When Delta wants me to be the FA supervisor, they can send me to training and give me legal backup for the inevitable backlash when the write ups are filed. (Not to mention tamper proof sealed meals.)
Until then: “Not my monkeys, not my circus.”
Delta knows. HVCs are merciless in their critiques on a flight by flight basis. Let their supervisors deal with it.
This times a million. Delta has the data not only is it not our problem to solve Delta data says FAs go above and beyond with customer service. Sure there are some that are lazy but that is far from the norm. I'm conservative with having FA seated if there is any kind of color on the climb and descent of the FWV. Majority of the times FAs are calling to see if they can start service.
Also I DH alot. It's rare that I don't get service and when I don't it's legitimate moderate or worse turbulence. However I have been on multiple flights where it the Captain failed to have the FAs seated with obvious signs of moderate turbulence in the climb or descent on the FWV. One flight it was the same FA crew that I brought in with SEAT procedures and DHed on their next flight. Sharp lead FA kept her crew seated.
