Ahhhh what a busy reserve month! With my seniority (after 6 years of flying) I am only on reserve about 3 months out of the year so I wanted to document this past month all in one video. Thank you so much for being here, for taking the time out of your day to watch this video & I hope you stick around for more 😊 If you have any questions about being a flight attendant please put them in the comment section below and I will do my best to answer them here or make an entirely separate Q&A type video!

I've been lucky enough to have a good job in phx az, working at sky harbor airport. I was part of a team that cleans the inside of airplanes. I've seen Michael Khare doing challenge accepted video. She went to be a flight attendant. So I have a basic idea ❤

I was on an AA flight last night. I was sitting in economy but travelling "premium" because I'd been rebooked from first class. The flight attendant gave me a beer at no charge. Usually when I'm sitting in economy I'm charged for a beer. Was this just the discretion of the flight attendant or was there a reason it was free?

Thank you for the vid. I'm kinda curious how you Gal's Iive and work. I sailed as an Engineer for about 15 years. Loved it. But travel back and forth to the ship! Hated it. Only way l can get thru a Iong trip is get up and go back aft to talk to the stew's and anyone else happening by. So thank you Gal's 😊 for doing what you do. Stewardessing isn't for everyone, l can sure see that.

Boy, I really appreciate the stewardess and stewards now I will be super sweet and do everything to make their life better

After listening to the flight sequences for your month of May, reminds me that I am so glad that I’m retired now going on 4 years with 36 years as a pilot at AA. Good luck in your career you seem to have a great attitude. 👨‍✈️✈️

Congratulations on a wonderful career!! Enjoy your retirement! ☺️✈️

In my teens I really wanted to be a flight attendant. I had flown many times to and from European airports, plus 2 return long-haul. I thought it was such a great job and the flight attendants always looked so lovely in their uniforms. My parents got the daughter of their friends to come talk to me. She, whilst enjoying an excellent salary and free flights for holidays, brought me down to earth by explaining what the training and everyday working was like. I went to university and found my ideal place in life. I love flying and, having been raised well, have never been a Karen on a flight. I can see why you are so good at what you do. You have a calmness and personality to handle what can be a very stressful job. So glad I found your channel.

Newfound respect Julia for all FAs. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. You are essential to the industry.

Julia I gotta say, your channel brings a sense of comfort to me. I’m not a flight attendant, but I work crazy hours/shifts for my job & I can work up to 6/7 in a row. And sometimes we get notified about changes just a few hours in advance or whatnot. And I’m also about an hour away from work like yourself. So it’s definitely comforting to know that I’m not the only one who has a grind like this haha. Keep up these awesome vlogs!

Dedication, levelheadiness, and generous flexibility. Seems to be paramount importance. Absolutely amazing how you can deal with all the minor and major setbacks.👌

Hi Julia. What a crazy time you had. I'm not a flight attendant, but know the airline industry very well as I'm a travel agent. Have been for the last 32 years and our job is crazy and underpaid - as well. Imagine dealing with all of these delays which mess up clients trips and trying to navigate in between all of this. The times when the airlines paid us commissions included in the ticket price - are long gone, since right after 9/11, so we have to charge service fees for issuing airline tickets. This video shows clearly how hard you guys work and how important for the passengers - is to have a trip cancellation/trip interruption insurance. Greetings from Ontario, Canada 🤗

I'm new here and I think you're just a beautiful and caring young woman. I'm an RN but not currently working due to my own health issues. I just love your love for your baby, Luna. We have four dogs and our oldest looks just like Luna. Her name is Sandy. There's no better love and comfort than that of a four-legged child ❤ Your airline is very fortunate to have someone as dedicated as you are. I hope they know that. Take care, stay safe, and keep smiling, it's contagious ❤

I have been watching your channel for a month or so. You have opened my eyes as what your job requires. I had no idea how stressful and uncertain your day to day could be. When I fly now I will have so much appreciation for flight attendants.

That first trip you had with all the cancelations, changes to the trip, and uncerntinty is exactly why I would never be a flight attendant. Not that I even have the right personality for it lol but holy moly not knowing where you're going or when you're arriving or even if your trip can change at the drop of a hat is so much. Kudos to flight crew and pilots because that is too much for me.

My sister was a "stewardess" for United in the 1960s based in SFO. It was a more glamorous time, but was regulated, and therefore she had a pretty regular schedule each month. Aviation has really changed since 1978, with both positives and negatives. You have a wonderful attitude and I know it can test your patience. Stay safe!

New subscriber here! Not a flight attendant but love your content and personality! Traveling this weekend and have a TOTALLY different appreciation for FA’s!

First video I've seen of yours. So interesting and informative. I had no idea this is how it worked!

Eric sounds like a good dude, enjoy your flight

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and I thought my life as a Special Ed Teacher was busy.....my goodness you were busy. Glad your flights were safe. Thank YOU for all of your hard work keeping US safe when we fly. God bless

working in crew-scheduling must be so stressful and exhausting, they have all my admiration

Hey Julia! I'd love for you to make another one of these videos and maybe talk about what the application/interview process is like, training, any perks/benefits you receive as a FA, if and how raises are given, how paid time off works, etc. I'm also curious to know if you would consider flying for another airline given the current state of yours, but obviously you don't have to answer that if it would get you in trouble lol. Thanks 😊

I always treat my FA's to a chocolate bag of treats....they always love being appreciated As they should be ❤️

I'm exhausted just watching this!!

In the eyes of the general public, flight attendants appear to be enjoying a “glamorous and fun” job. However, as a retired aircrew member who has accumulated over 10K hours of flight time; I know that assumption is not accurate. To be an aircrew member; including pilots, flight attendants or stewards; you must be totally focused on your job and have a Plan A, B, C, or D in place in order to cope with an ever changing working environment….additionally, you’ll need to deal with the “Circadian Effect” that affects any crew member who transits multiple zones during a typical workday….Have a good one!!😅

Flight Attendants definitely deserve better pay!! I can't believe you don't get paid for boarding and deplaning!! 😕 Thank you for giving us a better idea exactly what is involved in being a FA Julia😊 Hello to Eric and Miss Luna!!❤

@@kellyjones3431 I used to be one and know the facts about flight pay. No one in his/her right mind thinks a Flight Attendant gets $40-70 per hour when nurses, etc. don't make that. That high flight hour pay is supposed to compensate for all of the "unpaid time" boarding, etc. Flight Attendant engage in.

I love this idea. My airline depending on our base we can be away from home at least 2 weeks or more out of the month, longer doing summer flying. Thank you for sharing ❤😊

Great video. Since I work for SEPTA rail division in Philly, it’s really interesting to see how other transportation professionals work their jobs. Thanks.

Wow Julia one has to really love the job to handle that much uncertainty in the schedule when on reserve. So many things can go wrong. Constant time zone changes. Chaotic sleep schedule. Wow I just didn't realize all the uncertainty.

Julia I love how you explain everything you do on this channel and I was a little quizy win you said the little boy got sick and I felt bad for that older gentleman was not feeling him self on your flight thank God you saw him before your plane left the gate.

Thanks Julia, really enjoyed the vlog as usual. 🇬🇧

That Philly sunset was so beautiful

While I hope you don’t have another month as chaotic as this one, I really loved the style of this vlog with the focus on schedules and logistics and would love to see more like this!

Hello! Sorry I've dropped off commenting for a while, have been watching more on phone / phone to TV than computer. Wow, reserve month is intense! Plus to think that you're making content, editing -- thank you for all the time and effort you put in, especially during reserve months! Glad to hear that July is around the corner, with trips of your choosing (hope you do make it to Vegas!) & birthday celebrations! :) Safe travels!

Were you able somehow to get your mom’s Mothers Day presents to her? More seriously, the last part of April and all of May has been real rough weather wise, especially in the Midwest, “Tornado Alley”, and along the Gulf Coast; I can’t remember such a stretch for such a sustained time period since at least 2011 or ‘12. I can only guess if you were still posted at Dallas-Fort Worth the delays may have been more numerous! Hope that the weather-and your travels-calm down the rest of the summer!!

Ok we got the Luna sass frisbee return and rolling on her back in the first three minutes. Off to a great start

What great insight! So entertaining. I subscribed!

I love your content 💕 keep it up 😊

Great vlog as always, Julia. What a crazy reserve month. Since this one was so crazy, maybe the next one should be a piece of cake. Always great to see Luna. Did you ever get to go to Vegas and give your mom her presents?

Julia love the video always happy when you post luna is so cute love ❤❤❤

I really enjoy your channel! Before I retired last year I was on your airline for years. I would travel at least 150 days per year so I had super status. Since I don’t fly mulch anymore, I lost my miles and status. Kinda sucks but but now I just book First so I don’t have to stare at the screen showing upgrades. Thanks for your channel again. Since I don’t fly as much, it makes me feel like I’m in the air while I’m at home reading and staring at the mountains in Palm Springs! ,

Ahhhh another lovely summer pairing trip ( delays, weather, cancelations, timing out, multiple DHD) on the glamorous life of us FA s 😊😂

Good job nice to see how you manage in that extremely challenging situation and career. I follow quite a few Pilots debriefs & love aviation technology. Take care safe travels 🧡

You guys don't get the appreciation and respect you deserve. Last time I flew was in the late 90s. What I remember were not the nice landings or punctual arrivals or visits to the cockpit (totally normal back then). What I remember most was the commendable service I experienced as a kid while being on quite some flights with many airlines around the world. In the end, if the service is bad, the flight will be bad, period. While on the other hand, great service can even save an otherwise bad flight. It also helps that you gals always look impeccable. :D

Love your blog, I have to tell you with my 4 Million miles in the air and many hotel nights, I had to laugh because we both share eating dinners on the bed watching TV. HAHAHA. Safe travels and may your take offs always equal your landings.

My daughters best friend is going thru training, I hope she knows how flexible you have to be. Your right God's watching out for you on them delays.

Be aware of the turbulence’s Julia, specially CAT ones (Clear Air Turbulences) they can hit without any warning as you have seen lately in the news! Be careful, safe and sound! Love when luna does the grass swirl when you play 🥏

Great video, love your content. Just curious have you ever worked a trip or anything to Tucson, Arizona (my home city) because American fly here from a few different places so I was just wondering, or would you ever want to work a trip here should be my question, especially in the wintertime. Great content and keep up the great work! Can't wait for the next one.

Even when I don't have a lot time to sit down and have a full meal before boarding, I just buy a bag or 2 of Hot Cheetos (usually Lime flavored) and go. I snack on those during the flight. Really helps to have at least someting.

I also watch Mentour Pilot. He tells about problems they have with planes. Like trimming too far or an engine quits and the only way they can stay in the air is by using the rudder so it doesn't roll. Mayday situations! But he also demonstrated making an ILS landing. It's a great KZread channel. 👍

Lovely Video Julia. What a hectic reserve you had😮 I just shocked at your not payed until the Door shuts crazy so unfair all you FA deserve much beter pay conditions 🙏🤞 that in the Future they do change whole situation . Hope you manage to get some Great trips for your line month(s). Have a Lovely weekend 🥰

It's funny. I absolutely understand the flight limitations. I worked in IT and really loved long hours. And I was not paid for them either. You can do and learn things about networks, servers and applications when there's no one around. So it was work those hours, learn things and become better. But of course, I did not have other folks lives in my hands. So I am very happy that flight and cabin crew should be well rested.

With another airline and our reserve is slightly different, but it can get a little crazy too! Must say, Julia, you are super down-to-earth, gorgeous, and represent us all so well!!! Mahalo 🌺

Always appreciate the videos, many thanks. Just curious if you have ever considered a layover in Halifax, Nova Scotia. AA fly to Halifax from PHL during the summer schedule, and especially in July/August there can be some great things to see and do on the city’s waterfront and some unique shops and restaurants downtown. That said, not sure if the trip would only be available as a turn as they turn the aircraft around pretty quickly when it gets to YHZ.

You are very blessed. Indeed to be traveling like that I love your blogs and miss Luna of course

Hi Julia, thank’s for your vlogs and all the informations you give us. Do you ever get affraid when you encounter rough turbulence?

Very interesting to see a day....err month in the life. Can you tell a little more maybe about the model aircraft you enjoy flying on the most? How about talking about health regimen to stay healthy when always being around travelers who are sick etc... or from having to always eat out or at horels etc..

What a unique look in to your world. I really appreciate the job(s) you and your fellow FA do!! Thank you from the "land side" ;)

I was stuck in ORD at the end of May due to weather, too, and got put up in a hotel. Man, that was stressful and it was only the one time (ever) 😅 Have to say that the AA staff in ORD did their absolute best to not have me stuck somewhere in the middle of the night on my own (thanks, Anu) 🥰

As a flight attendant for Lufthansa, the only thing that stopped our flights, was fog. We took off in snow and rain storms.

Very informative. I think if I could have a do over, I would have been a flight attendant. But, I do see you have to flow with the changes!
