Without a soubt the charter crew work unbelievably hard in flight compared to the locos, but at the end of the day you have more crew per flight. You try doing a 6 sector AMS with 149 pax on a 35 min flt, and serve them all with drinks and clear in with only 3 crew! Thats hard work! This month I have 106 sectors! Surely from this amount of sectors, i have the experience behind me for quick promotion. after all we do have more responsibility? There is no need to wait 2 years for promotion to senior. I hate to say this, but it is most definately true, don't you think that the locos crew have to put up with the most !!!!! and abuse from the scummy pax? Not a day goes by that someone isn't spitting in my face with rage. Being able to deal with that is enough experience for me!
