Once hired as a flight attendant do you have the option to go work part time? Are you in full control of when your work?Even on reserve days? Thank you for sharing!
@valenciaflyer6 күн бұрын
Hi there May. Thank you so much for the comment and the question. Yes, once you are on the line, you do have the option to work part time. Many of my flight attendant friends only work two or three trips per month. Some of them even have other jobs that they do on the side. That is very common. So the nice thing about this career is that it is very flexible, at least with my company. All companies are not the same so do your research. I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Have a wonderful rest of your summer and thanks for watching and subscribing.😁

Instead of using freezer packs in your meal bag, try reusable ice bags (like the kind people use for injuries). Your hotel may not have room fridges, but they always have ice machines! Another plus is that those bags stay dry on the outside, so your food doesn't get all wet. No microwave? Get a Hot Logic. And some oven-safe dishes, in case you want to heat up your food on the plane. No, I am not a flight attendant, but I follow a number of them! 😎

I don’t think they should serve alcohol on planes. Flying is stressful as it is and when you add alcohol things can get out of hand. Also, hot coffee should not be served. If you run into turbulence, the hot coffee will spill and burn the passenger. Also, if someone abruptly reclines their seat and the passenger behind them has hot coffee on their little table, the coffee can again spill.
@valenciaflyer6 күн бұрын
That is certainly an option to not serve alcohol. In my experience things only get out of hand every blue blue moon. 99.99% of the time everyone is very relaxed and cooperative. As far as coffee though there have been sometimes where I’m sure people did spill on themselves because of the turbulence. That I’m sure is much more likely to happen. Thanks for the comment.

I'm doing well today. How about yourself? A lot of us end up staying because of the flight benefits its really what makes up for the pay. It always amazes me when I meet coworkers that have never used their flight benefits. That was my brother in law. He worked @DaddyD since 1973 for over 50+ years and never got on a plane. But my mother in law used them all the time. Day trips are the best!I know what you mean about meeting someone new. In my base we have over 7500. Sad that sometimes you may never see them again. great content
@valenciaflyer14 күн бұрын
Hey there, Cherie. Great to hear from you. Yes, sadly I’m one of those that has not used his flight benefits to its fullest yet. I guess I was just still trying to set myself up within the first year. But I definitely plan to hit Tokyo, Amsterdam and Madrid, hopefully before the year is done. So 7500 FA’s. Where are you based? Yes, sad that I sometimes don’t see or work with flight attendants again after we’ve had a great trip. But it’s still exciting to meet new crew for me, so I guess that kind of makes up for it. Thank you for the comment and for being an amazing subscriber. I really appreciate you. Have a wonderful night and we will talk soon. 😁

Only 101 away from 1k 🎉 (I swear I'm feeling like your #1 fan 😂) My biggest struggle is gonna be the food situation, the time changes and the lack of sleep, I value sleep as it's so important for the body to recover. Question, is it only the lead FA who gets to cover the flight deck when they need to step out? Or would it be any FA? That's pretty cool to catch a view like that!!! ❤ safe travels my friend ✈️

Hey there, Michelle, my number one fan. Hope you’re doing well. Always great to hear from you. Yes, I am almost there to 1000 subscribers. So exciting. Thank you for making this journey a pleasant one. I really appreciate you. So yes, any flight attendant can go into the flight deck. It’s usually the flight leader and the flight leader assist that go up there simply because they are at the front of the plane most of the time. But whoever is available can relieve a pilot. It is a thrill to be up there. One I still very much enjoy. Thank you again for watching and subscribing. I’ve started my flight training and will do my best to get some of those videos up as well.

What a wonderful airline that you work for.. I got the job in Feb this year in well knowing airline in the middle east as i am a citizen there but they pay us 4$ per hour for flying or for out of base 🥲💔 and a 6$ for any hour over 100hr a month and we dont get a boarding pay at all my maximum monthly salary reaches 3180$.. that if i worked my ass up to reach it. Its sad for all of the crew in my airline and it’s spreading negative vibes and gossiping and make the job so hard.. the unfortunate thing is that its a governmental airline company and they dont know how to make profit same as the other airlines next to us l.. we did bot get bounce pay and will not get it any time soon 😂💔💔

It always amazes me when I meet coworkers that have never used their flight benefits. That was my brother in law. He worked @DaddyD since 1973 for over 50+ years and never got on a plane. But my mother in law used them all the time. Day trips are the best!I know what you mean about meeting someone new. In my base we have over 7500. Sad that sometimes you may never see them again. great content
Hey there, Cherie. Great to hear from you. Yes, sadly I’m one of those that has not used his flight benefits to its fullest yet. I guess I was just still trying to set myself up within the first year. But I definitely plan to hit Tokyo, Amsterdam and Madrid, hopefully before the year is done. So 7500 FA’s. Where are you based? Yes, sad that I sometimes don’t see or work with flight attendants again after we’ve had a great trip. But it’s still exciting to meet new crew for me, so I guess that kind of makes up for it. Thank you for the comment and for being an amazing subscriber. I really appreciate you. Have a wonderful night and we will talk soon. 😁
Thank you for another great video! Only 101 away from 1k 🎉 (I swear I'm feeling like your #1 fan 😂) My biggest struggle is gonna be the food situation, the time changes and the lack of sleep, I value sleep as it's so important for the body to recover. Question, is it only the lead FA who gets to cover the flight deck when they need to step out? Or would it be any FA? That's pretty cool to catch a view like that!!! ❤ safe travels my friend ✈️
Hey there, Michelle, my number one fan. Hope you’re doing well. Always great to hear from you. Yes, I am almost there to 1000 subscribers. So exciting. Thank you for making this journey a pleasant one. I really appreciate you. So yes, any flight attendant can go into the flight deck. It’s usually the flight leader and the flight leader assist that go up there simply because they are at the front of the plane most of the time. But whoever is available can relieve a pilot. It is a thrill to be up there. One I still very much enjoy. Thank you again for watching and subscribing. I’ve started my flight training and will do my best to get some of those videos up as well. Have a wonderful night. Talk soon. 😊
Detroit is my favorite city to visit! I’m considering moving up there !
Yes, that would be a wonderful option. Detroit has a lot to offer. And real estate right now is not as expensive as I imagine it will be in five years. If I were you, I would take advantage and consider it well. All the best to you. Thanks for the comment, for watching and subscribing. 😃
Wishing you every success on this new chapter of your life…you can do this.
Thanks so much!! It is a whole new world for sure. But a pretty awesome new skill that I’m attempting. Stay tuned and I’ll let you know how things are going. Thanks for the comment. 😃
I love watching your videos , I live here in Vancouver as well, what’s the best contact information?
Hi there. Thank you so much for the comment. And thanks for watching and subscribing. The best place to reach out is DM me on IG @valenciaflyer. Have a wonderful day. 😁
It is important to mention had you not got on that PDX flight in the beginning, you had at least one more back up flight to get to your base!
Ideally yes. But that’s not always the case. So one has to plan accordingly. 😄
Thankyou i just sent a request on Instagram
Hi i just recently subscribed to your channel and i interested in asking you a few questions on applying to different airlines what is the best way to get in touch with you thanks
Hi there. Thanks for watching and subscribing! You can reach me through the instagram messaging. My IG is also ValenciaFlyer. I wish you all the best. Thanks again! 👍
Thank you very much for sharing the details and breakdown. I am sure you love your job as I am. On top of income we are enjoying it.
Hey there, Justin. Great to hear from you. Yes, the job has been very good to me and exciting. Still much to learn in the coming years. The increase in pay is going to be very helpful with rising costs of living. But overall, it has been very rewarding. Have a wonderful evening. Talk soon.😃
What a wonderful airline that you work for.. I got the job in Feb this year in well knowing airline in the middle east as i am a citizen there but they pay us 4$ per hour for flying or for out of base 🥲💔 and a 6$ for any hour over 100hr a month and we dont get a boarding pay at all my maximum monthly salary reaches 3180$.. that if i worked my ass up to reach it. Its sad for all of the crew in my airline and it’s spreading negative vibes and gossiping and make the job so hard.. the unfortunate thing is that its a governmental airline company and they dont know how to make profit same as the other airlines next to us l.. we did bot get bounce pay and will not get it any time soon 😂💔💔
Wow. That is a massive difference in Pay and philosophy. I hope that things get better for you in your career. Thank you so much for sharing that. I had no idea there was such a difference between airlines around the world. Have a wonderful evening. Thanks again for sharing.😄
Thank you!!
My pleasure. Thank you so much for watching and subscribing. I hope the information has been helpful. Have a wonderful evening.😊
Something tells me 🎉it will be a noticeable difference when you get your anniversary pay jump in July 🎉 because you got a raise on June 1st. So you will see quite a few dollars bump on hourly and boarding🎉...my anniversary is in July also....I'm contemplating now how I want to bid 😢 for that month... happy flying 😄
Hey there,Cherie. Thanks so much for the comment. Hope you’re doing well. Yes, I expect that. I will see some sort of a difference in year two. Year one has been very cool. I’m actually going to lift this week so I will be able to see all of my classmates one last time. Have a wonderful evening. Talk soon.😁
Wow, some of those 3 day trips paid really well ❤
I agree. Some trips do pay pretty well. Overall, I’m very lucky and grateful to have this job. I try to share my experience and knowledge as best as I can with others. Thank you for the comment and for watching. Have a great day.😁
Your videos drag man you have to make it short and to the point
You know, for all the information contained in this video I think it went pretty quickly! KZread has this cool button feature where you can play the video faster if that helps you! Lol 😜
Thank you so much for the info Sunday, June 16. I have an interview Lake Mary Florida with allegiant airline. I appreciate your info.
That’s wonderful news. I wish you all the very best. I’m sure you’re going to do amazingly in the interview. Thanks so much for the comment. Let us know how it goes. 😄
Very detailed and well put together to understand how pay works! Thanks for that! Is your airline going to be hiring this year? I’m assuming you work for 1 of the big 3 that might not have a union if I’m correct? Let me know. Thanks so much for this video it was exciting to hear! Take care!
Hi there, Aimee. Hope you’re doing well. Yes, you are correct on the airline that I work for. The rumor is that they may be hiring once again in the fall. I’ll let you know once I know. Thanks so much for your comment, I hope that the info was helpful. Have a great evening. 😀
@@valenciaflyer yes plz once u hear something plz let us know! I would love to apply
I'm hoping you can get to 1k subscribers before the end of this month!!! ⭐ Great video and thank you so much for taking the time to break all of it down! ❤⭐❤⭐❤ Also noticed the new intro footage, nice! Of course I have questions 😎 When you deadhead, are you in Uniform and if you are in a regular seat, not a jump seat, are you allowed to close/rest your eyes? As for the HI and AK, it's my guess that when flying over the ocean, that's considered international waters? Such a helpful video! One of the absolute best ones. I expect nothing less of you 😉 Keep up the great work!! ✈️
Hey there, Michelle, thanks so much for the comment. As far as deadheading, yes, we are allowed to rest which is nice. Yes, we are in uniform. Thanks so much for your wonderful comment. This one did take quite a while to edit with all the information that I wanted to convey. We will cross our fingers for the 1K within a few months. Have a wonderful evening. Talk soon. 😄
