it's interesting to me to see the similarities and difference between other airlines. that's crazy that your airline chooses seniority that way! I feel like almost everyone else is by age in class. I started as a flight attendant when I was almost 28 and I thought I'd be very senior in my class, but I was in the middle. our service is based on mileage, and it makes me laugh that some service flights are shorter in time than those that only have first class service. the biggest thing my mom doesn't understand is why - when I'm on reserve - I can't just tell crew scheduling "no" and be done for the day 😂
I love how you actually understand that everybody has to start at the bottom. So many entitled people think they should be at the top instantly and that’s just not how life goes. You seem like a delight. These were really informative answers. So, every flight are you meeting new crew? Is there a way to make friends or is it a pretty solo job?
You definitely can connect with some really cool people on your flight. But then I may not see them for months on end after that lol. Sometimes I can work 4 days with the same crew and get to know them and other times crew scheduling swaps you around you might have a different crew every day, just depends really. But yeah at the end of the day it’s a very solo job you spend a lot of time on your own
You’re a really good talker Alyssa! Would be good to see what a meal looks like on your airline. Do you have to do annual training on cabin procedures,I am guessing you do ?
Thank you for enduring the sun and heat to make this video. 😀 Very informative video and fascinating on how it works. Question - so how does hotel costs and per diems work? Assuming you don't get any hotel loyalty points since the airline has paid for it? Do you need to leave your credit card for incidentals even though the airline has paid for the hotel? And I see you always bring food...so if they give you a per diem allowance for food but you brought your own, you get to keep that per diem, right? Keep up the good work w/ your videos. Almost 2K subscribers! Nice!
So yes hotels are paid by the company. We do not provide our credits ever. Some hotels let you give them your Hilton honors or Marriott Bonvoy for example and you can accrue some points which is awesome! Not always the case though. And yep per diem is just part of our pay but the intention is so we can afford food on layovers and what not
Congratulations your channel is growing so well. Do you ever get to fly to Hawaii for work often and see Damon? Or would you transfer to Hawaii. Damon might comment here. I cant find his channel?? Rob
How do flight attendants avoid getting sick all the time being exposed to all those germs from hundreds of people in cramped planes day in and day out? You must have built up a very strong immune system. I fly about 4 times a year and I know if I've got jet lag or just didn't sleep well the night before cause I'm all excited for the trip, its almost guaranteed I'll get sick 2-3 days after the flight when I arrive.
@@alittlebitoflyss - The decision to go mainline can be a challenge! You'll have to carefully weigh the pros and cons to determine what's right for you. Starting over seniority-wise on the bottom, choice of bases, pay and benefits, crash pad costs, etc., are just a few of the considerations you'll have to make. Lots to think about! Talking about position A and B suggests to me that you frequently fly E-175s, whereas your parent airline would typically be either A, B, and C on the -700s, or A, B, C, and D on the -800s and -900s. Is that pretty accurate? Subscribing, as I find FA careers very interesting! Cheers from GEG ❣

Omg YES! Explaining to family how our job works is so comedic. Reserve life is not for the weak 😂😭

My husband and I flew with your airline last year and were really, really pleased with it😊 We plan on flying them again
Amazing! That’s what we love to hear!
This is interesting! There are many terms used in aviation for sure.
Very informative Alyssa. Great job and thank you for the sacrifice of sitting in the heat to do this vlog😜.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for sharing Alyssa. You have a great speaking voice. 😊
Thank you!!
You’re a really good talker Alyssa!
Would be good to see what a meal looks like on your airline.
Do you have to do annual training on cabin procedures,I am guessing you do ?
We sure do! Every year we have to past the tests and do hands on safety tasks to stay current
Safe travels
Thanks Dave!
