I hear that BA have toughened up their guidance on employees and posting company info on social media.

Wonder if this is linked?

No, but Insta, Twitter etc work with hashtags and sharing, so if an account has more than a few followers, any pictures and the account will be connected with BA sooner rather than later and it will be very easy to find it via hashtags.

The main reason cabin crew are on board is for your safety, a role that is compromised by alcohol.
Let’s not assume we’re all catatonic and incapable of making our way out of an aircraft.
We’re not all instantly doomed if we’re minus one cabine crew.

No, not all of us are. But the PRMs and UMs may well be.

Not to mention the regulations concerning minimum cabin crew.

So you're happy to find your way out, in the dark, in an aircraft that is burning and not level, possibly in water? These are all scenarios the cc train for. YOU may be capable but others may not and could be in your way impeding your exit. I don't think you understand their role, nor their training.

"Burning, not level, possibly in water", cripes ! Even the drunk CA would probably wake up and make his own way out ! CC compliment normally exceeds the leagal requirement of one per 50. Hopefully the CA who was wrapped up in a pax seat from LHR to Bahrain will have got a thumbs down from the rest of. the team. Hopefully.

Add in the fact that the majority of passengers don't pay attention to the safety brief and the panic factor then you'd regrettably be proven wrong.

Not saying what reefrat did was right, but QF to BAH?

Interesting how some here seem to think its just fine and dandy to sweep it under the carpet if possible, but would be first in the queue to criticise the police when they allegedly do the same thing with their bad apples.

Second point:
"it was reported in The Sun" - for those not in the know about UK newspapers - means "in the absence of our reporter putting in a scintilla of effort to verify or check anything, this is what we have made up in order to sell more papers"

Are you suggesting that the Sun has fabricated the story?
