Hey everyone, I am finally back with a new video and I think you all have been anticipating it for a long time. So here is my big reveal on why I quite 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! 🥰

[@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

[@suzayn]

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. :(

[@NazriB]

Lies again? Miles apart

[@piercehawke8021]

I love how honest you are about the emotions you've experienced. I'm sure many of us appreciate it that you've shared your journey and your story although you felt pressured or "attacked" by many. Thanks for always being you and being open about the journey you've been on. You've handled this so extremely well - no bad mouthing, being sincere, being respectful, being professional, by being human, and by being Bri. May you only excel in your new job, and smash those goals. Thanks for continuing to share your story with us, looking forward to your next vlogs. Kudos to you!

Mia, thank you so so much for this. ♥️ It was a difficult vlog to film but it had to be done. And I’m so grateful you and the others read through me instead of only having seen the uniform and the company I have worked for. Thank you for that. Sending you a big big hug! ♥️

I’m so glad you made this decision!! I’m going through the same thing. After I watched this, I feel more confident of my decision. So proud of you. And congrats on your new job🤍🤍

I’m so happy you’re saying this. Quite a few people wrote me saying that this video made them feel more confident about their decisions in their journeys. 🙏🏼 all the best!

[@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. ♥️🙏🏼

THANK YOU!!! Looks like a lot of people don’t seem to see that point and think I’m complaining when it’s quite the opposite - I’m sharing an experience that could be useful for somebody.

[@ijazzzali]

I really appreciate your honesty and courage. I fly in emirates a lot and to be honest i used to think how the fly attendants live there life. Like are they like happy, when do they meet their families. Verily, no amount of money can buy happiness. Best of luck for your new job.

[@imbrigita]

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!!!

Coming back from a spiritual break and overcoming my fear of flying, I'm considering applying to an airline. I've thought about it many times since I left school but have always been put off; 1 - the reason above, also I know you're putting yourself out there and you're going to be out of your comfort zone. You dedicated 3 years and I do wonder if I'll even make it through the 1, lol, I'm not a people's person but I'd like to give it a go. Thank you for your perspective!

[@imbrigita]

I always say, this job is an amazing experience no matter if you do it for 6 months or 6 years. P.S I was scared of flying too, don’t let that discourage you. You’ll be surprised what a powerful tool your mind is. 🙂

I understand and the reason why you did what you did and i 100% respect your decision and after hearing what you had to say about the job and how stressful Emirates was and the fact you worked for 3+ years which is a quite a long time and also you got such amazing opportunities and now i am so so happy that you are enjoying your new job. It's all good Bri, you took the best what you could from this job and you're still young. Keep with your goals, keep learning, you will be satisfied with your life later when you'll see how many different things you tried and experienced. Don't listen to haters, they are only trying to hurt you, I really am thoughtful now and i 100% respect and i learnt so much from your experiences and also hope what you now do as a job is the one for you, i think i have talked to you on instagram on how amazing your instagram photos are too, please keep up your career as a youtuber and personal assistant, god bless you and god bless your family 🙏❤️🌹❤️💖❤️💖🌹

So sad to hear that you felt so much pressure to share what’s been happening in your personal and professional life. These things definitely take time to process and I completely understand you needing to take some time to digest everything before opening up to your subscribers. Thank you for doing it because even though I’m not a flight attendant and have never had any interest in being one it’s still really interesting to learn more about this job, the good and the bad. At the moment I’m in a similar of desperately needing a change, but not knowing what exactly it is that I want to do, so it was really encouraging to hear that an opportunity popped up for you right when you needed one. Hopefully the same will happen for me. Again, thanks so much for being humble and honest and I can’t wait to see where life and your new job take you next. Sekmes tau! ☺️♥️

[@imbrigita]

Thank you my name twin! ♥️

[@alysonk.994]

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. ♥️

I have had a lot of fun following you and your experience throughout this three years that you have worked for the company and I’m so happy that you are now in a new period of your life and happy which is the most important thing, everything comes to an end and I totally agree with you that is not negative to end something the opposite when something has already completed you and you feel like you’re ready for a next step in life is the most beautiful thing and always remembering all the experiences, people, and leaning that has provided you. 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. I can’t wait to continue watching your following projects and what will come with your new job but I can only wish you the very best that you deserve. Greetings from a big fan 💛🥰

Dear Rosa, I receive a lot of sweet messages but I can truly say this one comes from your heart and it means so much to me that I don’t know if I could express my gratitude enough. I love the internet because although it does have a lot of negativity and bad people, but it is also a place to meet wonderful, kind and genuine people like yourself. I just wanted to let you know, that the videos I made and shared are my pleasure. I don’t do it for the attention, I do them because I love the process of making them. Thank you for following my journey. Sending you a big hug. ♥️

Bri, thank you for sharing your experience! My story as a cabin crew is very similar to yours. I`m going to complete 3 years in the middle eastern airline soon and I am feeling like I need to move on from it, learn something new, grow. Also the rules that you mentioned, its not easy to always fallow them, were only human after all. I can relate to everything you said here. Again, thank you for sharing. All the best to you!

[@imbrigita]

Hi Anna! I wish I shared more and some memories are only coming back now, having to tell seniors you’re going to the restroom on 15hour flight, having to wear a jacket with no exception although you’re sweating and on the verge of fainting because you’re on your period and many many more ridiculous rules. 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. Now I don’t take things for granted, just sleeping at night was so worth the quitting to be honest. All the best to you! 😊🌷

As a matter of fact and being a flight attendant myself.. it can be hard to exit this vicious cycle of traveling , special lifestyke, multiples day off, especially after so many years in the airline industry... but at the end what matters is living the Life we feel good about according to our beliefs and convictions.

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. ♥️

[@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. 🙏🏼

Hi Bri! You were (still are, actually) my inspiration to keep trying for EK. I tried about the same time when you joined, but got delayed with the whole recruitment freeze and did not go through. Crazy how life turned out after 3 yrs. All the best to your next adventure in life! 💕

[@imbrigita]

Hey!!! 😊 I’m so so sorry. That freeze was bad for everyone, for those in the company (in terms of upgrades and internal company changes) but also for people like you who wanted to join and had to wait so long! Wish you the best of luck in pursuing your dream. ♥️

[@sitihajar29]

[@dely448]

Hi Brigita, you are a very nice person and I'm grateful to have discovered your vlog. What I want to say also is that you shouldn't feel bad about all that time. As you said, you enjoyed a lot and after all that's the most important thing. It's incredible how our minds always get tired and want new things to achieve. Sometimes we need to compare with people who didn't have our opportunities in order to feel better. I just want to say that everything is in our mind and when we really waste time is when feeling that "miserable". I am glad to hear you are ok now, just keep being happy 😚

[@imbrigita]

Hey! I know what you mean, but that’s how I felt - like I was wasting time. I didn’t say I was ungrateful or it was a bad experience but I knew when it was enough for me. ☺️ thank you for your genuine and sweet comment. I am super grateful. ♥️

I’ve always enjoyed your videos and I’m happy about your new journey. A few years ago, my aunty told me to apply since they were doing a big hire. Emirates is a great airline, but I was quite hesitant to apply. I’m not trying to say anything bad about them (and the country) it may have been my calling, but they were other reasons why I didn’t push through.

The 50% wrong decision: don't feel bad as they are your. I pray that you achieve all you desire in life.

[@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!

I am a flight attendant in an indian based airline and I can totally relate to her working as a flight attendant is an amazing experience but there are always some pros and cons and it's not so much like what it seems to be from outside there are few weird kind of rules which does not makes sense but you will have to follow them coz everyone else is doing without questioning but overall it's a kind of experience which teaches you way more in your life.

[@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.

I got my golden call one month ago after 5 attempts and I’m joining by the end of April. I completely understand how you feel and why you wanted to do something different now. I have been dreaming about this job for more than 5 years now and now I’ve got it! I’m 26 and I know this is a job that’s won’t last forever, but I have a plan, I know where I want to get and I know this job is the only way to do it. SonAs long as you know where you’re going I think things will flow. I know I will keep motivated because I know where I’m going and as you say you didn’t have a plan when you joined, but now after watching your video I’m more motivated cause even though I know it will be hard and exhausting I’m still willing to do it cause I have a purpose. You discover yours later or maybe you are still trying to find it but I’m glad you have shared all this information because know I can feel more sure of my self. I do want this job and I’m so grateful because now I’m so close! But like everything in life, I know it will come with the positive and negative sides. Love you girl!

[@ewaskinder3876]

Ohh i can relate even though I didnt work as a flight attendant. I worked as animator (it was a summer job in 11th grade,I just turned 18). Probably, the worst mistake that I made was that I had high expectations about this. As every job which is like international, you live in another country-it seems like if you will apply for the job your life will be completely different. New people, opportunities, sun,pool, good positive team. But then you realize that you are only a stuff. And I dont want to say that I forgot that I came to work, but everything was too strict. There were rules for everything. Sometimes it was even funny. You cannot walk slow near the hotel - people will think that you are on vacation. You cannot sit on the sofa at the reception when you finished work because people will recognize you. And there were a lot of rules that were just absurd. But I’m also from Lithuania. I wanted to experience something new - have my summer before 12 grade like an adult,make my own money:)) And from the beginning it seemed like a perfect job (casting in one of the best hotels in Vilnius, serious questions ...) but when I came there ( Rhodes - perfect place if you are not working there😂) it was really bad. They were just using animators and btw this company was italian so 12 out of 14 animators spoke italian (they had a really bad English). And the sallary was miserable. I decided to not stay for the whole summer and left happy for the experience but I will never choose a job only because of the opportunity to live in other country and have an experience which is unique. I think we should still check everything and not forget that stuff is stuff and mostly even if you were recruited out of 10000 people-it wont be a dream job.

[@imbrigita]

Ohh girl I feel you! I mentioned in one of the below comments that we also had some crazy stuff. I was told off for not informing a senior that I went to the toilet like it’s a kindergarden (and it was a 15 hour flight), or for example even if you are feeling dizzy and sweating you still had to keep your jacket on before take off because there was some inspector on board watching how we welcome passengers. All the jobs have some silly rules and some silly people working for the company but the most important is whether you deal with the nonsense or you choose to rise above it and live your own truth.
