Qatar Airways A380 Crew Confidential - What you DON'T see as a Passenger

[@SamChui]

This is our last series of Qatar Airways vlog. There are a lot of great people work in aviation, most of them aren't or never been on the camera. One interesting fact: Captain Fatima, was on standby and called out last minute to operate the flight. She didn't know the filming before hand and was not even prepared but you can totally feel her confidence. I became a big fan of her throughout the 6-hour flight together.

Wow you think that constitutes confidence? Jesus. She literally just asks the crew if there are any specials. Uttering a few words in a pre-flight brief is pushing it.

I’m a former Cabin crew of Qatar Airways currently training to become a pilot. This series takes me back to my days at QR ( never hated a day at work, oh I miss it dearly ) and I’m so glad that the world gets to see what our jobs like, that crew aren’t just waiters and flying isn’t all about auto pilot, there’s so much work and responsibilities behind. Oh this Captain, never flown with her, yet I am blown away by her professionalism and confidence, used to love pilots like this. I have a colleague in my pilot training, he’s in love with the Captain’s confidence, literally mimics Captain’s dialogue and watch this video almost everyday. I also feel so proud as part of this family. Can’t wait to go back ❤️
