Not quite sure what you mean by "CSD" and "Cabin In Charges".

Emirates Cabin Crew are classified as G2, G1, SFS and Purser in that progression. On most aircraft, the G2s work in Economy, the G1s in Business (FG1s in First), SFS are in charge of either the Business/Economy Cabins and the Purser is overall in charge/manages the First Class Cabin.

The weakest links are usually the G1s and the SFSs, especially on the 380 fleet. There are "acting" G1s on the 380 with less than a year of total flying experience and SFSs with only 18 months. I have a friend who made 380 Purser last year with only 3.5 years. In comparison, on main fleet it is usually about 18 months for G1, 3 years for SFS and 5 years for Purser. Another friend is doing her SFS training this month and she just completed her 3 years in January.
