If you manage people, you know building and maintaining trust is the foundation of a strong culture.

And that was exactly the case: the way the captain and the senior flight attendant spoke made me question their competence which was unnerving because my very life was just about to be in their hands for an hour and a half. It was a very unpleasant feeling.
