Fair pay, no roster stability at all

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

Roster changes constantly, right up to the day.

Fine if you live at base, brutal if you commute

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

Roster changes constantly, right up to the day.

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.

Good aircraft, rostering is the problem

Cabin Crew · JED · Sep 2025

Regional jetDirect hire7+ yrsRecommends

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

Days off are theoretical.
