surely you know the cabin crew get rewarded for not calling in sick after a certain period of time (yes this is not a good practice for our industry but somehow companies in hk do reward staff either in cash or whatever as a reward for showing up on time etc).
And their reward is called a trump card which they can bid for 'special' patterned flights and they get that like 2 or 3 months in advance.... so yes, you know that standard crewing pattern we see for the next month, it only shows us the standard, but if you want a once off or once a week special flight like a short holiday in LAX or SFO or wherever it may be, the cabin crew do know at least couple of months in advance as opposed to us getting it by luck while the cabin crew gets rewarded for whatever they did previously....one eg, there was a 100 hours layover in Rome during Christmas last year, the cabin crew would know that like back in Oct and may be even earlier so they can bid for it, but because we don't even know those pattern will exist so there's no way for us to request those either, may be the company doesn't want us to know how many flights they cancelled well in advance
