Over all I have now 3 years as a cabin crew with Air Arabia and still planing to stay
Things that I like:
> Salary is good comparing to other companies in Europe or Africa.
I'am saving good amount of money.
> You work comfortable and you don't feel someone is watching you like what is happening in Emirates or qatar airways
> Standby tickets and 90% discounts from other airlines so you go back to your home country a lot of times during the year
Things that I did not like:
> wearing the apron during the service
> no crew meal is provided you will have to bring your food or buy from the flight catering
> small aircrafts all are A320 type in long flights more than 5h (moscow, Kiev, nairobi, urumqi...) you get bored
