The older you get the harder the job. I was flying for about 10 yrs and in the last 2 or 3 years i didnt sleep either. It was a nightmare. My best decision in life to quit in 2000 and never walked into an airplane. But each human is special..have a good time..from FRANKFURT. K.

[@valenciaflyer]

Thank you for the comment. Yes it can take a toll on the body and the sleep patterns. So far I’ve been dealing with it a little at a time. I hope things are going well for you after your aviation career. Thanks again for watching. Have a wonderful weekend.😊

It happened to me. I flew for 12 yrs but i was devastated. I quit in 2017 and i am now thinking about coming back😮😅

Thank you for such a very interesting video. You are looking so well and so content, I’m so happy for you. Your enthusiasm and energy continues to be infectious.

[@valenciaflyer]

Hey there, David. Wonderful to hear from you. It’s been a minute. Yes, I’m coming up to my one year anniversary next week. So much that I’ve seen and yet still so much to look forward to. Thank you for your kind comment. Hope things are well with you. Have a wonderful fourth.😁

I'm doing well today. How about yourself? A lot of us end up staying because of the flight benefits its really what makes up for the pay. It always amazes me when I meet coworkers that have never used their flight benefits. That was my brother in law. He worked @DaddyD since 1973 for over 50+ years and never got on a plane. But my mother in law used them all the time. Day trips are the best!I know what you mean about meeting someone new. In my base we have over 7500. Sad that sometimes you may never see them again. great content

[@valenciaflyer]

Hey there, Cherie. Great to hear from you. Yes, sadly I’m one of those that has not used his flight benefits to its fullest yet. I guess I was just still trying to set myself up within the first year. But I definitely plan to hit Tokyo, Amsterdam and Madrid, hopefully before the year is done. So 7500 FA’s. Where are you based? Yes, sad that I sometimes don’t see or work with flight attendants again after we’ve had a great trip. But it’s still exciting to meet new crew for me, so I guess that kind of makes up for it. Thank you for the comment and for being an amazing subscriber. I really appreciate you. Have a wonderful night and we will talk soon. 😁

Instead of using freezer packs in your meal bag, try reusable ice bags (like the kind people use for injuries). Your hotel may not have room fridges, but they always have ice machines! Another plus is that those bags stay dry on the outside, so your food doesn't get all wet. No microwave? Get a Hot Logic. And some oven-safe dishes, in case you want to heat up your food on the plane. No, I am not a flight attendant, but I follow a number of them! 😎

[@valenciaflyer]

That is an excellent suggestion. Thank you so much for letting me know. I will have to try it someday. Thank you so much for the comment and I hope you’re doing well.😃

Great video! Nice work my friend 🤙🏾🤙🏾

[@valenciaflyer]

Hi there. Thank you so much for the kind words. I’m happy to hear that the information is being well received. I do my best to provide valuable information to you all. Thank you for watching and I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Till then. 😄

[@Bianca-yt7pd]

Great explanation!

[@valenciaflyer]

Thank you, Bianca. I really appreciate the comment. I hope that you are enjoying the content. More to come. Have a great night and will see you on the next one. 😀

Thank you for another great video! Only 101 away from 1k 🎉 (I swear I'm feeling like your #1 fan 😂) My biggest struggle is gonna be the food situation, the time changes and the lack of sleep, I value sleep as it's so important for the body to recover. Question, is it only the lead FA who gets to cover the flight deck when they need to step out? Or would it be any FA? That's pretty cool to catch a view like that!!! ❤ safe travels my friend ✈️

[@valenciaflyer]

Hey there, Michelle, my number one fan. Hope you’re doing well. Always great to hear from you. Yes, I am almost there to 1000 subscribers. So exciting. Thank you for making this journey a pleasant one. I really appreciate you. So yes, any flight attendant can go into the flight deck. It’s usually the flight leader and the flight leader assist that go up there simply because they are at the front of the plane most of the time. But whoever is available can relieve a pilot. It is a thrill to be up there. One I still very much enjoy. Thank you again for watching and subscribing. I’ve started my flight training and will do my best to get some of those videos up as well. Have a wonderful night. Talk soon. 😊

Once hired as a flight attendant do you have the option to go work part time? Are you in full control of when your work?Even on reserve days? Thank you for sharing!

[@valenciaflyer]

Hi there May. Thank you so much for the comment and the question. Yes, once you are on the line, you do have the option to work part time. Many of my flight attendant friends only work two or three trips per month. Some of them even have other jobs that they do on the side. That is very common. So the nice thing about this career is that it is very flexible, at least with my company. All companies are not the same so do your research. I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Have a wonderful rest of your summer and thanks for watching and subscribing.😁

[@claymag9803]

For FA time flies.

[@valenciaflyer]

It certainly does. A little too fast in my opinion, but so far I’m having a great time. Thank you for the comment and I hope you’re doing well. 😀

[@ilianahernandez7743]

Is that because you commute? So your base isn’t in your city?

[@valenciaflyer]

Good morning. That is correct. I live outside of Portland, but my base is Seattle. Therefore, I have to travel to Seattle airport every time I go to work. And then of course travel back to Portland for me to go home. 🤪
