We, the travelling public, are constantly reminded by airlines that cabin crew are there for our safety and are NOT there simply to dole out meals, pander to passengers inane requests / demands, be abused by PAX who think the universe revolves around them the minute they step on a plane etc etc etc ...
Is it unreasonable for passengers to expect that in return ALL cabin crew are actually capable of performing the safety-related aspects of their job and that airlines will ensure that their employees are up to that?
