Flew for KLM as a Flight Engineer 10 years ago, always phoned home from flight deck when I got bored or when overhead our house in the UK coming back to Amsterdam, to let my wife know what time I would be home. company to big to notice phone calls!!!
Uniform off once on board and on again post landing...always looked smarter than pax crew!
Easier to get your head down during cruise.
Last never had the us and them mentality or petty flight crew jealousy's from the cabin crew(Males).!!!
