The REAL Betsys
All,
with the sycophants ball about to take place in CX City, I thought the Pprune community would be interested to see what gets 'rewarded' at CX and more importantly what does NOT get rewarded.
So here are the CX Nominated Betsys for 2011:
Diabetic Passenger
Epileptic Passenger
Helping the Sick Passenger
Medical Emergency in Changi Airport
Passenger with Family Emergency
Passenger with Sick Infant
Recovering a Lost Blackberry
Retrieving a Lost Bag
Returning Lost Earring
Reviving a Passenger
Teenage Passenger with Missed Connection
(and no I didn't make some up, this is the genuine list!)
After you have all re-composed yourselves, swoon, faint, aren't they wonderful and deserving....
Can I begin a list of proposed REAL Besty Award nominees:
B-HLL - front end crew, back end crew, pax - some of whom may never fly with CX again
B-HOZ - front end crew, back end crew and pax that all endured depressurization, cold and 22hrs of 'warm' hospitality in Karaganda International Airport, in Kazakhstan
FRA Ground Crew/Engineers - that had to deal with the clean up after a passenger passed away in flight, was stored in the lav and released a large amount of fluids - no CX doesn't have any specialist cleaners for this task...
.....please feel free to add your own nominations

These awards are just a cheap attempt to make non-professional staff feel valuable members of the 'team'.
Professionals such as pilots and engineers don't need them because we know we are appreciated, treated respectfully and enjoy generous terms and conditions.

We don’t reward front end crew. We don’t want to inflate their already inflated sense of importance. It’s not good managing.
It is expected, that is what we pay you for to save the day when scheduling, maintenance, loaders or ground staff screw up.
Do you think we pay you to fly on Sunny days; we can get monkeys to do that. Pilots are just a bit smarter than your average monkey and you are expected to save the day because of Corporate System Failures.
When the first aircraft crashes, we will label that pilot as an incapable monkey and blame him/her because of our corporate systematic failures. We will not be held accountable.
If the pilot was labeled as tired, we will blame the monkey for extending his/her duty day. No accountability for any Manager.
Pilots get their overpaid reward the 26th of each month and when they retire, but we are always finding ways to reduce it.
And yes, you get the privilege of Staff Travel, which is one of the best in the World. We can take it away at any time.
