the pilot is the pilot, but 80% of the crew is, if the plan is to got from A to B. Maybe a second pilot for backup is a good idea, but is cabin crew selling lottery tickets on flight?
- everforward 4y agoThe cabin crew is there to keep control of the passengers. Keep people from smoking, make there aren't fights over masks, make sure nobody downs a whole bottle of whisky they bought in the duty free store and proceeds to do God knows what. Even the cheap airlines have cabin crew; they're not there for the hell of it.
- nindalf 4y agoBut it’s a great analogy because a layman looks at an airline operation and thinks “yeah I can do this without the crew”. They’re wrong, just like all the people who think they can run Twitter with 20 good men.
