I am not looking for a roster which is perfect. But I have worked almost every weekend for 10 years, and for 10 years always recieved my very last annual leave choice - out of about 51 bids. That sucks.
A lot of seniors are lovely caring people. But some smugly state they don't do the galley, and they don't do duty free. And they brag in front of juniors with no choice about how great their rosters are and what they are doing in NYC , hnl , and other dream destinations juniors within a division with no future of movement can only ever day dream about.
Most senior Crew are lovely, but some seem to enjoy the two tier system my org has a little too much. I am really keen to hear about what emirates and all the other airlines do.
