Answering all your FA questions - part 3! #flightattendant #flightattendantlife #shorts

Flying free applied to all employees in, even retired, but it very difficult today. When my wife worked US Air we were always free with our kids. The thing to remember, your space available and that means sometimes you are not together. There was a few times at all four of us were separated. We taught our kids early to respect those sitting beside them and we never had any issues. I guess when you have a kid that behavior is good, it's better than a person who takes their seat and wants half of yours too. It's been many years since we have flown. Believe me, it has changed so much in the last 40 plus years. Much of the change was in the industry and not All for the good. I think the things I missed was the way people used to take pride in their appearance, now it looks like they just got out of bed and the way people talk to one another and feel entitled. It doesn't take anymore energy to be nice as to be rude and miserable. The big difference is how you leave the people you are talking to.

Flight crew numbers are determined by the number of seats in a plane. That is a FAA regulation

I hope you find the man of your dreams someday! ❤️😘

Question: are you always that gorgeous?

[justoutoftime]

My cousin married another flight attendant. They now have a couple of kids. They also fly together.

For others wondering if u work at ticket counter gate and ramp/baggage and reservations call center, u also get flight benefits and usually for ur kids and or mom and dad. If 2st class is available in ur flight and u are dressed correct, ur welcome to the seat. I liked reservations at call center, working ramp aka runway/tarmac and or baggage in my younger years was fun but ticket counter and gate stunk, public is more rude than not so u gota be able to withstand unreasonable ignorant ppl. Thank u for those of u who are kind.

Ha ! I just asked you if you deadhead a lot on another of your videos. I’m a locomotive engineer and we deadhead quite a bit, only we do it in a minivan.

For your last question where you get to pick a travel buddy, does it always have to be the same person each time? Like when hired on do you have to choose shortly after who you’d like to receive that benefit or can you swap it around each time you book a ticket?

having been an F/A in the 80's and serving meals and beverages for years, I ended up with FlightAttendanitus.

What’s the best snack or candy to give to a flight attendant?

[secretsquirrel]

[lammie]

You are cute. I wish you flew for the airline i work for.

[FreshTake]

Ok as a deadhead do you leave the flight attendants working the flight alone? 😅

[taetaeya]

Flying for free??? Hmmm I worked for TWA, Tower Air and Continental in the 1980’s-‘90’s. I never flew for free, except on company business passes. Employees on non-business pass trips paid a flat rate for:- Domestic flights; coach, or first class. International flights: coach, business class, first class. I recall International was like coach: $25. one way, First class: $50. one way. And all travel was charged against your ID card and payroll deducted on the paycheck the pay period following ticket lift. So I’d fly on TWA JFK-FCO (New York to Rome Italy) first class R/T for $100. And it was deducted from my paycheck after I’d travelled. The best part besides the price was that you didn’t pay in advance to fly. I was a reservations sales supervisor at TWA. The F/A’s always treated fellow employees great. You also get discount pass travel on other company flights. Ex: I flew on British Airways Concorde JFK-LHR (New York JFK to London Heathrow) for $200. R/T. It’s a great perk, but airline work is mentally and physically demanding. It takes a certain kind of person to thrive in an airline job. Ohh by the way, as a management employee of TWA, during a strike by our flight attendants union, I was selected as a fill-in f/a during the strike. I went through Flight Attendant training in our Kansas City training center, earned my wings and flew as a fill in crew member. I learned a huge respect for flight crews. It’s not about bringing you a coffee or soda. It’s a really important safety job to protect our passengers. P. S. I’m a guy. I was in my 30’s at the time.
