IF I were a journalist I'd wish to speak to the
PR department AND a cross (or Cross!!) section of employees.
As an employee I would not speak to/be videoed by any media rep unless I had full editorial control. Since I clearly will not have editorial control then . . .
. . turned up at *** one day to be told on ground intercom that the local TV crew would be coming up to video our shut-down procedures - replied "Yeah right - nobody boards the plane until I say so and that will be when we are just about to disembark!" Sounds a bit hard, doesn't it? Well I've seen people's well-meaning attempts to 'help' a TV crew show them up as idiots and, since I am quite capable of inadvertent idiocy without the assistance of the editorial desk I prefer not to be videoed at all.
p.s. Stan, you really should stop your esteemed broadsheet trying to behave like a tabloid at times
