Best fleet I have flown, worst crewing department

Cabin Crew · MAN · Mar 2026

Regional jetDirect hire0-1 yrsRecommends

Fatigue reports get acknowledged and then closed with no change. Safety reports are handled properly, so it is clearly a crewing problem rather than a culture problem, but that does not help when you are on your fourth…

Pros

Safety reporting is taken seriously.

Cons

Crewing is unreachable when it matters.

Upgrade came on time, everything else slipped

Cabin Crew · MAN · Mar 2026

WidebodySelf-employed7+ yrsRecommends

The roster is published on the 25th and changes several times before the month starts. Days off get rostered and then removed at short notice, which makes anything outside work impossible to plan. [demo]

Pros

Colleagues are excellent and crew rooms are decent.

Cons

Commuting policy is far stricter than it reads.

Good aircraft, rostering is the problem

Cabin Manager · MAN · Jan 2026

WidebodyAgency7+ yrsRecommends

Pay lands on time and the per diems are accurate, which is more than I can say for my last airline. What wears you down is the standby pattern and how late the changes come through. [demo]

Pros

Modern fleet, well maintained.

Cons

Standby patterns are punishing.

Good aircraft, rostering is the problem

Cabin Manager · DUB · Aug 2025

TurbopropDirect hire7+ yrsRecommends

Sick leave is not held against you, which matters more than people expect. The trade-off is a roster that assumes you will always be available on days off. [demo]

Pros

Pay arrives on time, every month.

Cons

Days off are theoretical.

Fine if you live at base, brutal if you commute

Cabin Crew · DUB · May 2025

WidebodySelf-employed1-3 yrsRecommends

Contract said one thing about days off and the reality is consistently two or three fewer a month. Everything else has been broadly as advertised. [demo]

Pros

Good route mix, not the same four sectors forever.

Cons

Crewing is unreachable when it matters.
