Hello Spunksta22
Better think twice about giving up a full-time job, not only one with benefits, but one with a "guaranteed" source of income. I once worked for an airline for many years too and I'm well aware that airlines can be @ the mercy of what goes on in the world.
My airline career was @ it's peak throughout 9/11 and the SARS outbreak - it was bad enough worrying if the company decides to reduce or cancel some or most of it's operations - but @ least then being a full-time permanent employee you still get paid or if worse comes to worse - receive a redundancy package...
Also think of the fact your current company is still relatively "young". To me that's an advantage for you career-wise, e.g. career progression and you've got your foot in the door already.
And yes
the benefits
eventhough you could earn more money in a different industry, profession or a different company - the benefits of a permanent airline employee - combined with annual leave pay - still rock!

Im currently cabin crew with jetstar and wondering if its worth giving up my full time position with benefits for a casual position? Your advice would be greatly appreciated!!!
Also, would perth or brisbane be the better base.... I want as many overnights as I can get.
Finally, can you tell me roughly how many overnights a month I could expect and what cities they would be in from BNE/PER??
(it would certainly be nice not to have to clean the aircraft tho LOL!)
cheers
