I may be wrong, but I believe for Cabin Crew at least there are periods where they aren't rostered on to any flights, but are put "on call" ie they must be able to arrive at the airport to operate a flight within something like 2 hours notification

I believe being on call is one of the most stressful parts of bein an FA because it makes planning day to day life very difficult
