Icelandair fires all flight attendants after collective bargaining fails. Pilots now resposible for onboard safety
After prolonged negotiations Icelandair and Flugfreyjufélag Íslands (FFI) – the union that represents the cabin crew of the airline – have failed to reach an agreement on remuneration. The airline has therefore opted to fire all flight attendants currently working for the company and to seek a new representative to deal with. (icelandmonitor.mbl.is) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
"This is your captain speaking. Don't make me come back there!"

Watch out for 'The Hand'! Whoever it grabs is instantly guilty!

They pilots are only being asked to ensure on-board safety (which they were ultimately responsible for anyway). All they are being asked to do is switch on the passenger pre-flight safety demo on the PAX screens and do eyeball check (walk up and down the rows once) of PAX compliance instead of the FA doing these activities. Not much extra work really. If there are any medical emergencies then probably more PAX than FA can do the necessary CPR, call for a doctor on the PA etc.
