Hi flowerduet - congratulations
The 777 has either 10 or 11 crew depending on whether it is a 3 class or 4 class route (coming back from Tampa this morning we had 10 crew as it didn't have first class. One cabin manager, one purser and 8 main crew) - the 737 has a minimum of 3 crew which tends to be the norm unless the club loads are higher when you get a 4th crew member. LGW have the A319 but I am not on it yet and more are coming apparantly to replace the older 737's. No drop down screens on the 737 (if only!).
As for trips - well as a new crew member I didn't expect to see the caribbean for ages but have got 2 Barbados trips this month and this was my first month of bidding!
Enjoy!
