How about:
working weekends AND holidays
working 16 hour days
getting paid less than the senior f/a working on my plane (not anymore thank God)
spending 6 nights per week in a hotel (if commuting)
But all is temporarily forgotten if a new young hot f/a or two show up on a 4-day with long layovers eager to learn.........operating procedures, of course. What did you think I meant?
