Hi Sunnysunny,

"I was wondering how many flights do u need to operate each month? is pay good? etc..."

Best place to look is through the posts already on this thread to date.

As JAL-Stacey says you can expect the following:

7 flights rostered a month, each covering 3 days.

Plenty of standby days

Several back to backs - i.e. arrive back from New York / Dubai and out again straight away the next day.

Personally I find these very hard, and the most I have had is 3 in a row, after which only 2 days off, absolutely exhausted due to the lack of sleep!!!

Pay is industry average:

Cabin Crew £10500 plus £2.75 an hour duty pay (dp)

IFSC £14000 (£14500) plus dp

IFM £17000 plus dp

As JAL-Stacey says around £1500 a month after tax, anything over that and you'll know you have worked for it.

There are many people leaving / off sick at the moment so don't figure on not being called on your standby days. Best way of describing it is long-haul flying on a short-haul roster!!

Interview process appears to pick out the 'quite ones', although I cannot directly comment on this having been with the company for a year now.

Promotion - yes there is, but it's hugely competitive within the company and there is plenty of back-stabbing going by people to achieve what they want.

Best advice to you, quoting what other people have said - ' is the grass isn't always greener' - meaning if you are broadly happy where you are, then it's probably not worth the gamble!


Have a good read of everything that everyone has said on this thread and then make up your own mind, but for what it's worth I am trying to leave!


If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to ask.


Good luck job hunting!
