Air cabin crew Competition for places with airlines is very intense. Air cabin crew are usually required to live near the airport where they are based. They could be based overseas as international cabin crew with a British airline. Hours of work can vary, and include weekends, nights and public holidays. The amount of time spent away from home may change from job to job. (Air cabin crew). ( Experienced staff may gain promotion to senior cabin crew ). Back to top
