I agree with the above post.
While you hear stories of wild parties and orgies
, in my experience they certainly aren't the norm. I've been with the company for 2 & 1/2 years and more often than not crew just want to shop and sleep. This suits me as I'm not interested in getting wasted all trip and flying home hungover. In fact the pilots usually seem more up for partying than the crew!
There are certain trips which could be classed as 'party trips', ie caribbean, HKG etc..... and you get to know which trips are acceptable for chilling out and which trips are the ones where the pressure's on to go out.
As for the company, I actually think they're good to work for.... and this comes from someone who's just resigned!
You get loads of time off but this inevitably means that the pay ain't good, and getting promoted can be a bit of a mission if you aren't prepared to kiss ****.
