A great insight into your working life which so many of us never get chance to see beyond the "flight" - really insightful and informative. Sincere condolences on the loss of your former colleague.
You are right! I guess to most people, Flight Attendants are just “part of the plane” haha we live in it, sleep in it and don’t exist outside of this aircraft! There are a lot of thing going on behind the scenes that people don’t get to see! (And sadly I can’t show a lot of it!!) thank you for your thoughts… we lost a beautiful soul, a kind and smart woman. She will be dearly missed.
Thank you Anthony!! As a former FA yourself, I’m sure you know how it feels to get stuck in a “prep”rut! I’m hoping this can give other FAs out there some ideas! 😃
.. and thank you for the beautiful message you put out there in honor of your former colleague, Phil .. i'll bet you helped more people than you realized with that. Big hug for you .. i know that had to be so difficult for you to record.
@@N145PM honestly… it was such a hard day to be recording a video. I almost scrapped the whole video altogether! I usually film my videos in a positive and joyful headspace, but on that day it was the total opposite. I felt at a loss and didn’t know what direction this video would take. Even when I re-watch this segment, it still feels heavy in my heart. My intention was not to “put it out there for drama values” and try to gain sympathy from strangers or anything like that. I chose to keep on going because that’s part of life, and like you said, if that helped ONE person, then I feel proud to have kept on pushing for this important message to see the light of day!
@@TheBlizzardFlyer You just showed us all another side of yourself, Phil ... i think that show of your feelings and emotions just made all of us like you even more! Much respect for you for continuing with the vid in spite of how you were feeling .. very clear you're a very strong (and caring) person!
I’m new here (found this through Noel Philips) and I just want to say thank you- this is fascinating to me! I am going to love this channel! So sorry about your colleague.
Phil, so sorry about your friend! Cherish the wonderful memories you have of her! Your little doggies are so cute! What are their names? You always look so put together and I think you are handsome! Good for you for delaying passengers loading till the lav was cleaned! Yuck!
Thank you Diane! We really did lose a beautiful soul, smart and very kind person. She will be missed dearly. My dogs are named Nibbler and Dash :) PS: I'm sure that if you were travelling on a plane with a dirty toilet, that's all you would remember of your experience and it would for sure tarnish your opinion on the airline! and besides.... it might be selfish but I, for sure, wasn't going to spend my day in a smelly plane! haha
@@TheBlizzardFlyer Love the names of your doggies! Sounds like there might be stories behind those names! Lol Yeah, who wants to be on a plane with a smelly toilet!
@@dianeboileau2026 There sure is!! Nibbler is from a cartoon called "Futurama" (which is form the creator of "The Simpsons" and Dash is named after Queen Victoria's dog, a King Charles spaniel called Dash :)
I'm sorry to hear about your colleague/friend. :( I just came across your channel. I like how you sharing your adventure life as a flight attendant. Thank you.
@@TheBlizzardFlyer oh god, i remember it well ... the airline i flew for had Fokker F27s (same size as your Dash 8-300s) and the lavs were just a toilet seat over a tank, basically .. no flushing ... it all just sat in there sloshing around till the lav was dumped (never often enough) ... and in the summertime .... oh yea .. i know exactly the awful stank you were talking about! LOL! ;)
Interesting take on what you call Shepard Pie. here in the U.K. a Shepards Pie is mince, diced onions, garlic, garden peas and carrots, and gravey topped off with mashed potato. But I will give your version a try if you try our version.
yes! This is the french Canadian spin on it. it's also called "pâté chinois" which translates into "Chinese pot pie" although we don't use that name in english. the story behind that is that when the canadian railways were being built, there were lots of asians working on the tracks and they were fed a dish similar to shepherd's pie but instead of onions/garlic/peas and carrots, they used corn because it was cheaper. Remember that Canada has been torn between the French and English, therefore a lot of our culture and cuisine is a blend of both :)
Love, Love, Love...that you went where few Flight Attendant vloggers have gone! The Lav that has gone vile! Good for you that you would not board passengers before things were cleaned up! I notice as a passenger, some F/a's feel that the LAV is not their problem... if the passengers made a mess, they can poop in the LAV their cohorts messed up. I'm not sure what different airlines do in training and what the expectation is of F/a's in-flight to keep the LAV reasonably under control. I guess on the 737-200combi you do have a dedicated crew Lav at L1. :) In an unrelated comment... When you travel north do you have any concerns about TB exposure on the aircraft? Does your company address in training the prevalence of TB in the north and use of PPE if required? (Pre Covid-19)
Yep! That lav was horrible! It’s just common sense to refuse boarding until it’s been fixed I guess lol! We do have the fwd lav available but only the pilots use it in a combi configuration as we’d have to cross the cargo cabin as well as the barrier net…. So it’s pretty hard to access so we just don’t bother haha! As for TB, it is a real issue up north and we definitely are kept aware of this. In all my years in the north I’ve only known of 1 person contracting TB and it was a ramp agent in Kuujjuaq. There is definitely TB awareness but we don’t have specific procedures in that regard.
Subscribed from Noel Phillips. I realise that both English and French are spoken in Canada but wondering why do you label your meals in both languages?
I want to come to your house for dinner!.Sorry to hear about your ex colleague.I thought it was 1 flight attendant per 50 pax,how come you have two for 24 pax?.Regards from Yorkshire,England.
Thank you. We lost a smart, kind and beautiful soul. In Canada, the ratio is 1 F/A for 40 pax but a flight attendant is required for each set of « floor level exits »(meaning actual doors), however exemptions are available to use 1/50 but my airline did not request that. There is also « aircraft certification » that comes into play. For example the Dash8 has been certified as a single F/A aircraft even if it has more than 40 seats. As for the 737, because it has 2 sets of floor level exits (front and back set of doors), even if they are not accessible by passengers when used in combi configuration, we are required to carry a F/A for each. So basically 1-80 passengers is 2 F/A’s :)
do the best at whatever u are doing at anytime ... imho pandemic is mostly planned and not good... fraud test etc.. praying for restoration worldwide. stick together and learn how to say no to dictates
I found out about your channel from the surprise Noel Phillips crossover, so keep up the good work.
Thank you!!! And I hope you enjoy the videos!! :)
I love how you label your own meals in both English and French 😆
Haha! At some point I also planned on editing my videos in French too.. I did it for one video and it "tanked" so bad.... haha
Since the flight that Noel Philips was one I just subscribed to your channel and I must say I enjoyed it alot. Keep up the awesome work.

Thank you!!
P.S. 21:26 .. "gag worthy and not in a good way" ... LMAO!!! ;)
Haha!! But it was!! 🤮Lol Sickening, gag worthy but in the literal sense, unfortunately!

also... I have tried the British (and original) version of Shepherd's pie back in the UK and I have to admit it's pretty darn good!
Is that a Dachshund I see hovering around the kitchen?
Yep! I have 2 :)

ah, dachsy person,,, how many flight attendants on that combi??
Between 2 and 4, depending on the configuration:)
do u view other flight attendant Ytubers?? im in midwest usa.. near fligh path.. right now i hear a jet going over... lots of cargo planes of late..
@@davefisher1417 i do! i love Kat Nesbitt, Life by Francesco and Wonderfully Ale :)
By any chance did you use to work for an inflight catering company? The meals you make look like the type that you would heat up in an onboard oven.
Nope… never have lol I guess after a few years I just know what travels well and what doesn’t :)
ur neighbors probably thought u were dead on lawn.. ahhhhh
😂 I’m sure they have!
