Despite all of the negative factors that are involved with the job of working for a charter or no-frills airline (I've done both!) I think that there are a lot of benefits to the job as well. Even though it's not the glamorous career it once was, I still have had the opportunity to; visit new places (either as a nightstop or getting ridiculously cheap crew rates), meet interesting people (from celebrities, to "celebrities", to those who just have a compelling urge to inform me why they're travelling), learn more about different cultures & had time to pursue hobbies & alternative careers like writing & drama.
I wouldn't call it a dream job, but it can be a fun one with a good group of co-workers & nice passengers the job is great. It only takes one rowdy group of pax or a real jobsworth of a purser to blacken the day!
