Being cabin crew in Europe and the US is a serious job. Anedotally, crew from Asian countries are courteous and friendly with excellent customer service skills but can be very subservient and timid. In my opinion, that isn't great from a 'safety professional'.
Isn't this safety element of CC blown out of all proportion? What are the odds of anything happening (where the CC even have an influence) within an already unbelievably safe industry? Virtually zero..
Personally, I would rather have a high level of service with an acceptable level of safety as opposed to the "We are only here for your safety BS (i.e. there is no service) that is spouted on US and many European carriers.
I expect incoming for this view but it is my view!.
