Simple, Agnes. Its just as fake as the rest of the "setup". The CX appointed leaders are sittin' in up front. In reality most of the "leaders" wouldnt have the f..... balls to stand up against any cabin crew should they have to. Why? Simply. There will be no backup from "your" management pilots - they will be all busy covering their own a.. Hell, they even eat their own - its not that long ago - remember!
Disneyland may seem like a fairytale but dont you forget - in Disneyland nothing and no thing is for real - not even Mickey Mouse. Just dont tell that to your kids
No where has Fukme gone too?

armchairpilot94116 : Anyone still wondering why the girls dont want to go out with the flight crew?
You can enjoy talking to them about their Hello Kitty collections, their cute lil' mobile phone trinkets and their cute lil' tags hanging off their rollerboards whilst eating Chinese or Thai cuisine all over the world, knock yourself out mate

With potential for ridicule...
I found this originally quite a good thread to discuss CC issues, however it's plain to see that this has just degenerated into a sad and pathetic chauvinistic bashing and slagging off of our CC.
Isn't it great that all the public can see just how great and intelligent the Cathay pilots are huh?
All this beatings of chests is pathetic.
I personally feel the Moderator should close this thread.
Sorry guys but this has stooped pretty low. Now I know why the girls think we are a bunch of f*ckwits!
Yea I know... I can bugger off, get a life etc.

The hat police and the self appointed moderators are still here. Gotta make u laugh.. 
cryin' like little chicks..
Well back to the thread.
Has anybody ever seen the so-called cabin crew "hate list"? Rumour has long had it that such a thing is around - and I am so afraid that I'm on it.. Me - crying like a chick too..

Well of the reservation on this tread by now!
But let me say this about pilots....forget whether their is Camaraderie amongst the crew in general. Why are we as pilot equivocating our jobs as pilots with that of the men and women that work in the cabin. There vastly different occupations. One can be attain in less than two weeks....another takes a number of very painful years to attain. Only to have insulting cabin crew say we didn't work our way up. I beg to differ. We need to start fighting for our respect......otherwise you will be waiting for your coffee for 45 minutes and written up by someone who barely completed high school. They can do all the write ups they want....I neither desire them or what they have to offer.....but our position is different; and as such when we ask for coffee or other courtesy extended by the company...it should done in a reasonable time......stop asking to hang out with them...they’re plenty of normal women ( Men if that’s your flavor) to find friendships with than the cabin crew. However, throwing peanuts around a cabin doesn't make you god's gift.....

drnetsurfer,
I think if you want more respect, you can start by improving your English grammar skills. Also you'll find that lot of the Cathay girls have not only completed high school but have higher academic qualifications that you so obviously lack.

Oh ! Sorry Hotdog!
Never thought you were appointed the forums evaluator on grammar or sentence composition. Otherwise, you forgot a comma after (Also, you’ll find). You would also be far off the mark as to my level of education. I never remarked that cabin crew didn’t finish high school. Nor did I remark that a few might not have achieved higher levels of education. But my statement still stands, we as pilots do not have to equivocate our positions with that of the cabin crew. We need no praise from cabin crew or adoration. But they need to recognize that we do occupy different positions. As pilots, we had to slave our way to where we are today. Our positions as pilots come with certain responsibilities, authority, and privileges ( If we still have those left). If company policy allows for me to ask for coffee or other items necessary during a flight or gives the Captain higher authority and responsibility, then that’s the way it is. We don’t need the additional commentary on how hard they think we work as pilots up front or whether we are deserving of service during a flight; that’s part of the job description as cabin crew. I am not defending guys who are rude or go trolling for cabin crew to hang out with on overnights. But if someone in the cabin crew finds that they are deserving of high wages or a superior position within the company to which their overwhelming level of education affords, then by all means apply for that position. But you applied for the position of cabin crew and all that it entails. You want more, apply for something else or find a different line of work.
When I was an enlisted man in the military, I may have work harder than some in other jobs and I certainly thought I should be paid more. But I didn’t go around thinking that because the commanding officer seemly didn’t work harder in his air-conditioned office that my harder physical work or longer hours put me on equal footing with the commanding officer. As it turns out many years later when I advance to the officer corps, he actually did plenty of work as I found out.
So, I say to all pilots defend our occupation the way everyone else defends their occupations…. management, cabin crew, maintenance, electricians, plumbers etc etc We may make it look easy up front. But it wasn’t easy getting there and the job deserves the respect to which the position affords. Just like the CEO, Director of Flight Ops, etc etc
Right Hotdog!

Hey blokes...just my 2 cents here...
To me FA's are a mixed bag. Always have been. Some are willing to hang out, some not. You just gotta have the attitude..easy come easy go... and i've often been surprised, that after thinking one is all icy, she is actually quite nice when you get her away from the pressure of her colleagues seeing and talking. Many of these girls are gorgeous and can get any business class customer they want. Why would they want to date a pilot? Almost none of them need rescuing if thats what you think. And alot of them have alot of class, education, and some come from very wealthy families. Forget it if you think they fall all over themselves thinking your the ONLY good guy in the market for them. I think not... lol. Because to them, were not even close to the the dudes that actually pay for the seats up front. Women love to gossip...and when they date a pilot and break up... we become the enemy because we are the most familiar break up story. Its just the reality. Besides, do you really want to date a girl from work?? Do yourself a favour and find a girl with something better going on in her life than serving coffee at 350. Smile to the girls when they give you your coffe and then thats it.. ..and then tell your flying partner about how your gf is an accounant for Price Waterhouse and is managing a mutual fund!

Good drills bloke,
The pressure of her colleagues - gotta bloody love that enviroment huh - nice.. Pathetic.
A lot of them have a lot of class.. Are you f.c.ing, freakin' kidding me.. Well ok, I see, if class is being able to shut the mouth while sipping a noodle soup - ok, I guess you are right. Well at the end of the day I suppose its all a matter of what standards one has..
Come from wealthy families.. Are you joking me. Do you seriously believe that an Asian girl would work as a cabin crew in that case.. I need yet another break, now..
AND then this story with education.. I do appreciate the fact that in some countries doctors work as taxi-drivers because they can earn more money that way - than could they as doctors - and thats really sad. But now lets not push things here. Just because some have had - say 3 years German, French or economics - doesnt make you Einstein. If they were so bloody smart they prop would have left the coffee/tea or me job after a year or two.
Only guy in the market and business class pax to pick up.. Buddy, you make them sound like they are working girls - I think thats pushing it a bit to far there
I agree to the fact that some of them are nice girls. No doubt.
But at the end of the day - find a girl outside work - thats a good piece of advice. In the meantime - why not just have fun with them lots
