Learnt of this recently from some cabin crew :
I'd always assumed that on long haul flights, the crew gets to stay a couple of days, then return. Apparently on some flights to Europe (including destinations with high frequency like London), SIA is flying 2 sets of crew at any one time. One set works, the other set is flown there as passengers. They stay just 1 night and the very next day, they are fly back. The first set now gets flown as passenger, while the second set works.
Apparently this arrangement co-exists with the traditional 1 set of crew + couple of days rest arrangement.
Anyone heard of this before?
