Thank you for your wonderful help for all the future FAs. I never regretted doing this. I wish I had not retired but my health was declining. I’m much better now

I flew for 42 yrs. At 62 yrs old. Had to retire early for my mom’s caregiving. I was really tired of working full time and coming home and take care of myself, mom and my pets. Many of my friends were still flying and I wish I would have stayed and continued until 66. The pay changed a lot and I was able to hold any schedules I wanted and have holidays off. But family came first. Yes, there were many people who complained about their job and management. But I enjoyed flying and met so many good people and bad people. It is the best job for people who love to travel and enjoy working with the public and good money for all the perks like staying in nice hotels and exotic destinations.

another i want to say about the lonilness aspect was that i'm always alone and despite being around people, i'm always alone in my world. so this being always lonely is nothing new to me, i've always been there.

Omg I completely understand. Even thought I was alone in feeling alone lol. Tbh, I self isolate a lot by choice. I tend to feel no one understands me, my thinking, my behaviors, battling anxiety and depression. A simple trip to the grocery store or getting gas can be a struggle. While everyone was complaining about the pandemic and quarantining, I was in pure bliss 🤭 sometimes I have to push myself to get up and just get out more. That's actually part of the reason I am pursing a career as a FA, to get out my comfort zone. Anyway, that loneliness aspect of the job didn't really phase me either 😉 Wishing you the best, peace & happiness 🙏🏾💛✨️

I’m in a weird funk right now with this job. The first year and half was AMAZING. The past six months have been brutal. My mental health took a toll. I’ve worked the nastiest crews who are extremely negative. Experiencing a lot of super senior people who bully us and tell us, how horrible this job is. Some flights have been rough. Some days I feel like people look down on this profession. Honestly, it’s been mostly dealing with crews. Im only 2 years in. But I’ve come across so many senior people who talk about the good old days, and say this job sucks now. However, I don’t understand and I can’t stand the negativity. It’s putting me just into a major depression. We have this job that allows to experience so many things, be independent, create our own schedules. I worked a 9-5 before being a flight attendant so I know what it’s like to not have flexibility, and freedom. Honestly, I’ve always wanted to be a flight attendant. I worked so hard in training to get here. I’m trying to not let the negativity and misery of super senior people impact me. But when you’re surrounded by it, it’s hard. Anyway, sorry for the rant!! 😂😂 Just got to keep on pushing through.

I can't even remember the last time I went into the crew room. Because I'm local based and don't commute, and we have a electronic system to check in as well as get messages and info, at my airline, I really don't have a reason to go into the crew room. It makes an incredible difference starting your day without the unsolicited negativity and toxicity that can permeate a crew room.

Wondering if it's the same with European airlines? . But i guess so. I'll be working for Swiss starting January.

I have been in the aviation industry since 2006 and my dream was to become inflight. ( crew -flight attendant) anywho: throughout my years I have done various roles. I stopped working in 2018( health issues) than COVID. Now I work with a regional airline. I love the lifestyle and have travel a lot. Two of my best friends who started with me back in 06. Are now both flight attendants for two different airlines. One is mainline and one is subsidiary. & The first question I asked was do you see the people you train with? Both told me. Their trainee suggest to bond with their peers to help along the journey. so than I said so every flight is a new colleague? They both said YES. Mainline flight attendant said ... you can bid with your buddy. They keep insisting I go for it. And that's one of my main concerns. My colleagues tell me to cross over to inflight. My airline does not provide housing for crew. My airline isn't American based. So for me that's the only part I dislike about the career. You'll deal with strangers and some of those strangers you'll see frequently. Similar to when I check in those guest who fly every 3 months. But to think in each hotel. I'll be placed with a new colleague and based elsewhere. Makes it seem highly lonely. The best advice is. You will truly know if it's for you ... until you actually become one. That was a good statement. I often think about that and I'm in aviation. I don't hear this statement as often. People only ask about the glitz and glamour aspect to it. …

Yes!! I was a F/A in the 90's. Based in San Fran. Low wages, no cost of living raise for an EXPENSIVE city! Hated reserve! Never had a consistent schedule. My body lacked sleep, and I suffered for it. I ended up resigning because I was living in poverty, far away from home, lonely. Had I stuck it out, I would have 30 yrs of being a f/a, and 35 years with the company. I loved my title, but the bad outweighed the good!😥

@tracycolvim7789, the FA world is different now. Higher wages, and they are hiring older people. Delta has the best reserve system-only 6 days a month where you are on call. So even new hires hold a line. Also, they now have boarding pay. Check it out once again!

@@XjtBA I'm SO glad airlines (not sure if all) pay for boarding now! In considering being a FA and doing my research, I came across people saying training is not paid, that's ridiculous! It almost scared me away, but the airline I'm seeking offers paid training and hotel/travel accommodations for those not in the area.

With the hours you work, would it be sustainable to work another job at the same time? Say a retail or fast food worker while also being a flight attendant?
@Andrewmusic731
@Andrewmusic731 2 жыл бұрын
No because those jobs expect you to have full availability and aren’t flexible. An FA would just pick up extra shifts. Vast pay difference there too.
