Aviation HACKS | Top 10 BENEFITS for Flight attendants & Cabin Crew [EXPLAINER]

[@WishCasting]

Side Note: These benefits stand during non-pandemic times. Although the advantages of being a flight attendant are truly incredible, let's not forget what happens when a pandemic strikes and cabin crew become redundant. For that, watch our previous videos here for a FULL picture of the situation: 1) Layoffs: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJSaaWZtmslnbdk 2) Strategies for redundancies: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJXYk2toosyfrJI

There is somehow a loophole in KZbin ads where advertisers can upload hours of seminar as an ad. I personally encountered 3 times. The Longest one I encountered is a 260min ‘ad’ which turned out to be a recorded livestream from a guy trying to sell jewellery. I have also seen ads that are actually 5min music videos. I don’t know whether these will become a trend. I gave up on just letting the ads run their whole course.

An awesome video. What a great attitude and charisma you have. I worked as cabin crew for American Airlines for 8 years. By doing a good job, we were frequently awarded tickets where our family members could fly free in Business or First Class with stand-by priority. Was able to fly my family to numerous destinations around the world, at absolutely no charge. When traveling, I was also able to secure great hotel rooms at huge discounts. You seem so wholesome and kind hearted. Can’t wait for your next video. Cheers!

WishCasting Hey, Orlando. This is Jim from the United States. Would it be OK to travel at this time to either the Maldives or Helsinki (Northern Lights viewing)? Haven’t travelled since going on Kenya Safari last October. I completely trust your advice on traveling to one of these destinations. Or, do you think Covid may present problems at the current time? Thanks for your advice. Sure appreciate you and your videos. Have a great week. : )

Thank you Orlando for explaining us details about being a flight attendant. You videos really inspired me to a flight attendant.

[@watchhans]

It sounds too good to be true, but you don't have to forget that there will be a life after being a flight attendant with Emirates. What about your return to your home country? What about an ordinary life, not staying at 5-star ressorts for free anymore? You have to put money aside for your future life, so even if you don't pay taxes on your EK-salary, keep in mind that the cost of living is pretty high in Dubai. And you also have to put money aside for your retirement. Not that much left anymore? Travel benefits are definitely great, but keep in mind that when flying with a so-called staff ID-ticket (Industry Discount) you are on stand-by! If the flight is full, you won't go on that flight! And this can happen just up to 15 minutes before departure! At some popular destinations I have seen airline staff being 'stranded' for days! And if travelling with other airlines you will be the very last on their priority list! Global discounts? They are definitely becoming less and less, especially hotel discounts for private travel are not that big anymore. You can get better rates if you compare prices on different websites. Benefits CAN be great. But they don't neccessarily have to be! From my point of view, the best benefits are health-, unemployment-, and a retirement insurance. I don't know much about this with Emirates, but I can imagine that other big airlines, especially the big European carriers, are much better in this. I was a flight attendant with Lufthansa German Airlines from 1982 - 2015 and I am currently enjoying my company's early retirement scheme. That means my very last flight took place before my 55th birthday. After that I will still get money from Lufthansa for the next 8 years, approx. 70 % from my last monthly basic salary, including full travel benefits for the rest of my life (as well as a valid Lufthansa Staff ID-tag, but with an imprinted 'R' on it, means Retiree). After that, the German State Retirement Insurance will pay approx. 40 % from my last basic salary plus another approx. 20 % on a monthly basis from Lufthansa. Health insurance is legally mandatory in Germany and will be paid for by the state and the retiree on a 50/50 basis. But I will still have to pay tax on my retirement payments. (If you are not married, that can be quite a lot!) How really good benefits are and how really good a company take care of their employees and how really good a country is, you will see in times of a global crisis. I hope that we all soon will be able to freely travel around the globe again! Take care, stay safe! P.S. Lufthansa is not state-owned, but received state aid because of the pandemic, like many other airlines.

[@palashkuche2278]

One of the Best perks according to me is that you get to meet people who are more experienced than you. More mature than you. And from these people you get to learn preety amazing things which will help you in a lifetime of your career. Thats very exhilarating. & Of course youngsters who are filled with energy gets the opportunity to use their energy for this job which is pretty exhausting. If thought carefully, 5 years of cabin crew experience is way more superior than normal job experience. And world is starting to realise that. I mean really, There are multiple amount of things you can do when you feel like you can't do the job anymore. So keep learning everyone & if you meet the requirements of this job then you can do it. See you all aspirants in Dubai.🤟

Happened to me and to sooo many others, to skip desserts, tea coffee, we care parts for sales. Doesn't happen all the time but, if you're a df operator on the selected flights we mentioned, it does happen and the purser writes it down on the kis tablet. DF goes after the service only in normal situations, if csvs and purser gets stopped by many passengers for df items, you are summoned to go ahead of time. Strange that you don't know this.

I am sorry, i have to disagree with the point of less work when you are a duty free operator... You still have to do your crew duty besides suty free... Finish your crew duty first then continue with duty free... Hallo from fellow ex-ek... Cheers...

[@WishCasting]

I believe that being a DF operator is harder work than other positions most of the time. But if you're cool about it and sell a lot, you'd end up making more money and working less (sometimes deserts, tea coffee, clearance and wecare wasn't done by DF on my flights). Very common on high DF sales destinations. Hi Dave! Where are you from! Very nice to hear from a former colleague!

[@vishalbadgal9279]

Hey Orlando do we need to have subjects of physics chem and math to become pilot in emirates or just need to join there school.

[@deboramorais9857]

To become a pilot you need to go to an aviation school and pay for 150 hours of flight. Then you can work as a pilot until you reach 1500 hours of flight and, only after it, you can apply for Emirates and maybe they will hire you. The company only offers training for pilots who have already experience in the field. In order to become one, you will study math and physics before doing your flights.
