Onboard service

[lchristianes]

This afternoon, I was flying from London to Paris, using a terrible weather setting. No. I'm not masoquist, but I like to make things in a
different way, from time to time.
I had turbulence during the most part of the flight, and the flight attendants stopped to serve meals or drinks during this time, and never
got back to work, because the bad weather didn't break up, so it was terminated due to landing procedures, and I was penalized in 50
points.
No complaint about being penalized if I ordered onboard service too late (I didn't. All turbulence's fault), but in case of bad weather we
should be able to suspend service ourselves, so that we would be doing the right thing, instead of leaving this decision to the crew,
which would surely be mad at me if I ordered them to pour some coke to a passenger during a -200 fpm impact...
What do you think?

I agree that we should be allowed to suspend service to some extent. Sometimes it seems like the drink service takes a ridiculously
long amount of time, and I'd like to cancel or suspend it. When weather is a factor in ending any service on board, you shouldn't be
penalized though. I'm mainly referring to pilot points here. Most of the times when my drink service is interupted by descending, I notice
that I recieve a pilot penalty. Even though I authorized drink service too late, I don't think I should be penalized as a pilot! I could see
possibly getting a bad PAX rating, but nothing more than that.

That's wonderful! Finally Brad agrees with me...
