A traveler saw two flight attendants dashing through a crowded airport at the busiest time of the day. "Why are they running as if their lives depended it," asked the traveller to the person to his right. The person replied, "They just finished a shift and hope to start the next one in time. Sometimes those schedules can be brutal."
As a traveller have you ever wondered what happens to the flight crew once you off-board a flight? Where do they go after their shift? How many back-to-back shifts are they allowed to do? Do they make their schedules or is it something given to them? How do they get back home if they are in a different city and it's their last shift?
These and many more are questions put into consideration in order to understand a-day-in-the-life of a crew member.
