What's condescending about the truth? Sorry, but some FA's (pilot's too) KNOW they shouldn't be doing this job. When someone's life is on the line is not the time to determine you're not "fit" enough to do the job. Seeing's how you show yourself as a fireman, would you like having someone in charge who couldn't handle the job? I guess you'd just let everyone slide rather than be "condescending". Sorry, that's not the mark of a leader, and that's EXACTLY how non-qualified people get jobs they shouldn't be doing.
