Well in response to Lotflyer and Virginfsm,
This is my roster for next month so it should give you some idea.
3 days off
3 day Damascas
3 days off
2 days sby
4 day Beirut (shuttle to alexandria on 2nd night)
1 day off
5 day Tbilisi
2 days off
5 day Amman (Shuttle to Addis Ababa on 2nd night)
2 days standby
1 day off
Minimum trip at the moment is 3 days and maximum is 5 days. We never do there and back!
As far as wages go this is a typical average. Cabin crew 1300 - 1600, Assistant Pursers 1400 - 1700, Pursers 1700 - 2000.
I think the starting salary for cabin crew is around £11,000 (Not 100% sure maybe a bit more) Then we are paid an hourly allowance of approx £2.55 an hour from the moment you check in until the the time you get back to LHR. And this is paid into your salary and not in local currency down route etc.
Hope this all helps.
