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
Commuting policy is far stricter than it reads.

Senior Cabin Crew · ADD · Jan 2026
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
Modern fleet, well maintained.
Cons
Roster changes constantly, right up to the day.

Cabin Crew · ADD · Oct 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
Commuting policy is far stricter than it reads.

Senior Cabin Crew · ADD · Jul 2025
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
Good route mix, not the same four sectors forever.
Cons
Crewing is unreachable when it matters.
