Cathay attendants in more-seats moan
Cathay Pacific flight attendants have complained that the distribution of meals is taking longer since the carrier added more seats to its flights. Starting this April, the airline increased the number of seats per row from 9 to 10 in economy class on some Boeing aircraft. As a result, each seat has been narrowed from 46.99 to 43.43 centimetres. The Flight Attendants' Union conducted a survey last month, where members said they were overwhelmed by the increased workload. Although there are more seats on the plane, the union told the media that the number of crew members remained the same, meaning each flight attendant has to serve more passengers. The union also said there have been an increasing number of complaints from passengers, and hopes the airline can review its plan to add more seats on aircraft. <br/>
