Feedback: Fill & Download for Free

Simple. A microphone-speaker feedback loop does not produce ever increasing volume without increasing input level.A microphone-amplifier-speaker feedback loop does.An amplifier takes power from a power source, like batteries or a wall mounted electrical outlet connected to the electricity mains. If you turn the amplifier off, the feedback loop stops.

Never, ever give in to a tantrum. The only way to deal with them is to do nothing. No reaction at all. Any kind of feedback will be seen as positive feedback for the behavior. And for crying out loud never “give them what they want” in that situation unless you enjoy the crying.As soon as they figure out they can’t get what they want, they’ll stop doing it.

One of the interesting things Crew have that many passengers don't know about is the ‘’crew rest compartments’’ we have on board certain aircraft. On long-haul flights, for example, flights 14+ hours, we get 4–5+ hours break. The breaks crew get is located somewhere in the plane. There is a secret door somewhere on board that looks like this:(Image: 5 cushy crew rest areas: Cathay Pacific, United, Singapore, Qantas, Delta - TravelSkills)It depends on various aircraft types if we take the stairs up to sleep or stairs down. Depending on aircraft type the rest compartments looks different:(Image: China leads with 787 dash)(Image: https://www.ausbt.com.au/photos-the-airbus-a380-s-secret-hangout-zone-for-cabin-crew)It is great resting/sleeping in there. I always feel like I am on board a ship when being in those areas. It is actually super fun to climb/take the stairs up or down to these rest areas.One secret that perhaps many passengers don't know about and we never tell, is that some lavatories (WC) on board can get unlocked from the outside.We lock the lavatories during takeoff and landing. We lock the lavatories during various situations too. But it is good to know how to unlock the door from the outside if you are a passenger and for example, you have a child who suddenly can’t open the door from the inside. We have had passengers who have gotten some kind of panic attack inside the lavatories. We would simply unlock the door as it is shown above in the photo. You just swipe that metal handle to unlock it.The meals we get on board are always frozen. We heat them up during service time. The meals on board are obviously not the healthiest.The crew can give out freebies to whomever they like. The key here is to be super nice and fingers crossed you connect with a crew who will be nice enough to give you those freebies. Sometimes if the crew are nice they can give you free amenity kits, snacks, and ice cream from business class. It all comes down to the connection you will create with the Cabin Crew.There are various monitors on board. For example, the crew can turn off call bells via those monitors as they wish. If you press the call bell but notice that no one is coming to assist you and the call bell light goes off, press it again.If you want extra snacks, drinks, and meals, etc., it is better for you to go to the galley (kitchen) and ask for it. The crew prefers passengers to come to the galley and ask for extra things instead of pressing the call bell. The crew often gets in a bad mood when someone presses that call bell. You get on the crew’s better side if you go to the galley yourself.A funny/interesting story I like to share. I once had a passenger ask me if he could get an amenity kit from business class. Usually, passengers are not aware of amenity kits from business class. Anyhow this passenger did know about this. I told him to let us do a trade. I told him that I would give him an amenity kit from business class if there are any left. I told him that in return that I would love for him to write feedback to the airline about me and my excellent service/performance on board. He agreed to the deal. The reason why I told the passenger to write feedback about my performance on board is that the feedbacks the airlines get about the crew are worth GOLD for us.A few weeks later my performance manager emailed me and informed me that a passenger on board xxxxx flight, had written an excellent ‘thank you’ feedback in regards to my performance on board. My performance manager thanked me for my service and mentioned ‘’keep up the good work’’. This letter will be saved in my performance file. The more positive letters/feedback we have from passengers, the greater chance we have to get promoted. Some airlines give their crew various bonuses if they get positive feedback from passengers. Although with the airline I work at, we don't get bonuses. These positive letters sent by passengers can truly boost a crew’s career. In the airline, I work at, the more positive letters the higher chance of getting promoted quicker.I rarely ask passengers to write positive feedback about my service/performance on board. I like the feedback to be authentic and come naturally from the passengers without us asking. But most often passengers have no idea that they can write feedback about the crew and their service/performance on board. If they know, a high % don't write any feedback at all because it is such a hassle for people and crew are the last thing on folk’s minds when they go off the plane.Anyhow in that case I had with that passenger, I thought it would be a fun trade. He got a fun/awesome amenity kit from the business class and I got excellent feedback. It was a win-win situation for both of us.EDIT:If you are curious about how to send feedback about a crew member and their service/performance on board:How can I write a feedback for a cabin crew?
