The truth about being a flight attendant

[Hvr]

A fluff piece from SMH about Emirates cabin crew. Probably nothing new for most of us.

I spend a lot of time in planes, and therefore a lot of time thinking about planes. And not just the planes, not even just the pilots, but the crew who are always smiling and handing me drinks.


What's their job like? Is it fun working in the skies? Or is it hard work?


So I decided to find out. I recently had a chat to Jenna McNaught, a 24-year-old who's worked as a cabin crew member for Emirates for the last three years or so. Turns out it's not all fun and games.

Read more like marketing material for Dubai and Emirates than about being cabin crew.

The big question remained unasked. Where do you see yourself in 5 years.

Good questions, but obviously very canned responses. I highly doubt Emirates would let anything naughty or overly interesting get published.

I particularly like the one about being scared on the plane. The only thing that scares me on the job is turbulence (and our rosters...). Mostly clear air turbulence. I'm sure most other flighties are the same.

Looks similar to what is in the video at The Aviation Experience in London.
