Best fleet I have flown, worst crewing department

Cabin Manager · WAW · Jun 2026

Regional jetAgency3-7 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

Modern fleet, well maintained.

Cons

Commuting policy is far stricter than it reads.
