For destinations with no cargo-only service, the crew stay there for the whole week. It is very boring but the crew understand, many have gone through SARS which decimated Taiwan. BR is adjusting per-diem to account for higher prices on room service.
For destinations with cargo-only service, they need the FA onboard to act as the fire suppression system for the cabin cargo.
