew will suss you out straight away and when you're gagging for company on your trip you will surely be ditched in favour of someone more enlightened and who has a life.
It's not a case of throwing a few meals around , same as your job isn't just monitoring a couple of systems like homer simpson
God help any crew in an emergency situation with you, i expect you'll go into complete denial as you contemplate your own magnificence and what a legend you really are .NOT.get a life
