It sounds like you've really thought this through. If I were in your shoes, I'd do the same thing. I have seen first hand the decline in morale, and it isn't fun for anyone. Actions speak much louder than words, and many flight attendants
say they still love their job; I haven't heard any crew say, "that was a great flight," in years.
