1. 2-5 sectors a day.
2.45min to 1 hour turnaround generally.
3. Initially same crew but with different flight/cabin crew rostering sometimes two cabin crews in one day.
Flying for the Swiss we had the same cabin crew for the week’s work with the exception of a jumper for the larger DC9.
4. In BEA welcome speech from the cockpit and on long sectors a stroll through the cabin which included first officers and invites to the cockpit especially crumpet.
In SR captain was expected to greet pax and thank them post flight. Most blocks of work included 2/3 night stops where we dinned together with the captain and copilot paying for the drinks bill..(in BEA/BA drinks were courtesy of the first class galley).
