In such a way connecting times will be reduced from roughly two hours to just 40-60 minutes, depending on what flight you arrive. <br />I still believe Air Serbia needs an afternoon flight (around 14.00) to cater for the needs of the O&D folk. After all, that's how Austrian manages to fill its A320 at around that time.

And I was like why the hell would I smile if something is not funny. But I adapted over time and learned how to BS through life with a fake smile. Sadly, this is the norm and appearance is very important these days. Too bad the “old” crew couldn’t adjust to it in time <br /><br />I’m coming this summer and I’ll fly SJJ-TIV to avoid driving and JU is the only option of course-I watch where I leave my money. I travelled a lot due to my work but I’ll never forget the feeling I had that night when landing in BEG. That’s one of the rare flights that stuck in my memory. Young lady talking to her daughter who is visiting motherland for the first time, me talking to the FA and just seeing the city lights still brings tears to my eyes. You must be laughing at me now, expats are sad people LOL.SMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17992198326118720912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-60049315120374304152014-02-19T17:26:53.131+01:002014-02-19T17:26:53.131+01:00Today, during a break, we were standing in front o...Today, during a break, we were standing in front of one of JU's buildings smoking and next to us was the entrance to the crew centre. So many cabin crew passed by us and I have to say that they looked really nice. It was quite funny to watch the purser walk away towards the terminal with the younger crew. It looks like a mother duck followed by her ducklings. :D <br /><br />I could not agree more with you. The thing is that people in the Balkans do not smile all the time and that's fine. It's part of our culture, the same way the crew onboard Finnair, Lufthansa or Icelandair will not be smiling the whole time. The most important thing is for them to make you feel safe. No one can say that the JU crew was not professional prior to the takeover. Their behaviour was in line with the Serbian mentality, including its negative sides. Things are slowly changing which is a must if they wants to become a true international player. <br /><br />Hmm 2006 is a long time ago. The time is right for you to fly on Air Serbia. I am sure you will be impressed... once you recover from the shock. :)Nemjeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09529227010459770718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-54748167711824850142014-02-19T15:53:35.612+01:002014-02-19T15:53:35.612+01:00And it is not!

Hopefully most of them were close enough to retirement age that they could get something like early retirement. On the other hand, its good for bunch of young people. We all know how hard it is for younger generation to find meaningful employment in Serbia. I guess “dok nekom ne smrkne, drugom ne svane”.<br /><br />My last memory of JAT was from 2006 when I flew LHR-BEG-LHR. Completely white livery, two older female and two older male FAs. It was definitely something you don’t see as much in most of the airlines. You could see they have tons of experience, very good in what they do, very mechanical in their motions (something we all become with numerous repetitions) but also lack that customer service touch (as many of our people in our countries) that people expect these days. For me it was cute and reminded me of how my parents were and how we all grew up. No BS, no nonsense, no fake smile, just do my job and move on kind of approach. Right or wrong, that approach is not customary in any of the customer facing jobs these days, especially airlines so I’m not surprised new mgmt. had to make big changes. In NA airlines (AC, United etc.) you’ll find good number of older FAs, especially on longer routes but I think past the age of 50 most of them get tired of flying and move to some planning or training roles.<br />SMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17992198326118720912noreply@blogger.com
