What's absurd is the notion that CEO rhetoric repeated over and over for two decades has absolutely no impact on employee behavior.

First of all, I feel sorry for the OP that his thread has been hijacked and turned into such a debate. This thread should've been one with a simple resolution, yet, sadly, it wasn't

It was an honor to work the SMDII charter and meet several FTers up close and personal. But despite that great experience, I can't help but to understand why so many of my colleagues don't get it and have negative opinions of this website, all because of a few bad apples.

I spent two days catering to every need (and frankly, breaking FAR after FAR) for a group of passengers that, by association, doesn't believe flight attendants have the right to eat a decent meal, even if it is by way of calling it a poor management decision.

It's kind of sad that as much as I have stuck up for FTers over the years, and even proudly sport a pink FT tag on my tote, there are still a$$holes on this site who are selfish, misinformed, downright ignorant, and ruin the reputation for others. I know the majority of FTers have no problem with FAs eating leftovers. And to those of you who have a problem with this - I say the following: F*** You. I say it proudly. With both arms extended, and middle fingers protuding from each fist. What do you expect us to do when you get a 2nd, but the next F passenger doesn't? What makes you so special? There are no seconds for F. Extra biscuits? Sure. Extra cinnamon rolls? Absolutely. But F meals are catered one per passenger. There is a huge difference in giving someone seconds in Y than in F. Anyone who fails to see logic in this needs to get over whatever complex they have. I really don't care what anyone feels about CO's policy of FAs being able to eat leftovers. It is what it is. And based on the responses from some of you, I have no shame in eating leftovers. To those of you who do get it, thank you.

To tame this thread a bit, what do any of you think the chances are of there being an extra Kosher meal in Y on either EWR-TLV or TLV-EWR?

I would say it's extremely doubtful.

I especially like how accuracy was of such importance. It's sort of funny that's brought up in the CO world, since I tend to get the sense that CO reps are more fixated on call times than accuracy, and I often feel that when I'm in a pickle, they're free to say or make up whatever they want in order to dispose of the call rather than assisting the customer.

WOW, I take back everything I said in support of FA's and the policies I was seeing as unfair, and well even inhumaine in my post (#44). From most of what I've read from you, you really don't have that much to take back...though, kind of childish to flip-flop your opinion from an animated post of mine and ruin it for the rest of my coworkers, eh? You're clearly angry, to the point you can't even see when someone is supportive of you and your profession. Good luck with that. Nah, just have no tolerance for ignorance, lack of common sense, and unmitigated selfishness.

I've had CO reps spend plenty of time on the phone with me in order to sort out issues.

Sssh ;) Now channa will be back to explain how this is an isolated incident, and not representative of the service offered by CO. No matter how many thousands of us regularly have such experiences ^

Here again "policy" bites the company in the butt. In the 1980's New Orleans had one of the most corrupt police forces in the country, and in fact was as bad as some pretty dicey third-world countries. A federal investigation discovered they were being paid a little more than $10K a year. Not hard to figure they are going to "supplement" their income.

If you want your employees to take good care of your customers, you need to take care of your employees first.
