The CI FAs looked down on the BRs, and they know BR is second choice to CI in this aspect. As far as the BR FAs, they dislike the CI FA as well, but envied them in secret.
Granted, CI FA have the looks, but the safety record of BR is impeccable. But back to the original post, much much better than UA.
I can't tell from your "username" what gender you are, if you are a male, maybe you should fly CI and BR and see for yourself, if you are a female, well, don't take any offense, because these words came DIRECTLY from CI and BR FA's. Yes, CI are proud of their "looks", but rest assured, BR are proud of many many other things, for which, I wont get into here.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I don't know how one could possibly send the "second" choice to BR while keeping the "first" choice with CI.
Looks don't matter, the attitude of the F/As at CI or BR is fantastic and all in favor toward the flying customer. And that's all that counts. The Gulf cariers operate on the same principle and that's why they are successful as well. I used to fly CI but have switched to BR as they are *A, so I can speak with some authority. English is hit or miss, but never a problem. If you want to help or need help, there is always a way to communicate.
