EK seems to recognize that pilots and their generally verified long term background in professional aviation is worth more than say a cabin crew who has just appeared in the aviation industry 8 months ago. Hence why we do not need to nominate people. Clearly showing more trust towards us (a tiny bit I agree ).
But at the same time, that same "8 month old" cabin crew is fully trusted to look over the same ( more trusted )pilots during the "pee" break.
I would have thought that staff travel abuse not to be as critical as having someone we trust to look over our shoulders ? Or is money more mportant than "show" ?.....
