The Real Life Of A Flight Attendant • Working 80 Hours In 2 Weeks As A Flight Attendant

[@lydellmorton1121]

I've been watching your videos for a minute now and really enjoy them! Thanks for opening up and sharing your life as a Flight Attendant! I have another year before I retire and you got me wanting to apply with Daddy D! Keep up the great work!

[@flyingwithskates]

Glad you like them! I hope you apply it’s a great lifestyle to have 💜❤️

[@lydellmorton1121]

@@flyingwithskates I have made it my decision to apply once I retire. I need a change from law enforcement. Thanks for the reply! Stay safe and keep up the wonderful videos. 😉👍🏾

Love this video. I just started on the line a couple weeks ago. DTW-based trying to get home to NYC asap (wasn't senior enough for the most recent bid, but maybe next time). Anyway, I'm excited to start playing around with my schedule so that I can optimize mine like you do yours. Haven't picked up a TO trip yet like some of my classmates from training have, but now that I've flown a handful of domestic trips, I'm ready to fly a little farther and explore some "foreign" land. I know the service is more elaborate, but hopefully I get a very welcoming crew who is patient with me as a new FA whenever I pick up my first TO. Thank you for sharing your tips, tricks, and experiences.

Hey welcome to the line , I hope you love it just as much as I do . International are so much fun and very worth it I hope your experience is great, keep in touch and let me know how it goes ❤️❤️❤️

Did you have any choice in the base you received? I was wondering because I just applied and I live 20 minutes from Atlanta. What commuting like; Does your air line help with it in any way?

[@NicksElixir]

@@Unidentified863 my class was offered 3 choices. Atlanta was not offered and none of my classmates have been able to transfer quite yet based on their seniority, but maybe soon. The airline does not help you relocate, no. That's something you have to fund on your own. The most they MIGHT do is point you in the direction of affordable hotel and crashpad options.

[@NicksElixir]

@@Unidentified863 commuting for me is an inconvenience because I spend some of my time off traveling to and from base, but I'm 3 months in and all my commutes have been successful because I fly in to work the day before work religiously (I flew in the day of once and I made it to work, but I ended up being awake for nearly 24 hours from the time I got out of bed on the east coast until I finished work on the west coast... and it was terrible!) and I always book the Jumpseat to guarantee I get on the flight.

[@Unidentified863]

Ohh wow commuting seems expensive then. I thought that maybe the air line helped with a flight back home at least on your days off. Well thank for the information. I subscribed to your channel.

I want a crazy check!!!😂

Me too ! I’m ready for my 5 year pay raise

Happy weekend. Safe travels. Cheers.

[@flyingwithskates]

Thanks, you too!

[@Coilykinkchick]

Hi! Great video! With the war going on now do airlines still fly these places? CIf yes, are you able to decline those trips due to safety concerns?

[@flyingwithskates]

All flights to Israel are canceled

[@beltonfields2311]

I hope you had a great trip and have a great day/week. I also love the beach too

Thanks Belton , I hope your week is amazing

Hi Skates, i love your vides and I'm looking to be a fight attendant, was it hard to get on, what experience do they require any tips for the application and Interview process?

[@flyingwithskates]

Hey thanks for watching, it was hard for me to get on but everybody’s journey is different. As long as you have customer service experience you should be fine good luck

I do need to go back to the Virgin Islands I love it there

[@brianhornak5937]

Hi..that seems like a lot of hours in your profession..hope all is well..SAFE travels❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@flyingwithskates]

Thanks for watching ! Yes definitely a lot of hours as a flight attendant this job. Is physical demanding

[@joybay322]

Hi. Skates. Your vlogs are the best!❤ You said the Tel Aviv flight was one of the hardest to do. What makes it hard? Please give tips on how you made it better for you. We really love your content. Can you post twice a week instead of just on Sundays?😅. All the best to you👍🏻🤗

[@lbacchus]

I think the flight is hard because the crew has to be culturally aware of the customers requirements (she talked about how women cannot physically touch men) and with lots of kids on the long flight they will probably have to help out a lot of parents get through the flight.

[@NicksElixir]

probably a lot of special meals/dietary restrictions because of the religion as well, i would think@@lbacchus

[@flyingwithskates]

The bellow comment is very accurate it’s really just the cultural difference and once you learn that the flight becomes easy ! Thanks for the support and I’m not sure if I can post twice a week I’m a busy women lol 😂

[@joybay322]

Ok😂

[@MzBeautee]

I like your hair, can you please tell me what color it is. Great Vlog!

[@flyingwithskates]

Hey ! Thanks for the compliment my hairstylist did a custom color I’m not sure the color specifically

[@vanessaruiz4705]

Hi , wonderful vlog as usual, and a little question if you dont mind. Do flight attendants normally state how many hours they approximately would like to work? well, I guess they do, because if you had a child (for instance) and wanted to work only part time it would be such a waste of time for everybody involved to be dropping a lot of trips from the schedule. Thanks

[@flyingwithskates]

Hey thanks for watching and supporting me ! With my airline we are scheduled 75-85 hours when you are junior you can ask for days off , 2 day trips , turns or specific 3 days you then have to go in and make your schedule flexible mt swapping with other flight attendants it’s hard work but if you want this job to be d flexible you have to work hard to make sure you have days off by swapping and staying In open time

[@Openyoureyez83]

@@flyingwithskatesit’s very confusing but Ty for posting

[@flyingwithskates]

@@Openyoureyez83 yeah it’s going to be confusing until you get on the line it’s kind of hard to talk About the schedule when I really can’t show my schedule or the process of how I move things around

how long did it take you to get main line or doing international trips?

[@flyingwithskates]

I took me a year to get international trips

[@maytedreamz4501]

@@flyingwithskates wow that’s too long

[@flyingwithskates]

@@maytedreamz4501 it’s a lot of factors I started flying during Covid and you can pick up international trips but you won’t be scheduled international trips , I also was based in Atlanta a senior base ! I have a friend who’s new to the company and 2 months in she’s based in Detroit and she got a international on her line during a holiday weekend so it really depends

[@Unidentified863]

​@@flyingwithskatesHi, I just came across your channel. I just applied and I'm on the VJT portion So, you said Atlanta is a senior base? Can you elaborate on that, is that a bad thing? If I get the CJO I was hoping to be based in ATL because I live here.

[@vernelllevingston1800]

Skates since you are talking about. Being an Israel, and they pray a lothe. Next time you take a trip there. Can you make reservations? To go where Jesus was at I would love to see that. And you were talking about feeling safe over there. Because they pray a lot. I would love to be in the presence of that, oh my goodness. The Present of the Lord. I would just be crying.

[@flyingwithskates]

I want to go to Jerusalem but we don’t get enough time to go , I already cry know so I know would be crying like a baby in the night time

[@vernelllevingston1800]

@@flyingwithskates Okay, will I pray you get a day and a 1/2 over there like early in the morning? One of these days. God will make a way cause you wanna do him? asked And it shall be given on to you he hears you
