No regrets of not having ended up as cabin crew though, had enough with serving people on coaches but the drivers obviously weren't as fanciable as pilots and certainly didn't earn that much.
they need to bring back the old rule books and put the class back into cabin crew. standards have fallen greatly over the last 10 years.

It used to be a hobby at sea as there was bugger all else to do when at sea for 6 months and 6 weeks between ports.

So the crew are probably bored silly with all this spare time

its not their fault.
Do you know where they keep the Swiss crew in Dubai?

It is their high self-worth that they think they have coupled with many people drooling all over them

I tend to avoid the airline, don't fancy getting stranded but the last time I flew was only between London and Zurich and they seemed to have put some ground staff in which seemed ripe for retirement but there seemed to be some nice catches at Jebel Ali Hotel the last time I visited.
