money aint good but aint that bad either.

about 1200 1400 per month dependant on nightstops, which some get them all and some get non.

rosters are printed 10 weeks in advance but you have to call crewing after every duty to pick up changes which leaves you wide open for massive disruption to your life. You get around 200 planned duty hours per month printed on your roster. Mostly 4 sector days. Forget flexibility for your own priorities the management dont think your life is worth considering, they have something called gatekeepers where a manager will consider your request and either deny it or allow it....keep in mind the word gatekeeper and visualise a Rottweiller. Got it? Its short haul so that means do as your told the operation must come first which is only right but they are running so tight on crewing levels there is no room for flexibility.

On the upside you might get promoted to a cabin services performance manager within the year as the company dont want any old hands who might rock the boat. Its a great place for those that are new and know no better, for the senior people its an insulting boot camp. But the crew are wicked and if you keep well away from managers you will have a great time.

The interview wont be that hard they are so desperate they are probably doing house calls by now.
