Scene: last night, on BA821 from CPH to LHR. FAs are taking the dinner trays back in Club Europe, tray by tray. One FA has taken my tray and my seatmate's and is following a colleague who has a tray in one hand and who stops to ask a passenger if the pax had already finished eating. Passenger decides to have a little chat so the FA obliges, pausing with one hand holding one tray and the other beginning to reach for the chatty passenger's tray, while holding a conversation. Meanwhile, the second FA tiptoes around his colleague to get to the galley with his two trays. All this, while the plane is going through some mild turbulence that has triggered the "fasten seat belts" sign. Not a crumb dropped, not a single tray seemed in danger of spilling its contents onto a passenger.
With my sense of (im)balance, had I been an FA, I would've had a hefty drycleaning bill to pay on behalf of passengers around me.
I commended the FA when he returned with my Baileys (got me two instead of just one), and he just chuckled. "I'm usually less unsteady than this. I usually don't develop a case of 'air legs'."
Full flight, but a really enjoyable one, thanks to the FAs who seemed to enjoy what they were doing.
(P.S. The second reason I couldn't be an FA, is that I'd find quite a few of the passengers to be self-important boors I'd rather not force a smile for. )
