Some crew still continue to put the flags on.
And, some crew don't speak a foreign language.
Really? When did BA drop the requirement for cabin crew to speak another language?
Admission time here, but I have a clear recollection when I applied to be BA cabin crew (admittedly back in 1997) that it was a core part of the process. Interview 4 of 5 was the foreign language interview, and it ran a streak of fear among many.
