WelshCityFlyer, unless you do long haule chances to get a proper break is quite unrealistic on short-medium haule...even worse in charter airlines where CA operate under minimun crew and are also involved in saling whatever is possible to pax...
To be honest with you I do short haule and if the crew is organized enough we also get the chance to have a seat down with a hot drink and something to eat even in a one hour flight!
In the worse of the cases as Flapsforty said it is possible to do it in turn-around.
However it's all part of the job! and really don't think Cabin Crew 89 could possibly help in this matter....
As I said it's all up to organization and to N.1
Agree with you that on a charter flight to Palma you don't get even the time to go to the loo...let alone to have something to eat...
My suggestion, not as dramatic as Steely's
is...try to change airline!!!
I flew for a charter airline for few months...deeply hated it...from the bottom of my heart, though I love the job (been flying since 1986!) So went to a scheduled airline!
