Courtesy costs nothing. Although I ended up doing something quite different, I always thought I would make a good flight attendant. It's because I always felt that whatever job I did - had to be done right.
But, having seen the antics of fellow slf on numerous flights across Europe and the States, I wonder whether I would have had the strength of character usually displayed by the cabin crew.
Frankly, I don't think so. Wishing doesn't make it so.
And as for doing such a vital job and being paid a pittance for doing it, I can only ask why? Are there so many perks that we "the great unwashed" just don't get to hear about that make it worthwhile?
So come on, if you're employed as cabin crew, what makes the job worth doing? Particularly when pressure's being applied - not only by the slf, but the management - forever trying to trim their operating costs - and usually starting by reducing salaries and allowances for you guys (and gals!).
