That was my experience before as well, but I have had quite many bad crews on the HEL-OSL-HEL routes lately. They're more busy fiddling around in the galleys than greeting passengers when entering the plane, they haven't developed the muscles to smile, and when coming out with the BOB trolley they're too busy gossiping than actually saying "thank you" when paying etc.

Perhaps they're better up front, I sit twice per week in the back.

There used to be a year ago quite often this one blonde woman on this route who was really outstanding. She really seemed to love her job. I haven't seen her for a long time now.
