Have you ever been 'lectured' about driving by someone who does not know how to drive? Or maybe having a basketball coach who never even plays basketball? Or maybe being 'schooled' by someone about sales who never even closed a single sale by his own in his entire life? Well flight attendants experience similar incidents a lot of times, when people who have minimal knowledge or even never worked as a flight attendant or in the commercial aviation industry,  sort of 'lectures' the cabin crew about their duties and responsibilities.

An iceberg in the middle of an ocean may just look like a piece of ice. It is small and its size above the water is nothing compared to the size of a whole ship. Guess what, despite their size, ships do everything to get far from the floating piece of ice which is not even bigger than half of the ship. because in 1912, that small piece of ice brought down a whole ship, the RMS Titanic.

Christmas is a very much celebrated season in the Philippines. It is a time of reunions where family members in other countries return to their motherland, the Philippines, to celebrate Noche Buena. Christmas in the Philippines is known to be the longest celebrated Christmas in the world, where everything begins once the "Ber" months kick-in. For our flight attendants, it is a season they do look forward to also, to spend time with their families.

When Flight Attendants Say They Are Tired

12/10/2018

When flight attendants say that they are tired and they would rather sleep, believe us, they mean it. Yes we do understand that all jobs are tiring at one point but that of a flight attendant is more than just being tired no matter how glamorous things may seem. It can be tiring both physically and emotionally and this is something we should understand why they say it is a sin to disrupt a flight attendant's sleep after a day's flying duty.

If You Think That Flight Attendants Are "Just Waiters in the Sky", You're Totally Wrong

8/27/2018

Picture
A typical airline passenger would see a flight attendant greet them, check if seatbelts are fastened, window shades are up, tray tables are stowed, seats are in upright position, serve meals, attend to other passenger needs, make landing checks, and carry out landing safety procedures. For some people alone, seeing this scene alone makes them claim that flight attendants are "just waiters in the sky". This is 100% absolutely wrong to be straightforward about it.

Tsismisan Between Flight Attendants and It's Effects

Flight attendant in the photo has no direct involvement with the topic. Photo is used only for representation purposes.
The airline industry is definitely one big 'showbiz'. Tsismis, otherwise known as 'gossip' in English, is very rampant in our industry, and I am quite talking about the airline industry as a whole, and not just one in particular. Whether you like it or not, anyone can be a victim to this phenomenon, whether you are a flight attendant or not. I have been flying for more than 6 years and I myself were both a victim and a starter of tsismis.

The classic and famous quote, “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life” by Confucius hangs on the office walls as a visual reminder before I head out for a flight. I couldn’t agree more. We are all entitled to work. Basically that’s the rule of life. Do you every wonder what it takes for a cabin crew to stay on a high-risk job? How about those questions like “Do you get any rest?” or “How can you manage to keep all passengers safe and sane in flight?” Not to mention, the iconic “Aren’t you afraid of your job?” Trust me, I get this a lot.

Juggling Jobs Being a Flight Attendant and Being a Mom

8/10/2018

Contributed and written by F/A Mary Beth Benitez

Being a flight attendant and a mother to a 4-year old toddler is quite difficult…difficult in the sense that my daughter’s understanding of my work which mostly take much of my time away from her, is still vague. When she was born, I thought of ways to make her understand that my job entails that I need to be away from her for several days as it is necessary for me to earn a living so I could provide for her daily needs.
