Good aircraft, rostering is the problem

Upgrade timelines were roughly what I was told at interview. Commuting policy is the thing to check carefully before you sign, because it is much stricter in practice than the contract implies. [demo]

Pros

Modern fleet, well maintained.

Cons

Standby patterns are punishing.

Management listens on safety, nothing else

Cabin Crew · MAD · Mar 2026

WidebodySelf-employed0-1 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

Colleagues are excellent and crew rooms are decent.

Cons

Standby patterns are punishing.
