Nothing much to add to this as you can probably understand, I’m flabbergasted :

MY Bday
On a positive [...]
So you’ve probably guessed where I’ll be heading in May ! I didn’t expect much from Crew Scheduling this month as I was supposed to get a whole long month of reserve, homecalls and airport standby. None of that, nada, nicht, rien !! I got a full fledged roster with some nice layovers in tow [...]
[UPDATE] : I’ve got rid of what is probably the worst flight ever and the most shitious layover for a nice and easy Frankfurt cruise along. SOOOOOOOO HAPPY ! Not only does it relieve me, but I score along the way a string of 5 days off ! Papa, tu m’entends la ?
Eheheheheh. My roster [...]
[update] : I’ve managed to swap my KUL for a Colombo. Happy days ! Short flight + layover, you can’t beat it !And also DOPPLR graciously compiled an annual report on my travels for 2008 if you care to take a look. Very insightful statistics, especially the stuff about carbon dioxyde and hummers…. DOWNLOAD HERE [...]
Yesterday in Dubai was amazing. Sun was out (like today), people were out, temperatures are gradually going upwards. For many weeks I had been getting up at night and basically living like an howl. A Bombay turnaround later, I’m now in sync with the real world that surrounds me. I get up early, enjoy the [...]
It came as a surprise as I selected Jan 2009 from the dropdown menu on our portal for next months roster. Why so early ??? Is it because it’s Christmas ?? But my smile gradually reduced as I clicked through the duties for the entire month. I like variety and new destinations on my rosters, [...]
Nothing much to add for today. I will be mopping a water leak from the A/C and maybe going to MOEs. It’s an exilirating day off really ! I finally got my ass sat in a Jumpseat yesterday for a DAMn (Damascus) flight. Waited 6 hours before I got the call and then worked for [...]
Yes, that’s right. I’ll be sleeping with my telephone right next to me for the whole month of October (minus 11 days) cause it’s my reserve month. Probably the worst month a Cabin Crew doesn’t look forward to. Basically it means you’re on standby to fill gaps for missing/hangover/sick/depressed/partygoers colleagues. You’re at home hanging over [...]
This month is my top bid, after working like a British Airways FA last month doing back to backs of Turnarounds and such here is my roster for September !! Share your anger in the comments.

At the end of every month the adrenaline rush starts to pump frantically in anticipation of the rosters and payslips. It’s the best moment as we’re able to see where we’ll be heading for the next month. Not only that, it enables us to sketch a plan of some sort for the month ahead too. [...]
Jeezz, never ate so much in such a short lapse of time. It was Nivine’s birthday yesterday, 25th. So we had to make things big. We booked a table at Shangri-La’s for the evening Buffet which is amazing. That is where we went 4 months ago for our graduation party dinner and boy it was [...]
Good start with nice layovers, a Brazil stint and a wild BKK also ! But look, the end of my month is hell !

Hey ya’ll.
IMPORTANT INFO : My roster is published every month, you can view it on the left hand side of the webpage. It might change here and there according to scheduling. But generally speaking it will remain the same. It just for those in desperate need of accurate information (I’m thinking of you Dad !!) [...]
