And I love your logic by the way. Since I wasn't there at the conception of the position I should no way know what it was meant to be? Well using this logic, I wasn't at the Gettysburg Address, the signing of the Declaration of Independence or the Magna Carta, but.....
McDonald's provides a service for x amount of dollars. Airlines provide a service for x amount of dollars. Each company's product costs x amount of dollars. Apples to apples.
Come back with solid reason and logic and less emotions.
Well obviously the AFA was created to provide job protection/job improvement for those 5 year employment runs. And staffing a fast food restaraunt vs staffing a airplane cabin is NOT the same. The level of responsibility is NOT the same. The fact that the two industries provide a service does NOT make them very similar. Can you hire a 16 yr old to be a FA? Is the turnover cost at McDonalds higher then at an airline? What about the training costs? Insurance? Liability? Health care costs? What does it cost to make and serve a McDouble? Now what does it cost to staff and operate an MD88? By your logic I should receive the same treatment on a bus that I'd receive when hiring a limo. Apples to apples indeed.
