The older atilla-the-hun flight attendants may have the experience to know not
to bring scolding host liquids anywhere near a baby. But a young inexperienced
upstart may not.

Both may have the basic training on how to open doors in case of emergency and
how to push people onto the chute if the hesitate, but it is their in-flight
experience that teaches them  about possible incidents.

I bet that FA will never again serve hot coffee or tea unless the baby is
secure and out of reach in case of turbulence or other distraction.

I'd put that one in either of "Transat doesn't have adequate training of the
FAs on how to serve coffee" or "Transat FAs are much younger with much less
experience" (or a combination of both)
