The REAL Life Of A Flight Attendant | A TOUGH Reserve Trip

[@JettingJulia]

Good morning everyone and happy Sunday 🙂 I hope that you all know by now how much I truly love and appreciate my job. However, that doesn't mean we don't all have rough days sometimes. This was one of those trips that shows how flight attendant life isn't always "glamorous." We often times have early mornings, late nights, delays, etc. My goal for this video was not to complain or whine, but to show authentically how this job (like any) is not always pretty & perfect. It wouldn't be true to all of you or to myself to ONLY showcase the trips with exotic layovers and no mishaps along the way. With that said I hope you all enjoy this video, thank you for watching and I hope you all have a lovely week ahead! - JJ

[@ChinaDollTravels]

Have a good weekend Julia

[@markgubbins1958]

That has to be frustrating, dealing with the delays, but you handle it very well. By the way, you look fantastic in those glasses.

[@deepthinker999]

Many of us have jobs that also can be demanding, but are not glamourous, however we are grateful just to be employed.

[@debbkiato]

Everyone is allowed to complain about their job. We are human. 💚💜

[@dasianman]

It's good to complain about things every once in a while. It is a lot better than keeping it all to yourself. By the way, that meal you had in Minneapolis looked soo delicious!

[@juneleicht1261]

I think you have a positive attitude and you don't complain much at all. You say all the time how much you are appreciative of your job. I'm retired and I get tired, so I do not consider that a complaint. You seem like a real sweet young lady. I love your videos.

[@JettingJulia]

Thank you so much 😊

[@jessmartinez-gomez4285]

Julia, watching all of your videos is always such a treat. We love how genuine & authentic you are with your viewers, which is hard to come by these days. You've given me the push that I needed to start traveling again and I want to thank you for that. We need reminders that there's a lot of this world to see. This pandemic has taught us that we need to see as much of it as we can. Thank you for bringing a new little slice every week into our homes.

[@JettingJulia]

oh my gosh what a wonderful comment, thank you for sharing! That makes me so happy that you are traveling again, enjoy it!!

[@katesmith-thompson5500]

Welcome to Minneapolis! I recognize that hotel - super awesome and historic - what a great treat for you! Minneapolis is a great town - I hope you get a chance to explore when it's warmer and you might have more time!

[@dukemckeey8450]

Hi Julia! As a class one railroad engineer, I work nights, weekends and holidays all the time. I love your positive attitude about the trips that are less than desirable!! Please keep the videos coming!

[@lindsayelaine1326]

I grew up in Minneapolis and yeah. That’s pretty typical. Snow in end of April sadly.

I just got my CJO for the same airline, and your videos have helped me so much in curbing my anxiety about knowing what to expect when I begin this journey! Thank you!

Oh my gosh congratulations Yasmin and welcome to the family! 🥰 best of luck with training you’re going to do awesome. If you ever see me please come say hello!

[@rhondalyn100]

I'm sure your days can get grueling but I very much enjoy your "day in the life" videos! You take us to places we might never go...even airports look like fun to me! Thank you! :-

[@JettingJulia]

Thank you so much for watching!!

[@davetomlin5246]

You are so positive and humble even during those trying times and such an inspiration to all your subscribers and I personally feel so.much happier when I have completed one of your videos. Thanks! David

[@JettingJulia]

Thank you for such a kind comment!!

[@clm2417]

First of all, you are not complaining. I work 12 hour shifts in a hospital. After a 2 day or a 3 day, I cannot move. So you are not complaining, you are normal. Thanks for sharing your job with us. ❤️

[@Yikesitsmeagain.2]

Thank you for sharing your experience. You are such an inspiration for positivity and endurance. I learn a lot from you Julia.

[@xkristixx]

In the words of Jonna Jinton (she is an amazing YTer btw) she said, "Be like a bison. You are meant to go through storms." Bisons do not seek shelter when the weather is bad, they just endure it.

[@JettingJulia]

Love this, thank you so much!

[@adamgenez]

Very well said

[@juliemorse4082]

Julia you never complained about anything you are explaining your job to the you tuber and I am glad that you explaining how you work your flight and how many hours you are away from your family keep up the good work

[@josefj2609]

Julia i love how you are so authentic in your videos. As a fligth attedant too, i complete understand you. Sometimes the journey is to much and all wee want to doo, is just stay in bed for a entire day. Greets from Brazil, clear skys for you! ;)

[@DavidD-qr2vn]

Love your honest day in the life videos. Flight Attendants have a rough job on several fronts. Delays suck for everyone, but it is better if everyone stays positive.

[@alantonkinson7676]

On July 21st, im flying from London Heathrow to Philadelphia and then onto Tampa with American, so who knows hopefully you will be on one of those flights

[@jilalsandhu7180]

You are really great lady and God bless you and your family 👪 🙏 ❤

[@grated6972]

Yes that was grueling for sure.. the early early starts / longer day not as much fun. Glad you got through it with a positive mind and attitude. Hopefully resilience to relaxation comes soon.

[@kyliewalker6647]

love your super organized style. blonde suits, complexion always looks so fresh!

[@krisklopf1901]

Awe Luna carrying the slipper! My oldest Golden Miss Sammie does the same thing. LOL. But sometimes she steals it and I find it and her the next morning in the living room sleeping with it! LOL!

[@samtakhandhia1012]

Julia I love your channel! We flew from DFW back home to London today and I was hoping you would get another London trip today but sadly it wasn’t to be ☹️. Thank you for sharing the reality of flight attendant life. You are really inspiring with you positive attitude x

[@davidrew8260]

Julia.. You are a Rock Star.. Honestly you ALWAYS put a positive spin on things when it gets tough.. you truly demonstrate how to take things in stride and how to get through a tough day.. love your positive vibe and energy.. Keep up the amazing vlogs..Cant wait to see were you take us next.. Happy Sunday..

[@JettingJulia]

Thanks so much David, what a kind comment!

[@hibellacheb]

i absolutely love this day in the life vlog, and how authentic and open you are about it! i have always wanted to become a flight attendant one day, it’s my dream career! it would be a dream come true to be able to travel for work, as it’s already one of my hobbies! 🌿🤍

[@JettingJulia]

thank you Marie! Applications for my airline are currently open if you are interested in applying :)

[@jamespayette7574]

Hey JJ…did my heart good to see you and my little buddy Luna. My physical rehab is going well and should be able to go home (I live close to ORD) soon…been almost 4 months. Still fighting bladder cancer. Last surgery was not done because my heart was deemed too weak. Hanging in there though. I’m very lucky in that I have many friends pulling for me…including you and my Buddy Luna….thanks…Jim

[@JettingJulia]

We're pulling for you James!!!

[@LostInSpaces]

Always nice to show all sides of a job or career! Love your attitude towards those mishaps, Julia! Sending love to you and Miss Luna 🤗

[@JettingJulia]

Thank you so much Ana!

[@albertamccrary1497]

i thoroughly enjoyed this vlog and i hope you get some good rest and relaxation.

[@JettingJulia]

Thank you so much!

[@richf623]

Day two is definitely a LONG day with a 3hr sit in PHX and long flight to MIA. MSP-PHX-MIA. But, the good news is you overnighted in my home town of MSP. Yeah! And, guess what, it is still cold and snowing here. Yes, spring has arrived. Thanks for your video Julia. Kudos.

[@beltonfields2311]

I love Florida too

[@erika1935]

Hope you had a fun, relaxing, and restorative weekend after that trip! That was so much flying time -- to think of how a flight or two takes it out of we passengers, whew! Here's hoping the next trip will not be quite as demanding and with some later report times! Safe travels!

[@lisaconnally9388]

Julia that was a more realistic VIEW of the job with the 12+ duty days, the endless annoying SITS, the fact that you only get paid when the blocks are removed NOT for boarding/deplaning, check-in 1 hour before, SITS. The long tropical beach layovers are rare and few and far between. You somehow manage to look beautiful after that early SI amd long duty day not sure if using a soft filter cause I looked like was hit by a Mack truck! Loved the pic of Luna on ur phone you must miss her terribly I know i missed my dog which is why I couldn’t do it anymore…Take a trip to FL but bring miss Luna! Love and light💖✨☀️🌻

[@JettingJulia]

Thank you Lisa 💕 love and light to you as well!

[@chriskeentechnician]

That world map canvas set grinds my OCD gears…..it’s not all straight! 😵‍💫🤪

You handled this trip very well. Getting up super early and arriving late definitely alters your sleep schedule,

[@JettingJulia]

Thank you! I really did try to keep a positive attitude

This trip was the like the 54-hour crucible at boot and the Warrior's Breakfast that follows.

Hi, Julia and Happy Sunday!😊😊😊😊😊😎☀💙💙💙💙💙🌈💖💖💖💖💖🛫⭐👍.

[@sixtysecondvlog]

hi Julia, I can imagine you get some very difficult days by being a flight attendant. But I love how you remain positive through it all. hope you get some good rest and chill with Eric and Luna xx

[@JettingJulia]

Thank you so much - after this trip I was thankfully able to have some relaxation time with my little family!

[@stud88100]

Great vlog as always, Julia. I definately can sympathize with you because i have had some tough days at work and gone home and just collapsed. I just got back from visiting family and the same thing that happened to you, happened to me. we got delayed because of sir traffic control there in Dallas, and then when we finally landed, the gate where we were supposed to park, there was another plane there so we had to sit and wait on them

[@lorijohnston4311]

Happy Sunday to you, Julia! I hope you got some good, well-deserved rest. That seemed like a taxing trip. ✈️ Thank you so much for taking us along with you and sharing not only how many hours you are paid but how many hours you are actually on duty. Look forward to your next vlog! 💖 Hi Luna! 🐶

[@photomegan]

Welcome to Minne! The best place to be but I am kinda biased....

[@marikaaxox]

Keep it up Julia😄😄! I am always so happy to watch your videos. This entire video your skin is just glowing and im here for it. Also another thing, i recently finished my first interview with my dream airline and hopefully i will pass and move on to the next step! Hope to see you in the sky someday

[@cosleon3]

Delayed flight is what we’re going through right now! Flying out of MCO is crazy with security check taking 90 min and causing us to miss our AA flight back home. They put us on standby 3 times but got bumped each time. Finally flying out tomorrow morning with 4 booked seats! I love airports and airplanes but this is much 🙃! Enough rambling but know how you feel…

[@josephineahelle5094]

Another great vlogg Julia!!! Ur such a cutie and down to earth. Ur positive attitude is very addictive. U have a wonderful smile and always brighten my day 😍✈

[@knight2000-NC]

tough schedule for a few days, looks like you teased by being sent to ideal weather places like Phoenix and Miami and not getting to stay long too.

[@LuisCruz-bz4uz]

Sounds brutal, and stay positive

[@torgeirbrandsnes1916]

Great vlog as always! Are these 3h sit at the airports here and there meal stops and coffee breaks? I understand that you need them from time to time. Are those breaks for you or the airline. A friend of mine who is a pilot found out that he also had a 3h sit at an airport. He called crew disp and asked why and they said it was his meal stop. He said to them that would not mind eating while flying, so he could leave work 3h sooner. He got his way. Those tiles at hotel bathroom are called Subway tiles. They are awesome! I love em too! Kacy has now worked 5 yrs and she was over the moon that she now only would have to be on reserve every 3 months. Do you want a base change to MIA? Be safe! Looking forward to the next one!

[@TwilaSue]

Glad you are home and hopefully can rest & relax & rejuvenate! All jobs have their good days and then not so-good! I like how you shared this particular journey. To me, you did convey in an honest way the struggle of the long days and how strenuous and physical your job is. Did not come off as complaining. Sending some good vibes your way for a few easier assignments!! May the goddess of fun spread some love to crew scheduling on your behalf!! Blessings!

Are the hotels you stay at usually near the airports? Looks like your MSP hotel was downtown and not near the airport.

Good night-six time zone changes, nearly nine scheduled hours waiting at airports (not counting another about two additional hours of air-traffic control/weather delays), plus big temperature changes (Charlotte to Minneapolis to Phoenix to Miami?!?!)? What a trip…!!

This used to be a glamorous job; back in 70's and 80's. The 60's, too Between the 🤡 the flight attendants have to put up with, weather as 🤡 as the people, it's NOT the dream career it once was Society has tanked big time, in past 30- 40 years. Kudos to all those who choose this as a career

[@lisaconnally9388]

Very true as I flew 1986-2019 better days as now with the pandemic and pilot staffing it’s no longer the dream job. Kudo’s to those on the front lines of aviation!

[@melissacaulfield5519]

I love your videos 💗💗

[@johnpinckney4979]

I always laugh when you mention flying in/out of DCA. A former employer had a strict rule about never using that airport. Use was subject tro "Disciplinary Action, Up To and Including Termination od E,mployment." So, when the work our Chief Engineer of the era and I had been doing in Chicago finished ahead of schedule, we decided to return early. When we got to ORD to check-in, we found that our original flight had been "overbooked. So, United offered us a ride out on the next flight to D.C. That meant a trip to DCA. Yes, it was a scary approach compared to IAD. We got back six hours early. The next day, we each got a "Documented Verbal Reprimand" from our VP of Engineering.. It would be 24 years before I would have a fligyht experience as unpleasant. That was when I was RNO-LAS-IAD. The inbound to RNO was late. When we got to LAS, that flight had also been overbooked. So, the IAD pax were out of luck. The airline flew us to BWI instead. My house is eight miles from IAD... And, I still had to go to IAD anyways after I got off from work. Seems they had room for my suitcase. But, not for me! It would be eleven years before I gave them another chance. This was a great video, as you showed how delays affect crewmembers. Speaking as a customer, you have my sympathies. At least you probably know more of what's going on than the customers. Or, is it perhaps the other way around?

[@lisaconnally9388]

The other way around definitely as F/A’s are given the same info as passengers and are going through the same hell , to go home , to work, to vacation as the passengers do!😌😉

[@adamlittle8691]

Happy Sunday Julia! Awesome upload as always. 2am..😭 i can only imagine how hard that is to get up and head to work so early. I love an early morning flight but always so done for the rest of the day 😂. Sorry you had such a rough couple of days but hats off to you for getting through it!! 😊 lovely as always to see Luna at the end of the vlog. 🐶

[@JettingJulia]

Thank you - it's definitely hard waking up that early but sometimes it's necessary!

[@jaydunn57]

JJ: Luna is still the highlight of your Vlogs. I have a closet full of old slippers. Maybe I should mail them to Dallas so you can put them in Luna's toy box. 👞 I am always amazed how you display GRATITUDE in all your Vlogs.

Pilots found a loop hole I do not know if they still do it but lets say the plane needs to be fix and they cant go, so what they did was have the plane be pushed back door closed and move like 2 or 3 ft.. technically it was departed and they are on the clock.. that was in the old days I do not know if they do it now..

I think its somewhat ironic, that when I first started watching your channel you were being furloughed, and I was encouraging you that you will be flying again, to now when the airlines are desperate for flight crews. Time does seem to cycle. Hope your trips get more pleasant and less hectic
