✈️Why I Quit My Job as a Flight Attendant | I Quit My Dream Job

[@kimberlana12345]

Being an Fa myself AND on reserve I can empathize with you immensely. Reserve takes such a negative toll on a flight attendant. I’m happy that you made the wise decision to be with your family, you can’t get back those years or moments !! Stay strong ❤️❤️

[@CassieSiedlik]

Yeah, I knew RSV life would be hard but it’s definitely more challenging than I anticipated! It was all worth it though! I’ll be able to handle it much better when my daughters are less dependent on me.😊💜😀

[@blacky3911]

I swear being on reserve & home standby gives me big anxiety & no one literally understands me, i can not sleep be thinking that they might call me for a flight , lately turbulence makes me nauseous

[@2Sweetnote]

Omg! I worked my last flight with you. I was the girl that worked with you from LGA to Kansas City about two months ago. You were so sweet. I wish you the best in whatever path you plan on taking.❤️💕

[@CassieSiedlik]

OMG!! I’m still embarrassed from our initial meeting! ☺️ I was so emotional! Thank you for being so kind and understanding.🙏🏼💜 I know you’re rocking it on Mainline! You exuded what an amazing flight attendant should be!

[@martylovellmusic.]

Your mental health is more important than any career. Good for you for sticking with it and deciding to quit.

[@CassieSiedlik]

Very very true!! It was the best decision I’ve made in a long time!

[@leaht4505]

Congratulations for choosing your family over the career- for this time. And also sorry about your husband’s Grandpa💛💛💛🙏🙏🤗That’s so hard!! God bless you and your family, Cassie!

[@CassieSiedlik]

Thank you so much!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 You’re so kind!💜

Yea FA is conflict with spouse and kids for sure, this is for single people in early stages absolutely

[@UnequivocallyME]

After 2 years with my mainline I’ve come to the realization that I’m not a flight attendant at all. I’ve been terribly lonely, severely depressed, and just angry all the time in the last 14 months. I was on reserve in IAD and then transferred to CLE to line chase. While it’s been a little better, it’s not enough to change my mind. The company I work for is totally apathetic to family emergencies. They punish me for pointing out safety concerns. And I’ve experienced instances of sexual harassment and assault that made me realize I don’t feel safe at all. August 6 will be my last day as a flight attendant and I can’t wait.

[@philipford6183]

It's a tough life as Cabin Crew - far from the 'glamorous' life, it's sold as. I have a friend who has worked as Cabin Crew for a very large UK carrier for years. I never really appreciated just how disruptive the life of Cabin Crew is, nor how poorly paid it is (most Cabin Crew seem to work two jobs just to make ends meet, my friend included). If it's not for you, you made the correct decision. It takes guts to walk out of a job that makes you very unhappy and unfulfilled (I've done it myself - twice). Remember the definition of FEAR = For Everything A Reason.

[@CassieSiedlik]

So very true!! If I was single and had no kiddos it would still be a challenge with the pay working for regional airline. A mainline carrier would be much different. It’s nice knowing that I’m not the only one who’s made a hard decision regarding resigning from a job for being unhappy. 💜

[@pilotjohnnyg]

Sorry to hear you resigned.... Sorry for your loss, thoughts and prayers to you and your family. Being a reserve regional flight attendant is difficult. Being on reserve just plain sucks, no other way to describe it. I know for me, I was NYC based and live in Florida, so crash pad for 6 days while on reserve, hoping to fly home for 2 days, to turn around and do it again the following week was tough.... But after getting off of reserve and finding a base closer to home made a world of difference. The difference is overwhelming and the quality of life is a game changer. Getting off of reserve allowed me to plan my trips, commute same day and never need that crash pad again. Maybe a hotel here or there for an early show the next day. Pay well, people just really don't understand the amount of time you put in without getting paid, it truly is not like any other job. Having young kids at home and doing this work makes it very difficult, they don't understand why your not there, especially on holidays. Glad to see that you were able to make a decision that works for you and your family. I wish you nothing but the best in all of your future endeavors.

[@CassieSiedlik]

Being on RSV does suck!! I've found out recently that only 5 of the 12 graduates from training based in DTW are left. 😯 I couldn't imagine being a commuter on top of that! I bet it was rough! Thank you so much for supporting me. I loved being a flight attendant and know I'll go back to it one day, it just might be 10 or so years from now lol.

[@monicamccuen6871]

I just resigned from being a flight attendant after 2 1/2 years. I was on reserve the whole time with the company so I TOTALLY understand what it felt like to have extra days of flying added. It was horrible. I have a husband and 2 daughter’s at the time (I just had another daughter in September and quit on maternity leave). They frequently added days onto my trips and it made me so upset and made my husband so annoyed. I knew I couldn’t go back with 3 kids. Reserve was so hard. I’m so sorry to hear about your husband’s grandfather ❤️

[@alp.9672]

Reserve for 2 1/2 years?? Wow what airline did you work for?

[@laurashafer5728]

Thank you for this video. We had a terrible death in the family while I was in training. I completely understand.

[@Julesmwagner]

Cassie, I'm so sorry to hear about all you've been through in the last few weeks. I hope you're doing better now and that things are starting to look up

[@CassieSiedlik]

Thank you so very much. 🙏🏼 Things are much better now that I’m with my family every day. 💜 It was a hard decision to make, but definitely worth it!!

[@lorikwiecinski5121]

I have enjoyed watching you and don’t blame you one bit for your decision! I am a recent graduate from FA training...I am 50 yo and waited this long for that same exact reason. I don’t know how the FA’s with children do it! Best of luck to you and thanks for all the good advice you have given!! You are a beautiful and amazing mom!❤️

[@CassieSiedlik]

Ahh thank you kindly!!🙏 I really thought I could make it work with my husband's new flexible job and extra support from our family members... It's nice knowing that I'll be able to handle it when I'm older. It's such an awesome job, right?! Are you liking it?

[@lorikwiecinski5121]

Cassie Rose yes! The job will always be there when and if you are ready to come back! A majority of the other woman(50+) in my class were returning FA’s actually...the oldest was 62 😳! So..it’s never too late!lol As far as me liking it..it’s yet to be determined!lol my IOE is scheduled for the 24th🙏 I am so excited to get the ball rolling tho! I returned home from training 2/28. I’m going stir crazy...it’s pointless to get a job a this point but the bills wont stop coming it while I sit here and wait either!lol That struggle is real...I saved what I could before training but I didn’t expect to be waiting so long for my IOE🙄 But I’m a firm believer in everything always works out ..one way or another:) Also...I got based in MSP..wasn’t expecting that either! (I’m from Detroit as well) Another reason why I couldn’t have done this job when the kiddo were little! Best wishes to you again! Keep the channel going if you can! Your daughters are adorable and your youngest cracks me up!!! Lol xo

[@lorikwiecinski5121]

Cassie Rose Looks like you got out just in time girl! This is nuts! And so scary:( Good call!!xo

[@TheTruletta1]

You really helped me to make my decision . Thank you for sharing this💕 I wish you the best in your future🙏

[@CarlosHenrique-lq5qh]

Hi Cassie. I'm so sorry for the loss of your family member. Choosing your family over the carrear was the best decision for sure. Wish you the best of luck. Carlos.

[@CassieSiedlik]

Thank you so much. I'm much happier now being with my family every single day again. :)

[@TravelingGunn]

Aww man sorry to hear that about your husbands grandfather. I wish you could have taken bereavement so you could be with your family. You chose family over the job and I totally understand that I was in your same shoes at my 6 month mark with being with the kids. Also lately I’ve been in Detroit a lot.

[@CassieSiedlik]

Yeah, I really hope I don’t regret this decision but my heart is telling me I did the right thing. 💜 Thats awesome you’ve been in DTW!! Have you been able to explore downtown Detroit? I love it!

[@TravelingGunn]

Cassie Rose no it’s just been sits in Detroit. But always follow your heart. The airlines will always be here.

[@CassieSiedlik]

Traveling Gunn I guess you could have sits in worse places lol. That's what I'm thinking, the airline will always be there. :) I look forward to watching your vlogs and your FA adventures!! 😀

[@TravelingGunn]

Cassie Rose it will always be here and hopefully when you decide to come back it will be with mainline. Thank you for the support

[@theultimatereductionist7592]

Never be ashamed to say this in public (I will, so you don't have to): BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T DESERVE YOU! PEOPLE DON'T DESERVE THE INCREDIBLY ARROGANT & SELFISH TAKING FOR GRANTED of the INCREDIBLY COMPLICATED, EXPENSIVE, ENERGY-INTENSIVE ACTIVITY OF AIR TRAVEL! Force the world to work on teleportation & other deep hard necessary physics & applied engineering first.

[@scottschmitt8409]

Sorry for the loss 🙏and I think you made the right decision on leaving I just work 3rd shift and I barely get to see my little ones and it hurts I couldn't imagine being gone for days and keep developing your channel that might wind up being a good source of income and you look great btw you haven't changed much since school 🙂

[@CassieSiedlik]

Thanks so much Scott!!! You've always been such a sweet person! 😊 3rd shift would be hard... Fingers crossed I can make some extra money from these uploads! It's a fun hobby for sure!

[@potternana3303]

Stay strong as always. Now u have preview of flight attendant job and can go back when time if right for you!

[@CassieSiedlik]

Exactly!! I know I'll love it in the future, just not now. 😀

[@willowclay5406]

I know it's difficult. You have choices that are right for you. It's harder with family obligations.

[@poop97938]

Wow. I’m caught off guard but you made the right choice by doing what is best for you. You have to focus on yourself first and foremost.

[@CassieSiedlik]

The decision certainly came unexpectedly, but I’m more than happy that I made it!! 💜 Thank you for following me during my journey! 😘

[@leanneb9529]

I'm glad you'll be at home with your family and the fur babies❤❤ That story about Gary was heartwarming🐱💖 I hope you will tell us one day about your life in Korea and how you got your cat there🐱💖

[@CassieSiedlik]

Yes, being home is the best place for me, my family, and my fur babies right now! 😊 I definitely haven't forgot about making the video about Korea! My hubby and I unfortunately keep putting it off with unexpected plans, but I promise it'll be soon!

[@athenaspencer4684]

Awww Cassie...I am so so sorry...I do think you have made the right decision for you and your family... just take the time and continue to develop your channel and this will be all you need to stay home. ❤❤❤

[@CassieSiedlik]

Yes, I’m so happy I followed my heart. They are my everything right now. It would be a dream come true to be a stay-at-home KZbin mom 😊Maybe one of these days🙏🏼🤞🏼💜💜💜 Thank you for continuing to support my channel. I appreciate it more than you know. 😘

[@808_waipahu2]

I’m sorry for the loss of your family member. I loss my Father in February 21. It’s very difficult

[@CassieSiedlik]

I'm so sorry to hear that. It was hard losing my husband's grandfather, I can't imagine losing my father. Sending prayers your way.

[@LillyandThings]

Wishing all the best 💖 Your girls must be so excited ❤️

[@CassieSiedlik]

Thank you kindly!🙏🏼💜🙏🏼They are much happier now that I’m home more often. 😊

[@Our80sLife]

Sure the life of a flight attendant is tough. Nice that you can now be there for your family.

[@CassieSiedlik]

Yeah, I feel so much better now! 💜😊

[@lisagood6805]

Aren't you the one that kept applying for flight attendant jobs until you finally got hired?

[@CassieSiedlik]

I applied many years ago and when my husband was hired at his new job recently I started applying again.

[@Luanne21]

Good luck sweetie. God Bless

[@CassieSiedlik]

Thanks so much!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@goutvols103]

Just to add some perspective to regional versus mainline carrier FAs. Is there tougher competition to be a mainline carrier flight attendant or is it part of starting at a regional and then eventually working your way up to a mainline carrier? I would assume that the pay would be somewhat less at a regional starting out. Thanks in advance.

[@CassieSiedlik]

There is definitely a tougher competition to be a mainline carrier FA. The pay is significantly less as a regional FA. Many people get hired as regional with hopes to get hired mainline in the future. Before I quit I was actually in the process of interviewing for Delta mainline.

[@goutvols103]

@@CassieSiedlik Thanks for the reply. In regards to tougher competition, will the mainline carriers hire folks without prior experience from a regional? Is the competition from higher test scores, age, etc.?

[@Syk215]

Im still deciding whether i should study flight attendent. I feel like being a flight attendent is maybe not for me. Im type of person who gets lonely easily and introvert person but interested in becoming flight attendent , for me it seems glamarous job.

[@salehmalaeb4788]

I love airplanes and airports so much....but the problem is that i love being alone and am kind of anti-social 😅....so as a flight attendant you''re always dealing with people and that is not at all for me....unless it's just me and the pilot o the plane 😂

[@romcallis]

Freedom is important...airlines, firefighter, hospital jobs take away your freedom...missing important events in your kids lives sucks

[@CassieSiedlik]

Agreed!! 💜

[@jomr4249]

True, and it seems like you would have more freedom as a flight attendant. But the schedule is crazy

[@alp.9672]

@@jomr4249 you would have more freedom in other position because of consistency and you’re around home.

[@JOHNNY-nu1fm]

Well you were right at the Cusp of Completion. While all your issues may be valid perhaps you should have thought of these issues before becoming a flight attendant. How did you think it would be? You were in the military?

[@CassieSiedlik]

Yeah, I actually did think about those issues before becoming a flight attendant. I honestly thought I would be strong enough to spend that much time away from my family. When I was in the military it was only one weekend a month and two weeks of training a year, nothing compared to a flight attendants schedule...

[@jacobmartinez5461]

Were you with a regional airline?

[@larissa_7729]

I couldn’t be FA if I had young children no way.. and I’m so sorry for your loss 🙏❤️

[@alp.9672]

Yea I’m confused why people who apply to this industry when they have little kids

[@Shan-ShanH]

Having small children at home should’ve been enough reason to not ever take that job in the first place.

[@CassieSiedlik]

I watched Wonderfully Ale and other flight attendant moms and thought if they could do it, so could I! But obviously I’m very different than them.😬

[@Shan-ShanH]

Clean with Cassie I can’t relate to mothers, especially of little ones, who fly. I quit when my first one was born. Don’t get it, don’t respect it. Not the kind of mother I would want to be or to HAVE.

[@shaheershujaat2223]

Wow Cassie you look very nice and beautiful in that clothes amazing video well done 😊😊❤️❤️👍👍

[@CassieSiedlik]

Thanks so much!! 🙏🏼💜😊🙏🏼😊

[@lindasalem405]

the pay is not worth you staying away from your family! family first i really think this is a job for someone single just my thoughts 💭

[@CassieSiedlik]

I agree!! Family is my everything!!💜

[@Shan-ShanH]

You can go non-routine even when you’re a line holder. This job is not for mothers with small children. It’s just not. You’ve got to be excited to be away from home to work this job you are just not the right fit.

[@CassieSiedlik]

Agreed! When my children are grown and older I think it would be a better fit.

hello my friend , you look beatifull why do you quit job as a flight attendant, ok Calm my friend

[@Dayana17ist]

That type of job is more for single people in my opinion

[@UnequivocallyME]

It’s for people who enjoy a highly irregular schedule and constant change. I was single for 13 months and began missing a routine 9-5 after month 7. I’ll be resigning the end of the summer and I’m looking forward to moving on

[@ThePolaroid669]

Why do flight attendants make such a big deal of resigning. People resign from their jobs all the time.

[@Chance8888]

A female flight attendant is equal to a Man Truck driving over the road. Same lifestyle. One just has better makeup
