I hope it exceeds their expectations and is ratified.

Dont put up with bad attitudes? That’s a joke . Half of them have horrible attitudes, like someone forced them into that job.

This is the most intractable problem that no amount of money will solve. It exists across all labor groups but the two primary customer facing ones are the most critical, at least for NPS and other things managers find interesting to measure.

i suppose that highlights the potential problem of service levels on aircraft that now have double the number of premium seats versus previous versions. with more premium comes higher pax expectations and needs. the fas can’t simply disappear. will they come with higher staffing levels?

Half have horrible attitudes? If you believe that 50% of our FAs have horrible attitudes I would suggest that you’re the common denominator in that equation. I have encountered a few, but no where near 50%.
