I totally feel you in every word you said. I never hated EK tough, even when it made me physically exhausted. I was so happy when I left, never imagined I could miss it tremendously after resigning. Although I completely changed my career’s path to have a more stable life, I feel a part of me will always belong to the sky and identify with an Emirates cabin crew! The aviation world and the people who work in aviation are the most open-minded human beings I identify and I get along with the most. Despite the fact that I have my routine back and I am happy about sleeping at night, I will never neglect how much I miss being part of the EK community. Emirates was like my family and safe place, Dubai was home ❤ I will always be thankful for the experience I had and I will never forget all the amazing and cool memories I made and people I met along the journey.

I completely understand you because right now im experiencing the same thing you experienced when you left emirates...im not a cabin crew yet but im thinking of becoming one. The last years i feel stuck with my life and i feel like im not doing something that makes me happy.I'm 22 and i'm currently in university which is the only think that keeps me from leaving my country, because even though i dont really like my major, i know that being cabin crew is not something im gonna do for all my life and if things go wrong i will probably need a backup plan. The truth is i want to become a flight attendant not only because i want to travel but also because i want to find my self, i want to find what i like and i think this job will help me. Thank you so much for making this videos, in the last few days your channel really helped me❤️

You have a nice voice for a podcast, I’d listen about your travel stories and stuff

[Aasmankikudi]

I worked with qatar airways for 8 years and I left the job because I got married and I had to relocate to dubai. It’s been a year and I feel so depressed and sad about leaving qatar. I still haven’t found what I want to do in my life.
Flying will always be part of your beautiful memories. Filled with travel history new places new food new people. I used to hate it while I was working with qatar but now I always tell my friends and colleague to enjoy each and every destination.

glad you have a life after cab crew bravo Veronica

[alicecolomberotto]

Omg I was looking for videos today about burnout, I m currently super burn out and leaving EK in a week, and I found you!
I also had to start therapy, to help me go to the process of leaving because I really feel that part of my identity will be gone, if I m not the one travelling who am I?
So interesting and so nice to not feel I m the only one feeling this way!
I m excited actually to find out who I will become, inshallah all will be good and even better🤞💓

Happy for you, Veronica. I myself used to fly for my country's flag carrier. Having gone through the 6 year flying experience brought me to greater opportunities in the corporate sector - not necessarily skillset wise but perception and soft skills wise. Still, I'm grateful for the experience in the skies. It sure was a fun yet challenging experience, but has been the biggest catalyst to where I am sailing to at the moment. Great content!

Pretty much any jobs in aviation are their own meatgrinders. Attendants, Pilots, Mechanic, Ground crew, even if you can make a long career, you all deal with shift work, working holidays, weekends. It's never really a normal career path.

[RUSHYRUSHBABY]

What a great video. I am so proud of you. I was completely lost after leaving. I knew the path I wanted to take but... I also knew how hard it was gonna be. AND YOU KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT CAUSE YOU NEVER LEFT ME! Te quiero

[SodweeB]

Hey there Veronica! Glad to see your videos popping in my youtube algorythm. I was a crew for 3 years back in 2008 to 2010 and used to run a written EK blog (at the time alongside Melissa from Tampax Towers / Greta and a few other OG bloggers) of my travels and how to get in the airline with tips and tricks called Airboy. My staff number was 390064 (still remember it : goes to show how "cult-like" and deranged it felt to work for them) and got a truck load of spicy stories backed up with pictures and first hand account tea...I totally feel aligned with the horror stories you've been through and would be happy to share some experience with you after 10 years out of the golden cage EK life was. Anyway, keep up the content and good omen for your future endeavours.

Best, Ben aka Sodwee / AIrboy.

I worked for many years in one of the top 10 airlines in the world. I can understand the process you are going through very well. No one can tell you the electricity, pressure you receive from the moment you first get on the plane until you leave the plane, the pressure you receive when you deal with people, etc. It was not easy to make this decision, especially after I turned 30, but I can say that everything will be very different in time. Good luck.

Hi, I just found your channel looking for cabin crew experiences in Emirates. What I am hearing from you feels to me like if you were in a “cult”. I understand a professional career is part of who we are, but I have heard people getting burned out from careers however your story feels different. I am glad you’re doing better.

[helenahayes]

I hope you get to become a Mom. Just be mindful that when the kids leave home (and I'm at that place now) and are independent, you will go through the same thing again of not knowing who you are and trying to work out who you are without them.

[arushimalhotra]

i can relate to every word you said, i am going through a career transition. i literally feel like a toddler who needs career guidance in the corporate world even after a decade of experience in aviation.

Death of a baby on board. So sad and traumatic. Which year did that happen ? It takes years for most employees to recover from something like this.

Hola Vero, no sé si me leerás, pero bueno te cuento como me siento yo, y así me desahogo también, jaja. Yo te descubrí cuando hiciste el vídeo con Denisse de las Pochoclo sessions al ser despedida de EK. En ese momento, yo estudiaba derecho y mi sueño era viajar. A pesar de que, tanto Denisse como tú advertísteis de las cosas malas de EK, yo en ese momento lo vi como un sueño, además la situación en 2020 en todo el mundo estaba muy mal, en España en concreto hubieron muchos problemas económicos. Estuve dos años viajando y trabajando por Europa, sin terminar la carrera de derecho porque pensaba que esa era la vida que yo quería, los viajes. Hasta que en enero de 2023, terminé la carrera y me uní a EK. Al principio todo era maravilloso, odié el training pero todo lo bueno lo compensaba. A los seis meses, recibí un final warning por algo que me parece estúpido y que se podría haber resuelto hablando las cosas como personas civilizadas. Realmente me afectó, pero todavía quería seguir viajando, hasta que en diciembre fui de vacaciones a España y vi a mi prima. Ella sólo tiene cuatro años más que yo, también es graduada en derecho y tiene un trabajo en estable en un Ayuntamiento donde gana más de lo que yo gano en EK, trabaja muchas menos horas y es feliz junto a su marido y sus hijos. Entonces, sentí como si me cayera un jarro de agua fría. Yo acababa de cumplir veinticinco años, hacía tres años que no tenía nada que ver en el mundo del derecho y estaba "limpiando mierda de indios" a 40.000 pies de altura. En ese momento, deseé tener la vida de mi prima, comencé a pensar que yo valía para algo más que limpiar vómito de indios y empecé a ver a mis compañeras como niñas tontas que no usan su cerebro y sólo hablan de manicura, inyecciones labiales y mejores destinos del mundo. Todo este año lo he pasado así, bastante amargada, mirando mal al resto de azafatas y pasando los días off encerrada en casa. Hoy mismo mandé mi email de dimisión. Todavía no tengo claro qué va a ocurrir en mi futuro. Siento que todo lo que me había atraído de este trabajo y el tipo de vida que algún día quise se ha ido a la basura. Ya no quiero los lujos que ofrece Dubái, ni los viajes, ni la vida ajetreada. Soy de un pequeño pueblo en España y siempre desprecié la vida rural y sencilla, y ahora mismo sólo quiero la tranquilidad, poder pasear a mi perrito, dejar de vestirme con blazer para ir a comprar el pan. Ya no sé quién soy más, ya no sé si soy la persona materialista que creía ser o soy la persona que quiere una vida sencilla en un pueblito. Es como si no tuviera identidad.
