Im an Aussie and a bit of an avgeek. YT recommended 1 of your vids to me and you're now my fave FA YTer. Love hearing how things are dome differently in other countries. Tho as an Aussie only being paid while the doors are shut sounds insane, as here it's generally illegal not to pay people for all the work they do. Some major companies have revently had underpayment of employee scandals and it has caused reputational damage. Also most companies use enterprise bargaining and those agreements are publicly available for anyone to have a read. The agreements cover salary, personal, annual and long service leave, allowances, breaks and other enrirlements.

I was one of the FAs on your first OE. So proud of you!!! ❤

[@brinersealey]

Austin!! Thank you! I could not have asked for a better first crew to work with 😊

[@CarlosRodriguez-ox3bg]

Just saw the article in Washington Post on how she is paid $25k a year. Insane. They qualify for food stamps at that salary.

[@trilingualcommunity9172]

Do you get paid for assigned shift at the airport?

[@grantcrawford6707]

This video was so cool to watch!! Hearing how your schedule has shifted depending on your base is so interesting, and hearing about your trips, destinations, hours, etc is all so fascinating too!! I hope you are having a great July so far!! :)

[@brinersealey]

Thank you so much!!

@@brinersealey i love you - i like watch you new to enjoy - excited briner x

[@Themflife]

Watching this made me get flashbacks being a commuter on reserve 😵‍💫 lmao 😂 I took a break but I’m ready to get back into it. I got a cjo with AA! ♥️ Been watching your videos and it’s been motivating me to get back into the groove!

[@SandraDeeeee]

😊 When based in NY, was it at LGA and then you could do either JFK or EWR?

[@brinersealey]

At my airline they can call you out of LGA, JFK, or EWR if you're on reserve! I have personally never flown out of EWR or been called to work a trip out of there. I split my time between LGA and JFK, but it is possible to make all of your trips out of one airport if you are on a line so... do with that information what you will :)

[@SandraDeeeee]

@@brinersealey thanks so much!!

[@peterpitrakkou3335]

Thanks heaps Briner. Very entertaining and informative. Always be keep safe wherever you are and go.

[@MakeupByBayXO]

Keep the videos coming! Great information

[@brinersealey]

🥰Thanks Bailey!!

[@njjen3953]

I thought you had to be off probation before you could be the lead flight attendant.

[@brinersealey]

At my airline you can be the #1 on all domestic and some international flights at any time! You can also be scheduled to be the lead on international premium destination flights (Europe, Asia, etc.) if no one else on the crew is Purser (International lead flight attendant) qualified!

[@byromania]

Great content! I enjoy these schedule recaps!

[@LuisCruz-bz4uz]

Very entertaining and informative

[@Lillystyle416]

I enjoy it your watching your videos. So sounds like scheduling are improvising. What does fly attendant do if they assign a base faraway from home?

[@charlesmiir9894]

why am I screaming every time you say OMG THIS TRIP!!!

[@fsalee3387]

When you had to commute to NY, do you have a crashpad in NY?

[@VagueGirl]

Soo how do flight attendants sleep with those crazy hours?

[@kimberlylogan5174]

Omg you were the sweet flight attendant on my OE 🖤🖤

[@edsondesouza2338]

Hi Briner ! I love your videos, great contents and excellent explanation.: At training you bid for you Base and maybe you don't get it, when can you ask for a transfer to your prefer Base ? Thank you. Waiting for more videos.

[@brinersealey]

Hi! Thanks so much for watching :) With my airline you can put in a transfer to a different base while you're still in training, and your name officially is added to the transfer list the day that you graduate. Some people get lucky and are awarded their base transfer right away, and are there within 2 to 3 months after graduating.

[@chioh8595]

Hi Briner! I love your videos! Great information! Do you know if you can choose off days each month? If yes, is it possible to have straight 7 days off ?

[@brinersealey]

Hi! Thank you! Yes, you can choose the days off that you want (you get 12 days off with my airline if you're on reserve). Days are awarded based on seniority. It is possible to have 7 days off in a row while on reserve, but is much easier if you have a line.

[@Ke-ig6ph]

I dont want the costume anymore, so you cant eat her. Owe rtruth.

[@momcruiser]

My daughter goes to AA training next month, do they explain all this scheduling during training or do you just figure it out yourself?

[@brinersealey]

Yes! There will be an in depth class at the end of training explaining scheduling rules, tips, and tricks in more detail. This includes how to build a legal reserve schedule with your days off! I will say that while it was helpful, you always learn more once you get out on the line post training. Good luck to your daughter!

[@syljo747]

If you live in a city that doesnt have a base and you can only commute.. what do you do?! 😢

[@brinersealey]

A lot of flight attendants who commute get crash pads at their base. A crash pad is a place were flight attendants and pilots pay a flat rate per month for a shared living space. That way, when you do have to sleep at your base, you have a place to stay!

[@priyankabedi2312]

I love it how you explained schedule but you did mostly domestic how many times you got international flight like I did apply bilingual I understood completely reserved period doesn’t matter you bilingual or not so just prepare my mind finish training give my 100% during probation time than little I can relax right thanks dear take care

[@brinersealey]

Hi! I know that if you go into training already hired as a speaker, then your reserve period will look slightly different than mine does. I know a lot of speakers hold a line within their first year, depending on the base. I'm honestly not sure of all the details and don't want to speak on something I haven't personally experienced. I will say that (as a non-speaker) in New York, you are able to more easily obtain IPD/NIPD trips than in Charlotte (where there is less international flying)

[@priyankabedi2312]

@@brinersealey I will take New York base it big base let’s see what will happen

[@vikki4now]

Why do you think we want to watch you read a schedule from a book? Will you be able to film some of your actual trips and layovers. That what I come here for. Just sayin.

[@011Nisha]

I actually like schedule video😂
