hi,

eg

10 May 07: SIN - Seoul
11 May 07: Day Off in Seoul
12 May 07: Seoul - San Fransisco
13 May 07: Day Off in San Fransisco
15 May 07: San Fransisco - Seoul
16 May 07: Day Off in Seoul
17 May 07: Seoul - SIN

After this flight pattern, 3 days off in SIN

Sometimes you get 2 days off overseas as well. eg Paris...you reach Paris on Monday morning at say 7 am...and you leave on wed morning. so even though on paper you hve 1 day off...you actaually have 2 days!

don't forget the days off you get in seoul and frisco. those are rest days as well. all the time you're there you're collecting your meal allowance. and iirc, for the winter patterns you get an extra day off in frisco. A very nice and relaxed pattern. many people even bring their partners along because the many days off you get allows for plenty of sight seeing.

Can i ask, how long in advance will u get to know your roster? And each time do they give you your one whole month roster all at one shot? Or they give it to you on weekly basis?

you get to rest while in seoul & frisco as well leh! then u come back and get 2-3 days off, isn't that even better than office work 5 days and get 2 days off? plus not forgetting you can do some sightseeing & shopping overseas. :)

Really?? Wow... one month in advance... Can change flight somemore. But are there any restrictions when changing flights? For example, do they penalise u if u change flights too often?

Oh yah, not sure if u can advise me on this, do flight stewardess have annual leave?? If yes, how many days per year?? Are we allowed to take leave during probation period??[/quote]

Allocated? U mean we can't choose the dates to take leave??

Btw, our pro-rated annual leave is based from the day we start our training? Or from the day we start our probation??
