Great colleagues, exhausting month after month

Cabin Manager · OSL · May 2026

NarrowbodySelf-employed0-1 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

Safety reporting is taken seriously.

Cons

Roster changes constantly, right up to the day.

Cabin Manager · ARN · Jan 2026

NarrowbodySelf-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

Pay arrives on time, every month.

Cons

Crewing is unreachable when it matters.
