Hey
Money is good - although this year we have more crew and money is less than last year - We can bid for flights though and swaping flights is really easy so you can get extra flights - I have just come off a RHO night flight that I took from someone else - ( AM I MAD !!) - We do lots of nights so that makes you tired - eg..
Fri - BHX/DLM/BHX got back at 0700 then same night I did an IBZ and got back at 0300 on Monday morn then had 2 days off and I have just done RHO night flight and got home at 0800 this morn I am on a lovely MAH tomorrow nice times then a YYZ and YUL on Sat I get home Monday and have 2 days off then a ACE Thursday and then that DLM friday....its a very varied rosta tho i like it.. On average we work 16 days a month including stand by but as I say you can bid for flights and swap and change as long as we give one weeks notice...
Salary is basic plus 12% commission and flight pay on top - The most I brought home last summer was approx £1400...
I have never flown with Sced airline but i would guess that Charter is much harder work - as we do lots of services and the cabin presence is always there - even on a PMI we do 5-6 services and thats a two hour flight...
EG - Last night RHO...
Headset service with snacks / Drinks / Wine / Scratchcards / Meal / tea and coffee / Clear in / Tax free / Drinks / clear in then land turn around was 40-45 mins then did it all again on way home !!!!!
What was funny we had 5 blokes on the flight ( crew) and the CM was female - was really funny but we had a fantastic flight and was good fun too...
Our Training was in BHX hotel and all wet drills and slides done at BY at EMA...
Working in stores is open to all staff - I went on a one day course last year in NOV and there were two crew from EMA going in to shops in Leicester and Derby...
Hope that helps !
Standard Jet - Not sure who you mean !!!!
MR "F" has gone to EMA - was a CM/Purser at BHX he DEFFO deserves it we all really miss him at BHX loved flying with him but he is doing really well....
