There's a few very classy, professional, normal and sane FAs out there and they're an absolute pleasure to work with, but.......well let's just say that there's many that don't fit those descriptors.
KCM for FAs? I don't think so. Oh, and btw....if you're going to come on a professional pilot forum as a FA, expect to get your feathers ruffled. You could be a fantastic and very trustworthy person to work with, but unfortunately for you there's too many of your peers that are just friggin' crazy and DO NOT need to be bypassing security. Sorry.
Sorry, but insults have NO place on a so-called "professional" forum. That's waaaay different from having my feathers ruffled. Believe me, I can ruffle feathers better than most of you, but don't lest I incur the wrath of the mods and out of respect for the website.
As for many of FAs being crazy, that's a reflection of YOUR airline that hires them then doesn't fire them. I can say the same for some totally off-the-wall pilots I've had the "pleasure" of knowing and working with. THEY can do a helluva lot more damage than FAs.
BTW, how come not one of you has acknowledged pilots who have carried weapons through TSA, have gone bat-**** crazy in-flight, who are KNOWN child porn possessors and the list goes on and on of other serious personality flaws up to and including alcoholism and drug use? Are you really that blind to it or is it just easier to make blanket assumptions about FAs?
(Not directed at you directly, but in general to all the posters who have such negative views of FAs).
