Pros
Decent work-life balance compared to some other airlines — rostered days off are generally respected. • Flying long-haul European routes in Finnair uniform can look impressive externally. • Great colleague support — the crew community is professional, kind, and the only real source of motivation.
Cons
Very low salary by Singapore standards, especially considering the demands of long-haul flying. • Shockingly low insurance coverage — death benefit is only SGD 5,000, which is unacceptable in this line of work. • No job security — contracts are unstable, and decisions are often made without proper communication. • Unequal treatment — AAP crew work beside Finnair-employed crew but are paid and treated far worse. • No career growth — no training, promotions, or advancement opportunities within AAP. • Detached and unresponsive management — crew often operate without real support or guidance. • Wellbeing is overlooked — high fatigue, long sectors, and little attention to mental or physical health.
