No, we do not largely prefer working in economy over first class, nor do we prefer working in first class over economy. Everyone has their own individual preferences, as is true with largely anything else in life.

Working in First Class is a "mixed bag" for flight attendants, and whether they like it usually depends on their personality and seniority. On the positive side, the staff-to-passenger ratio is much lower, meaning they handle only 8 to 12 guests instead of 200+. The environment is quieter, and the galley is often more spacious and better equipped. Many flight attendants enjoy the "fine dining" aspect, which involves plating gourmet meals and serving high-end wines, allowing for more professional creativity. However, First Class is also significantly more labor-intensive. The "service on demand" model means attendants are constantly on their feet, as there is no set meal time; a passenger might ask for a five-course meal at 3:00 AM. Furthermore, First Class passengers often have much higher expectations and can be more demanding or "high-maintenance" regarding specific details. Some crew members prefer the fast-paced, "get it done" nature of Economy or Business Class, while others appreciate the prestige and slower, more personalized pace of the First Class cabin, which is often reserved for the most senior and experienced crew members.
