These new procedures create absolute havoc in the back of our aircraft and make our FA’s look like total buffoons (don’t even go there with me). If you think that is funny, then you don’t have a grasp of the total picture. We are only half of the front. The new procedures include separate carts and ultimately have doubled our passenger’s service time. Literally it is so bad, that the instigators of this absurd new service have already had so many passenger complaints that the company line is, “Well, if you can figure out how to do it better, then go ahead and do it.” Are you kidding me? Can you imagine if our flight ops department just threw up their hands and said that? “Well if you can figure out a better approach checklist, then just do it and let us know how it works out.” I’m serious when I say that this moronic service is going to drive many of our customers away. By the way, I just found out that our DAL FA’s assumed this idiotic service came from NWA’s and vice versa. Neither is correct. This is a completely new ill-conceived service of which neither side can be blamed for. We can once again safely lay blame at the idiots in charge of FA cabin service. Many of these personnel haven’t ever been a FA nor ever participated in a service at all. These are the dweebs making decisions about our cabin service. Because you probably don’t have a clue as to what is actually happening behind your closed door, you may not know that you should probably be apologizing to every passenger that exits your aircraft. I could give some ridiculous examples, but I think my point is already quite clear. Our inputs to management generally have some credibility and normally don’t go upon deaf ears. Just remember, after pushback, it is your aircraft. Do you really want to be in charge of such a disastrous evolution? I’m just saying.------------

P.S. OK Buzz, you are a hard act to follow. Keep em cumming.

It is so simple. I've had two captains now ask me "what are you doing?" ... "Im making sure the FAs are going to get paid" ... "Oh, we're supposed to do that????" Ugh

Buzz,

It was an electronic bulletin a couple of weeks (months?) ago. I think you only need to do it with a fNW Crew - which I have yet to see on the LAX 73N.

If your lead FA is fNW, you have to enter their fNW employee number into ACARS otherwise they don't get "lead pay"
