Why I Quit Emirates...

[@imbrigita]

Hi everyone! Thank you for your comments. I just wanted to clarify something that I said at 20:20 about not being in a professional conversation a few times as some of my friends said why did I make such a big statement. I emphasize, I said I’VE EXPERIENCED IT, meaning it’s happened to me and it doesn’t happen to everyone. It does not say anything about the airline but about those specific individuals who sometimes forgot to act professionally at work. So I apologize, if this came out wrong.

[@qasimriaz6592]

Haha.. Really this point before i didn't focus on it but now you highlighted i again listen that so its mean males are not professional...only females are....so bad😂😂thats true what kind of attitude females have for sure male can't act like that..

[@aditisharma4049]

imbrigita its okay Brigita. You are in a phase of life where people will say a lot of things to you, question you for doing , saying, being what you want to. So its okay. You said what you felt and experienced. And there is nothing wrong in saying the truth. Hope you reach great heights in future and do more of what you love :) ☘️ All the best

I’m glad you followed your heart. You can only make decisions for yourself and your happiness. It never matters what other people think. You’re in control of your own life. You owe nothing to anyone (at least those who are not a part of your life like family you know). Stay prayerful and be guided spiritually. You are a true inspiration to those who look up to you. It’s wonderful to have someone like you who is encouraging and truthful! Have a blessed life! 🥰

[@jadebe80]

I can relate to your feelings about flying. Many successful people advise to move on once your challenges/growth become stagnant. I typically get anxious around the 1 year mark of being in a particular position. I’m halfway through my first contract (3 years) and I’m already feeling like I’ve outgrown the position.

[@imbrigita]

Hi Jade, from what I understand, you are cabin crew right? It’s good that you realize that now, many people get too comfortable and just wait too long and then regret. Hope you find your passion that drives you forward in life. ♥️🙏🏼

[@Blonde_Sky_Bunny]

I could not agree with you more, flight attendant life has its ups and downs emotionally . I am a US based flight attendant so we don't have as many restrictions as your past airline but watching this I am so happy you are following your heart and being so honest

I really wish the US carriers had the old restrictions like they once did. I’m really shocked at the poor appearance of the flight attendants on the domestic carriers here in the US. :(

Hi Ijaz, that’s so thoughtful of you. Thank you for being kind to flight attendants. A lot of people treat FA’s badly and think they are just waiters...

[@genten777]

Ijaz Ali: Are you serious ? Have you lost your mind?? of course money can buy happiness!! Of all the people you should know it best!! Millions of people from most of the 3rd world countries are desperate for jobs in the West and in the Mid-East because they have no food to eat and not even a pot to shit and piss in. They want jobs that pay them so that they can feed their hungry husbands and children and have a roof over their head!!!

Hi Bri, I've always been a silent viewer, but really wanted to tell you that I am SO proud of you for beginning your next chapter!! I am thrilled that you've become a personal assistant, because you finally get to be recognized for the work you do, as Brigita. You get to lead, think critically, take charge, freely wear what you choose, and make a personalized impact in your work space, all while staying in Dubai! And please don't ever feel bad for sharing the negative sides of your former employment. In fact, those details are what allows many of your viewers to make informed decisions on whether or not they want to follow in your footsteps. There's no denying that several people are blinded by the glamorous appeal of the EK crew role. And often, it is those who can't see past the facade who judge your decisions, because they cannot fathom why someone would give up what is still a "dream" for many. What they cannot understand is that no amount of layovers, 5-star hotels, and donning the iconic red hat can afford you the satisfaction of being individually recognized and appreciated for your talents. And having the means to grow, beyond the traditional GR2-GR1-FG1-CSV-PUR upgrading scheme. There is more to life than that. You were one of the lucky few out of 20k+ crew whom the public could identify by name. But at the end of the day, there was always someone ready on standby to replace you if you were ill. There would always be someone ready to receive their GC if you wanted to (god forbid) deviate from EK's operational needs and be with family for the holidays. All of those years you were at EK, you served your passengers WELL. Additionally, you took the extra step to share your experiences with the world via KZbin. We all appreciate all the work, creativity, and diligence you put into your content. And now we are here to be fully supportive of your decision to do what is best for YOU. Thank you a million again for making this video. From the kinds of unpleasant reactions you received upon resigning, we certainly did not deserve the time you took to explain a very personal and important life decision. But the fact that you did really shows a lot about your beautiful character. I hope you will continue to be a part of our KZbin community. But no matter what happens, you will always be remembered for sharing such a special piece of your career with us! We wish you nothing but the best.

[@imbrigita]

Hi Alyson, thank you so so much for such a wonderful, sweet message. It’s unfortunate, that some people misunderstood this video and thought my intention was to badmouth the company when it was quite the opposite, rather to highlight the positives and inform those who consider to apply for the position that it’s not all glitz & glamour. Anyways, I can’t control what the viewer takes away from the video, I am just grateful that you and a lot of others understood my reasons for leaving and are happy that I can move forward in the direction I want. Thank you for your support. ♥️

Funny how I got an unsuccessful mail this morning after waiting 3 months for my Golden Call. So even though I’m unhappy now, it’s interesting to know that even if I had gotten the job, I could have felt unsatisfied after the excitement died.

Trust me, everything happens for a reason. Maybe God has another plan for you, or this a lesson to learn patience. I also got UM first time and only got in after a 3rd attempt. Don’t give up if this is what you really want:)

[@juandenz2008]

Don't feel down ! I think there are so many candidates that just small random things can be the difference between getting the job or not. Keep applying to other airlines if you really want a cabin crew job, but also I'm sure there are other opportunities waiting for you in other industries !

[@ash-gw7es]

If I were you I’d still continue your dream (if it’s still something you want) there are a lot of downsides to the job, but there are also some upsides and I know lots of FA’s who think the upsides outweigh the downsides. It’s just personal preference, really!

It really feels good to listening your advices about life and experiences.I applied Emirates last month for an open day in Turkey and day refused me because of my cv in the first place...I am an english teacher but i do not want to do my job.Later I applied another company in Turkey but after the interview they turned negatively.I am a little bit depressed,don’t know what to do in my life in 28’s.Time flies,you are definetly right,we should have a plan.I hope you’ll be happy in your new job.Good luck.

I will just say one quote to you and the person who commented below. “Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway. - Earl Nightingale”. I know people who tried 11 times, and then they got it. So develop new skills, improve yourself and don’t give up on something you really want.

[@juandenz2008]

I think a lot of viewers really want to be Emirates cabin crew, so seeing somebody quit that job seems inexplicable to them ! I can understand why you quit though, 3 years is quite a long time, especially when you are young. Various annoyances and frustrations can start to accumulate. Some of the fun experiences on layovers with other crew seem amazing, but I couldn't do the job of a flight attendant. After a few months, I would be "OK here's your meal, don't bug me again" ! I think it's good advice to have a plan in mind, but don't get so focused that you don't enjoy life !

[@imbrigita]

Couldn’t agree more with what you said! I remember when I’d get my roster I’d be like “uhh I’ve already been to those places” or “uhhh I don’t wanna go there”, so I was ungrateful and would waste those opportunities and layovers to read books or work out on just something so silly as shopping instead of saving. Now I’m able to do all those things in my new job and I’m much happier. I don’t mean to say I was unhappy in Emirates, I truly was, I just outgrew it. 🙏🏼

So definitely don’t be afraid of this change to go back into the real world and feel normal again. Adapting to the “normal” lifestyle will take time but trust me, it’s worth it.

One thing I have always stud by, is that your health, both physically and mentally is more important than any job. I have been in many a job where I was unhappy. I am fortunate to be now working in one that I love and actually enjoy getting up of a morning to go to work. So I say congratulations on taking the step to leave Emirates. I’d also like to wish you all the best in your future career path.

I just want to really thank you for what you did this years and thank you for teaching us so much and also taking us with you.

BRI! Omg. I’m so glad that you talked about (some) people who pushed you around to explain yourself for resigning. Even for me, who’s technically your follower on insta, it also felt quite upsetting to see comments like “oh you need to tell us the reasons”. I mean, why tho :( Bri doesn’t owe her followers anything to tell them about everything. I truly respect that you managed to set your personal boundaries online. Yes we all need it, even for influencers-it’s important. It’s a right, your right. Just like you said, after all we’re just human. Although you finally decided to tell us why you quit, I’m still thankful for your (and your colleague’s!) piece of advice. :) It’s a great reminder especially for young folks like us: set a vision in life, yet flexible on the journey. So whatever you do for good Bri, may the joy always be with you! ✨

[@imbrigita]

Hi Kinanty! ♥️ thank you for being a ray of sunshine and for always being so supportive and understanding. Love what’s you said about having a plan but being flexible, that’s exactly it! There are moments in life when you just know what’s best for you. So follow your heart. ♥️

As a low cost airline FA who doesn’t know what a layover is I can assure you that you’ve climbed mount Everest of airlines and you have gained precious experience working for EK. KZbinrs always feel pressured to explain themselves but hey in the end of the day it’s YOUR happiness that matters and it’s awesome you have found this new dream to follow ^^ I totally get this point you’ve made about the lack of personal growth while flying.....YES! You become a smiling robot who is not supposed to feel anything except empathy for the customers.... And btw you look like a cross between Margot Robbie, Doutzen Kroes and Daisy Ridley

[@imbrigita]

Hey Anna! So happy to hear you’re a flight attendant and know where I’m coming from. A lot of people asked me throughout the years why Emirates why not any other airline, and to me Emirates was like that mount Everest as you said (hence why I didn’t give up even after failing two open days). And this is how I see life - a trek full of challenges you experience while climbing. I always liked growth and pushing myself, and even quitting this job was pushing myself out of my comfort zone once again. And as they say it’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey as cliché as it sounds.

[@jaimemcdanieltravels]

Imbrigita, I did watch the whole video. Too many people today get too impatient. I have followed you the whole time you have flown and really enjoyed your photos and videos. I hate that those have ended from your layovers. I loved not only seeing your travels, but how you presented them. You have a great eye for presentation. I am from an airline family, and most of our friends are airline. I even worked for an airline many years ago. My wife is an International Flight Attendant of 32 years, brother in law a pilot 33 years. There is so much more to it than people realize and a much harder job than most people realize. All the extreme time zone changes and so many all night flights can be really challenging to your body and mental state. Your body clock is always off. It isn't like you do it every now and then. It is 4-6 times a month. Plus some of the passengers can be very demanding, but dealing with so many personalities of crew members is even more challenging sometimes. I wish you happiness in your present job and your future! You were an excellent ambassador for Emirates and they were lucky they had you. As I said I will miss those travels with you but understand your decision. I wish you much luck and happiness!

Thanks Amelia, I tried but the messages and comments were going on for months. I would have done the video sooner or later and at the end of the day I understand it’s kind of strange to see someone you follow abruptly change their career and not explain why. But this is the difference people seem to forget, I’m not a celebrity and I’m just an ordinary person so I don’t have justify anything unless I want to do so myself.

Hi Ken, you’re not alone. 🙏🏼 Quite a lot of people reached out to me after this video saying the same thing that they feel as though people only know them for their profession.

I just resigned after 6 years in aviation from a European airline, I used to do short haul can't imagine doing long haul , just too overwelming, packing all the time , lack of sleep....the list is long ! The right choice

[@imbrigita]

It was so worth it though. I'll never forget all the opportunities I was given at EK. In fact, I have so much respect for European airline crew or in general cabin crew who mainly did short haul flights. I hated turn arounds and found two boardings, take offs and two landings in a day extremely tiresome, so well done to you.

[@usafr1pilot]

First of all, I want to congratulate you on your new job. I'm sure this is going to be one of your best decision that you had to make in your lifetime. Anyway, my wife now used to be a flight attendant for a major airline. Back then it was a little difficult for both of us as she was traveling internationally quite a bit. Sometimes she would be gone anywhere from five to six days only to come back all tired and she would literally go straight to bed. There were days when we would do things together only to feel sad because we knew that another trip is coming. Although we would talk on the phone a lot when she is away but as soon as we hang that phone up it felt as if we're turning that light switch off. Constant sadness and being lonely on both ends was a norm for us. It felt like there were more days of being sad and lonely than being happy together. That was 21 years ago. Now I have a job overseas that puts me away from her but our feelings now was nowhere near how we felt back then. This time around, we are much happier and everytime I fly home, I always choose Emirates to fly me home. But since the start of this horrible pandemic, I am no longer able to fly Emirates due to my status and I do miss it for their hospitality treatment that they provide. I just want to wish you the best on your new job and in the end, your decision to give up your job for another will turn out to be the best. Good Luck!

[@imbrigita]

Hi there, that is such a wonderful story. I totally understand the feelings you described. I am away from my loved ones now and stuck in London due to covid-19. It sucks but I’m grateful to be safe.

Lose your money if you’re not smart with it. Many people get this amount of money for the first time in their life and splurge endlessly. Many that were terminated now due to Covid didn’t have many savings because they were leading such lavish lifestyles.

[@carlcarlotti9642]

I loved the cabin crew life at emirates, back in 2008. But I quit because of the lack of support from seniors and managers. Pax can become very rude and abusive in that industry but the company never protected their cabin crew, instead were blamed and humiliated. I could have endured the poor pax treatment and the silly company's policies if there were support from seniors. Crew were too afraid to speak up because of the retaliation from seniors and managers.

[@imbrigita]

That is unfortunately the truth in various corporate fields - the intimidation from authorities. It's definitely not a healthy work environment if you are anxious and feel like no one can really have your back. I think Germany and few other countries have very strong union policies which helps the employees feel more supported.
