I cannot see why the airlines cant provide a smarter look. Polo shirts would be a happy medium, they are casual but look a little smarter than a thin t-shirt. No one is saying the should employ a fashion designer but smart uniforms create an impression, even supermarket staff have better uniforms than those LCCs.

And I avoid no-frills carriers where possible. The trouble is the are spreading and it is difficult to find a full-service carrier on some routes. I used to make use of BD from EMA but then they switched all the flights to WW. I do sometimes use WW EMA-EDI but with reluctance and if the price isnt too excessive I go LBA-EDI with BD and get a proper service!

Well, like most people, I travel with whoever can get me there safely and for the most reasonable price, because at the end of the day, I am travelling because I want/need to go somewhere, not because I want to eat (that’s where restaurants are handy) and not because I want to see people wearing nice clothes, as I couldn’t really give a toss about what anyone else wears. It would be rather boring if all cabin crew wore the same style of clothing, no?
You’ll love this…..years ago, I flew MAN/VIE with Lauda Air (a full service carrier then, if they are not now) and would you believe that the cabin crew were wearing jeans and a waistcoat!! I confess, it didn’t ruin the experience for me at all. Oh my god!! 😮 SHOCK!! 😮 HORROR!! 😮 – how many sick bags would you have needed on this particular flight? :rolleyes:

I have only ever seen one on the ground, in a bit of a nasty state too (at GLA I think – Mr. Frew??). Never heard, or felt one take off. There are so many planes I’d love to have flown on, but I’m just not old enough! Well, I am old enough, but not of a sufficient age to have experienced flying on them ……. ah hell, you know what i mean! :rolleyes:

If I remember correctly, one per 50 seats is the rule, more are provided by airlines that want to provide a better service than the minimum cover can provide. So, 3 on a 149 seat 737 and 1 on a 49 seat Jungle Jet is the legal minimum.

That’s as I understand it too Skymonster.

Last time I flew as a passenger LTN/GIB/LTN, with ZB, I was handed a questionnaire on board the return sector (as were all my fellow passengers) asking around 20 questions to do with the on-board service. The results eventually led to the decision to cut the free preset meal and drinks and to replace it with a varied optional menu, at a reasonable cost. Perhaps that answers your last question?

Whether you choose to fly with ZB again or not, you’re going to have to just simply accept that this is the way ZB are these days. It’s not going to change back. :rolleyes:

As much as I love Inverness to bits, being Scottish and all that, I still think that it was a brave choice in the first place for a service to Stockholm. I think SAS made a mess of snowflake and as someone has already pointed out, national carriers haven’t yet mastered the lo-co model when setting up these off-shoots. Will they ever strike, erm, I mean learn. :rolleyes:

Cracking pics – thanks for sharing. 🙂
