hows AEU now?
Well i flew for AEU on a temp contract from day 1 and helped to set the operation up, as in shifting furniture and canibalising the old cityflier building on the opposite side of the A23, which was interesting! Out of the airlines, id say AEU was interesting to say the least and flying for them was just as much an adventure.
I just got fed up with spending all the flights apologising for the state of the cabin,lack of IFE, catering and lap trays that had no clips(i recall us keeping them up with infant seatbelats on some occassions).Not to mention people's hand luggage being covered in toliet waste on the last row as the loos leaked and went everywhere.It wasnt unusual to do a murcia-man with 1 loo operational and a full load,nice!You cant apologise and keep up the company image when you agree whole-heartedly with the pax complaints!Now i know teething problems happen but 6 months down the line,things had not improved much and it got beyond a joke.Crew morale at MAN got to a major low point and many left for pastures new.Me included.The management team had an open door policy for the 1st few months then that door gradually closed and bolted, which was more or less the icing on the cake.you cant work for an airline you do not believe in.I hope things have gotten better for you guys, and did they ever make a standard interior product?Pax got a bit confused by grey seats on one plane and blue mottled on another,and did those paper headrest covers survive?
