777-300 and 777-300ER are the same for all intents and purposes. It wouldn't surprise me if most CX cabin crew were all qualified for A330, A350 and 777.

As far as pilots are concerned there are only two aircraft type ratings. 777 and A330/350.

Meal requests are one thing but pax behavior as well. Many occasions on India flights the lavatories get abused so heavily they become borderline inoperable. (Honestly since I know the same person prepares my meals and takes care of the lav, I really don't understand why people are okay/feel fine with their 'liberalism' at the lav.)

That being said, as far as I know, I certainly don't imply it's like this all the time/for everyone, and again some crew love India flights for the $, hotels and laundry services there.

India is known as 'shake head country' by HKG crew.

Except for outport base, all CX crew are trained on all sorts of aircraft. (As soon as the company is able to get them trained)

Was wondering the same. Am considering CX PEY for my fall India trip. Usually fly AA/BA but CX PEY will help me requal for status so why not.

The airline you fly on makes little difference. I know BA crew dislike the routes too.
