Some of your new, particularly young female crew, might not have flying in their blood but for those that do a Summer season around the Med can be the making of a crew member.
No sexism there then
And you a male crew member
easyflyer tut tut
I am not so young female crew and as SCCM have done more med circuits than you who apparently has not even done some at all to be able to comment in an informed way on this thread.
Here is the bottom line Hun. As CM's we identify problems on the ground and preferably at the gate with good comms with the dispatcher. We then pass these onto the Captain who
is in charge of these flights and
together we make a decision. That is CRM 101.
Of course some will be able to make it to the plane in a reasonable manner and shut up for the safety demo. Then they make it into the air assuming you let them get up on taxi without telling the Captain
You think you are "in control" in the air of a drunk??. You need to ditch the ego trip right now
easyflyer as you are on a pax forum. Nobody controls a drunk and the person who actually has control in the flight deck at whatever stage of flight or on the ground is actually beyond your control as the CM. You report to that person.
Get a grip......it's not all about you and your performance on this thread. See the bigger picture as many pax will due to your posts and will probably never fly orange again out of your base. I know I wouldn't as keep plying the loud, lively and unruly with alchohol is inviting trouble and all because you feel you have control as a CM??.
Personally I just wouldn't sell them alchohol end of at the risk of being that "finger wagging" crew member. When they then order 10 cokes/tonics and lemonades with ice it sort of alerts you to the fact they might just possibly be drinking their own booze and makes all crew more vigilent provided this is communicated. Personally I don't find many empty bottles on turnaround as I confiscate what they have and give it back when they get off.
All IMHO as a colleague. And to get back to thread topic the Captain is in charge but relient on the CM for cabin issues right from check in in the briefing room.
I'm guessing not many flight crew would disagree here.
