Crew at Transavia Holland, showing my age now, work and always have worked their dangly bits off. So much so that it has sometimes bordered on the downright dangerous ! Cabin crew at HV have always been held over a barrel, what with seasonal labour contracts and the threat of being let go at the end of a season, consisting of 364 days of the year, and not being hired back two days later, but flight crew have been in a slightly better position, job security wise. I am amazed that is has taken the flight crew at HV so long to stand up to be counted.
Aviation Trainer too's lovely comments re HV work ethics are not only patronising, but also either ill-informed, plain silly or just downright dumb; straight from company management perhaps ? Lovely 'quote' from a senior pilot ! Do enlighten us as to your angle of attack, dear 'too'.
