To often crew are hurt and never properly taken care of medically because someone need's a drink on a 20 minute flight. So on my plane, my saftey come's before anything. I have been hurt before and it was due to this exact reason. What's lazy and cheap is the fact that a person can't properly hydrate themselves before a short flight. NOW THAT'S LAZY!

Crew member's should never put themselves in danger to dish out a drink on a flight 35 minute flight's and under. The entire flight the plane is asending and desending and it's horrible on the body.

Now do you understand the point being made?

What I did say is there is no single reason, why a crew member should put themselves in harmes way to dish out 6 ice cube's and 1oz of soda. If the loads are light it can be done, but if you're flying on a 757-300 and the flying time is 25 mintue's, by time we "level" or if we even do the cart has just been set up. It's now time to put it right back, since we need to prepare for landing. So if a free drink on a 25 minute flight is what you get giddy about when you pay for that ticket, you have bigger fish to fry.

I assume you now only fly on BA for that type of service?
