in the two loco carriers I have worked for the CC have dealt with it very well
Q. How much is that down to previous experience learned/earned in other carriers, and brought across to be inherited by the lo-co?
I ask, because in a number of cases that I have experienced, a very experienced CC has taken the required action, thus halting the sequence of events that would otherwise be a major problem.
I was seriously disappointed when cabin crew briefings on safety related items lasted for less than ¼ of the time allotted to sales, and the current 'prime' product.
And that is the norm in many places.
