Relentless management attacks
...agreed on that but:
when was the last time a crew member came up to the cockpit for a chat? Offered you an espresso from first? ......Acknowledged your existence if you walk in the galley?
Er.... Last trip ( and personally I find it happens most trips).
The bizarre situation where the pilots sit at one end of the bar and your crew at the other
Very bizarre indeed, haven't seen that since the IA days. Last trip we all ( 11'ish) sat together at the bar - a long haul legacy crew on the second part of a back to back. There's no doubt some crews can be hard work but if somebody feels they are being cold shouldered on every trip maybe the problem doesn't lie with everybody else on the crew.....
Quite a high percentage of knobs and weird characters in the flight deck - very aware of their "status".
Is that based on personal observation from working in BA and if so from which side of the flight deck door?
