One bug-bear of mine on short-haul is that half the crew don’t hand out the menus, even when they are loaded.
I had a few AF intra-Europe J flights last week and all were excellent with great crew.
All crew looked quite experienced and knew what they were doing, so I assume they were protected by a strong union and the French state during Covid and not subject to redundancies across the board, and hence they don't work for a company which needs desperately staff so it lowers the entry standards and hires experienced TikTokers who do the job for the reel/ gram/ followers.
