Summary: Welcome to episode five of The Crew Lounge. This week we are joined by panelists Brad and Edith. The big news this week is British Airway's plan to train pilots and other airline workers to fill the role of flight attendant should the BA Flight Attendants strike. We also, discuss reserve status as a flight attendant or as we like to call it, "flying the couch." And of course we have some great questions from the cabin: How are airline crew hotel accommodations handled? Is it cool to come to the galley or should you ring your call button? What is the deal with commuting? and finally, how do we feel about quick turn arounds? If you have questions for us or you're a flight attendant and would like to join us on a future episode, please email us at FA@upgrd.com. Thanks for listening!
