Private jet cabin crew

Congratulations for a new job opportunity!
Depends on how you got head hunt, but the owner of the private jet? Or by a jet company? I would say if you don't knew much about the industry, all the friend advice from all the crew here are very helpful and true.
Private life and your preferred life style need to be taken into serious consideration as you are yes, 24/7 in call.
As in the UAE, unless you are part of or understands the culture very well, you could be just a 'servant' to the owner; since you can't choose owner if you are just joining a company, it will really be your lucky day if you end up with a flexible and understanding boss.
Otherwise, life could be hell, I simple go to work for better money (yes way better the being the 'red army'), otherwise that there is no job satisfaction, you simple just your around and be away from home, that also depends how busy and how often your boss flies. Sometimes, the aircraft could be owned by several owners and that means you will be on your feet almost 360 days a year!
Others, in commercial, you can just have to bear with some disgusting crew for a trip, and that is it, you may never see them again, but here in private, you stuck with the same pilots for as long as...who knows.
Sometimes the pilots in private has very different mentality than commercial pilots.
Last, all the best whatever you decide.
