Weak CA leadership seen by too many. FAs now think they decide when we have lav breaks and when we eat. The number of times I now see FAs call up with 45 minutes left in the flight with “you guys want to eat now?” Yeah no, and I’ll just claim meal reimbursement now.
A lot of the DFW captains seem to have symptoms of Asperger syndrome. 0 people skills. This stuff should be handled in the FA briefing. I would caution you against submitting the meal reimbursement if your meal wasn't missing or materially incomplete. It is an automated process and you will get reimbursed, but they can and will use it to hang you down the road if they want to get rid of you. If you're hungry or need to use the lav, have the captain call back. You don't have to sit there and pout. Use your words.
