Great colleagues, exhausting month after month

Cabin Crew · PEK · Nov 2025

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

Roster changes constantly, right up to the day.

Solid contract, the reality does not match it

First Officer · PVG · Oct 2025

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

Commuting policy is far stricter than it reads.
