You need to re:read it Islandlad. I was pointing out the fact all CC serve more of a purpose than just serving T&C and escorting people to their seats. The crew with my outfit are very well trained and a few months ago I witnessed them in full CPR mode desperately trying to save the life of a customer. I was just highlighting to the uninitiated / plain ignorant* (* amend to suit) that the cabin crew are more valuable on board our aircraft that some think. I know that if I'm taken I'll, that there are 10 or so highly trained crew to hopefully sort me out.
Threat? - don't be silly. Just highlighting the ignorance of others'.
As one ex training Captain once told me early doors in my career, " Your steak can kiss the rim of a toilet before being presented with the sweetest of smiles". That advice has served me well.
