There is that same aspect to a flight attendants safety-related duties as well (they are required and are standardized) but overall the FA has more of an opportunity to interact and be themselves. Because of this I always try to do all I can to help out, or if they don't need any help just to be pleasant and personable and I try to be a person that I would want to spend a few days with primarily because I think they have a really hard job. Maybe its just because I'm a little bit more introverted than the average but I think it would be rather stressful job to interact with nearly forty strangers day after day for the entire flight.
To make things short: There is a reason that CRM means Crew Resource Management and not Cockpit Resource Management. |
Thank you, THANK YOU!!! I'm sure you're an absolute joy to fly with!
