    I'm in the training course right now and so far I'm liking it, although it's a lot of information in very little time. I'm excited to obtain the CC attestation and I'm okay with the base I have been assigned to. Let's hope for the best❤😂

    • @eleanorjourney
      @eleanorjourney  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      They want a paper in which you state where you worked and the contacts of your previous employers so that they can be contacted. Note that this is very important, if they can't contact them and verify your references you won't be able to continue the training, so it's better not to mention the previous employers that you're not sure will reply. For periods of time in which you were unemployed for more than 3 months they will ask you the contacts of friends of yours you've known for more than 5 years to verify what you were doing.

      No, you can't choose your base! You need to be available to work anywhere in Europe. Sometimes they tell you which bases will be given if you start the training in a particular date, but you can never really be sure.

    Hi Eleanor,
    My name is Lorenzo. I am a first year Bachelor of Aviation Management student at Massey University in NZ. Interesting video. You talk a lot about stress, and I noticed you talked about how you left. Did you have any methods of reducing stress, such as regular religious/spiritual stuff and/or mindfulness, or exercise? Or not. If not, do you think changing that part of your life would make being a Ryan Air Flight Attendent more
    manageable? Also, would it be easy to move up ranks with a degree in aviation at Ryan Air?
    Thanks,
    Lorenzo

    • @eleanorjourney
      @eleanorjourney  ปีที่แล้ว

      The only thing that could have made working at Ryanair more manageable would have been having another based assigned, with a higher salary and different destinations😆
      About the degree, if you mean moving up ranks in the crew, so becoming a PU for example, no, a degree won't matter anything. I don't really know about other positions, I'm sorry!

      Dipende da dove sei basato, se ci sono voli frequenti e riesci ad andare e tornare nei 3 giorni certo! I voli scontati hanno spesso il prezzo fisso di 30 euro, a volte non conviene viaggiare in staff travel infatti ma come normale passeggero😬

      @@issafula Being a flight attendant is something I've always wanted to experience, and it was a very formative and funny period of my life, but I think there are aspects of the job that are just not compatible with who I am and with the fulfilling life I dream for myself. The lack of sleep and the healthy issues coming from it are some of the most important, but also having to deal with something like 800 people a day was starting to drain me. Furthermore I just can't picture myself working forever at a job that requires me to paint my nails, wear matching makeup and shave my body hair. I was treating the grooming regulations almost as a joke but they're actually a very important part of the position and I really don't want to spend my whole life worrying about my aesthetic because some old and sexist regulations say so.
      But in the end the thing is I applied for Ryanair after my graduation, when I didn't really know what to do with my life and I had the privilege of having enough freedom to try whatever I wanted, so I told myself "why not"? But I already knew I wanted to finish my studies at some point and get a master's degree, and it's what I'm trying to do now. I have no idea how life will go though, and I don't exclude that I could work in aviation again, it's still a very exciting and interesting environment, but my goals and aspirations are just different right now :)

    One thing i would like to point to is when you said that they ( Moroccans ) look at you as a useless person just because you are a woman .well thats not true .maybe you was working under pressure and you just analyzed they eyes of a wrong person. As a Moroccan who presents Morocco ww believe that everyone a girl or a boy are proficient in something and we appreciate everyone who gives an add for a certain society

    • @eleanorjourney
      @eleanorjourney  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I probably noticed the pattern more on Moroccan flights but it was a general statement valid for almost every flight. Usually if there was a male cabin crew next to me people would ask things to him instead of me and trust him more than me. If I asked a passenger to remove their bags from the emergency exits and they didn't want to do it, 99% when the male collegue asked the exact same thing they would do it. But I was trying to be a nice flight attendant who wants passengers to have the best experience possibile on the flight and asks them gently to do the right things for their safety, so maybe it was just my fault for not having enough bossy attitude and demand for things to be done the same way most of my male collegues did😅
