Guest slinkYcaT Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Yes. Hearsay is Sin-London, PVG, PEK SYD. It's so much better than SQ coz SQ consists of turn around, indian flts which i hate it so much lol....I guess in terms of destination variety, SQ is sooooooo much better than BA ... I mean, LON, PVG, PEK, SYD ???? Kinda boring destination i reckon. With SQ, you get to fly to such destinations as Istanbul, Moscow, Houston, New York, San Francisco, Cairo, Rome, Tokyo, San Paulo etc, etc. Too bad flights to Athens have been discontinued. I remember going on a 3-islands tour and enjoying myself very much . And of course haggling for cheap souvenirs at the flea market of Plaka and going up the Acropolis to view the majestic scenery of the city ...Ah.... Those were the good ol' days xoxo.

Guest Guest Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 thanks.anyway, $36k pa is really really low for a cabin crew.20 yrs ago, it was already higher than this.Yea works out to be only 3k per month. BA crew used to earn much higher than this. With this pay and limited destinations, not quite worth it if u are an ex SQ crew.But BA turnover rate is very low, not like SQ where people come and go after a few years.EK is another good airline to work for. They give u full furnished accommodation in dubai but u must be based there. But there are free tickets back home yearly and u get quite a no. of sg flights.CX also takes in local stewardesses but not sure for stewards. One requirement is that u must be able to speak cantonese. QF also has a high no. of asian crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fab Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Flying to a few fixed cities can be good or bad.But getting a pay lower than that of 20 yrs ago is definitely bad.

Guest Guest Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 to be fair, BA pay maybe lower but u r only required to fly to that few fixed cities.i think its good n predictable.depends on how u see it. predictable can be very boring, rather than being able to fly to many cities.however, u are likely to see the same faces everytime and if u click with them, u will have an enjoyable flight.
