What's the appeal of being crew (flight or cabin) nowadays? In the 60s and 70s it was glamourous, but now the conditions are:-
a jumbo/plane full of moaning/demanding paxs, waiting on people with no gratification, a cramped, dirty galley, trays of juices to the ceiling, vile jet lag while sitting on a crew seat at 2am with hours to go, crew rest in an area that is cleaned once a year, cosmic radiation, minimum rest downroute (24hrs in SYD/MEL...).....all in the name of cheap standby travel (praying you'll get on!). Please enlighten me.
