Well then you have this kind of stuff- yesterday I get to the plane and an ACARS message states that we were missing an FA. So I go to the galley and I can here hold music for CS on the phones of two other FAs (Bing bing bong.... Bong bing bong). They informed us they had been on hold for over 40 minutes each. We asked why they were on hold and they said to ask CS what they were going to do about the missing FA. We told them about the message. They waited on hold until they got to an hour then they hung up.
If this is the mentality of flight attendants I wonder if that's not the reason for unnecessary hold times. They were on hold with CS for no other reason but to be on hold with CS. When do we get our own line?
