Engage with the disenfranchised, threatened, pissed off and worn out staff first...fix that problem because without that being solved, they're completely wasting their time trying to fix the customer satisfaction problem.
As Branson says.."I don't have to worry about looking after my customers...I look after my staff and THEY look after my customers"
It's not rocket science. Like Branson says and does - treat your staff well and they will look after the customers. What do the company expect when the cabin crew are worked like dogs?
If management need to run focus groups with cabin crew to work this out then they don't deserve to be in a management role.
And to have to go in on a rare day off just adds insult to injury, even if it is voluntary. These meetings should be rostered.
