Emotional stress: You explained this very well. I'm cabin crew for seven years now and I still cannot always let go of passengers' rude behaviour. They don't take responsibility for their actions and I refuse to get involved in their rude/negative bubble. Anyway, it gets harder to handle when you're tired. Every cabin crew could be the best crew member and the most empathetic person if the companies don't overwork us. But alas... this is what it is.
I've watched the 20+ minute videos. Both are informative. Would love to see if you can sum up years of your life in 20 minutes. If you can't handle 20 minute videos feel free to never watch TV shows ever again.
Apply with an American carrier, FAA mandated work rules They require you to refresh lipstick, report you if you don't, you sign 4 year contracts. Once you reach 28, they may or may not sign another but no old flight attendants allowed.
It can be a very sweet job in the US. Yes, passengers can be jerks but you find that anywhere in customer service. Emirates holds your visa, impossible to leave country without it If you get in legal trouble, you need govt. permission to leave.. In addition to being fired.
I felt that soooo hard when you said, sometimes its not even the passengers, sometimes its your colleagues. I counldnt agree more!! and yess, truly the stress as well.
I liked how you explained everything. You are likeable and has a jolly personality. if i were your colleague, i would love to be always flying with you... All the best in your new endeavor...
I also left my airline due to all those reasons you mentioned and i can relate my self with you. Now I am doing what I love and living a happy life as I wanted to. God bless you sweetheart 😊 lots of love from Pakistan 😊
this is one of the best videos on youtube for a while, simple and to the point, comforting and inspiring. i was also a shift worker for 5 years, and i can relate to the not being happy, healthy, seing sunlight.
Love looove this video. Explained very well, not too long, straight to the point, very entertaining, not too serious, it was just like you were talking to your close friend. Thank you so much for this 😊
Spot on.. ex crew from Qatar for more than 12 years, i super agree with everything you mentioned. People have different reasons and situation why they stayed. Yes, it’s true after a certain number of years, it gets into your nerves and affects not only physically but also emotionally and mentally. It’ll change you big time without noticing it. However, it was fun that i enjoyed it so much and forgot about the passing time and personal priorities such as family and some other concerns. In my opinion, apart from your personal reason why you left flying, getting married and planning a family is a valid reason too to finally say goodbye to this career. I left for that reason and that puts me in a different perspective now with more permanence and stability. Working for a middle east airline is not easy at all, and only us “Middle East crew” would have a common unspoken understanding and feeling. Im glad we survived all these years!❤️
Some people think that being a flight attendant is a glamorous job, but we don't even realize that this job is not easy as we think, no wonders flight attendant are treated like slave😴😔😖
i think it's a good experience to work there for 2 years or more to develop as a human being and get out of the comfort zone and especially to collect some money.
'All the different type of viruses from around the world are gathered in the aircraft'..... Are you describing the passengers by any chance?🤣🤣🤣🤣 I think it's correct though....
I’m glad I didn’t choose Emirates after I attended an interview in Adelaide Australia, especially when they took over 5 months to get back to me, i refused to proceed further, though initially I had regrets then I moved on. Now, After watching your video I’m certain things happen for a reason. Though I reside in dubai for work it’s in hospitality sector.
You’re so cute!!! Thanks for this video, i’m going to an Open Day in 2 weeks and i can’t stop watching these “why i left emirates” videos. I TRULY want to be ready for the good and bad and listen to all of the crew’s opinions.
I can imagine that it is not an easy job being an airline crew member .. its as you say too much flying at low pressure, breathing circulated air, adjusting to different time zones, dealing with irritated passengers and lack of rest ..
I loved this video. You did not bad-mouth Emirates, yet were straight to the point and concise about what didn't work for you. Most international airlines have a rostering system that arbitrarily assigns trips that leave cabin crews little schedule flexibility. They have little control over days off or the routes they fly. In the US, flight attendants have a bidding system whereby monthly lines of flying are awarded by seniority. If one isn't senior enough to hold a certain schedule (line), there is unlimited opportunity to drop or trade trips with other F/A's or with un-crewed trips (known as open flying). This schedule flexibility allows flight attendants to have a life outside of their flying career, whether raising children, going back to school, or embarking on a dual career. With the ME carriers, cabin crews can be flying in any direction around the globe within their flying month, which wreaks havoc on one's circadian rhythms. I've been a US-based F/A's for 33 years. My schedule flexibility allowed me to put myself through college and today allows me to establish a routine where I fly the same days or trip every week. As such, I am able to maintain a healthy work-life balance. Cabin crews in the Middle East aren't afforded that privilege (trip trading flexibility). I also appreciate that you named it: Emotional Stress. As an international purser, more often than not, my emotional bandwidth gets taxed by other crew members who feel entitled and less so by the passengers.
I guess most people become a cabin crew just for the glamour..They actually never got interested in aviation before, they just saw it as a means to make a buck and have a nice lifestyle... Hence why so many people leave after 2 or 3 years. Working in aviation is not for everybody..
It's is a glamorous job but it is no different from being a domestic helper more so if you deal with rude and obnoxious passengers. Good for you leaving the company. All the best in the future. One door closes another door opens.
I have joined cabin crew job, because i love planes and sky. I wanted to be a pilot actually, but didnt have enough money to pay for the courses .However with this type of jobe you are not able to live your life as yours . You have to in standby mode. Which is not so easy. Finally i left , but whenever I board the plane I am moving towards the jump seat:-)
@@LL-dl9vx , that's great! At least you got a taste of it. Well, could you please help me how to apply for it ? I hope to get a reply from you. I want to ask something else too which I'll if you replied.
Hey Jaie! I’m an aspiring EK cabin crew. I’m currently 16 and 1/2. I feel that the aspect of having your entire life be surrounded by cabin crew can be slightly “controversial” (due to lack of a better term). I feel that some people might actually like that lifestyle. But then again, it depends. Great to hear about your experience!
I resigned two years back for the same reasons you have mentioned in the video. I moved out for a bit before I resign - it was better than staying in the accomodation but not good enough to keep me in Dubai. But there are times that I really miss it - the multinational crew, good teams and destinations. I never regret leaving Emirates, but I never regret joining it too. love from HKG.
what you said were all true, objective and reasonable. good luck on the next chapter! i am a crew myself and looking forward again ( coz i rested for a year ) for what is next after flying for 12yrs. cheers!
Nice video. I am an ex-crew myself. Resigned after my first contract a few moths ago. I can only agree with your reasons. This job is a good experience but the lifestyle itself is sometimes exhausting in so many ways. Plus constantly being surrounded by Emirates even on your days off. Just it is sometimes so damn hard to get used to normal life again^^
I can relate to many of your points. That said, I think it's a great job for someone fresh out of varsity, looking to see the world and save some money. I certainly wouldn't trade my experience. It's been amazing. All the best with your journey going forward.
Being a cabin crew is really a lifestyle choice but you do sacrifice so much of your personal life for the company. Jet lag, poor sleep habits, constant schedule change will be a constant struggle. Thanks for sharing:)
I work for westjet in Canada if there is a rude customer. Depending on the level of the rudeness, first we will hang out a caption notice to warn the passenger and second if they keep the same attitude, I have the right to deplane them or call the police. I guess it’s very different working in Dubai. I won’t allow if someone is rude and being racist to me !
I completely understand about the fatigue....not sleeping on regular hrs. I my self was a cabin crew for a major airline for about 7 yrs .I totally know what it means to be exhausted mentally and physically. Those red eye flights ,those 13,14 hr flights with 300+ passengers...... after a few yrs u just cant take it any more .
Jaie has a video on racist comments, and your response should be placed at the top of her or anyone's racist comments list. But, it could be simply that you're ignorant that there are Korean Americans or those who live in the U.S. or other English speaking countries for many years that identify themselves with their mother or father's native country and not with the U.S. This is the same with immigrants all over the world who were born in the U.S. or became nationalized U.S. citizens but prefer to identify themselves with their parents' countries. Educate yourself before you make such a racist post!!
Port Henderson i think it’s out of her/his ⬆️ ignorance rather than racism. It’s easy to tell that the lady in the video grew up or lived in the US/Canada but she couldnt tell.
watching "quit" videos just makes me have more compassion towards flight attendants not that i was rude to them to begin with, just that now i have some idea what they're going thru
It is clear that emirates demands too much and controls people life.But are the local companies who needs flight attandents.I heard from girls who are working in their own countries,that are only going few times per month.
I hope you have found the job you were looking for and are happy in that job. From me having flown as a passenger all flying attendants work very hard and do a great job so from me it's a 👍👍👍👍👍to you guys.
Thank you for making this video.🙏🏻 i am working for another airline company and i can relate to every.single.thing you said. Maybe mine a little worse. I just cant quit though as of the moment cos i dont know have a plan B. But its good to know that there are other ex-crew who feels the same way. I used to think there might be wrong with me.
in the beggining I was thinking like"hey she looks like korean but speak very good english even better than me " so then you said you used to teach english in Korea :D
It's funny but I can relate even tho I am not cabin crew; fact is lots of expats, particularly single women, leave UAE cos they feel burdened to be a 'mom-like', when all they want to be is a professional. And yes, it can get physically and emotionally draining trying to get others to see as professional and not merely a representative of your gender and class to give you some room to personalise, and so sometimes the best thing to do is leave. I did.
Sometimes it takes you so long to realise that a particular thing is not for u and that's something good to happen in our life everything happens for a reason .
Thank you.. God bless u! I loved the video more..than the others.. Y?.maybe bcoz u went straight to the point and ur beautiful... I don't know... I just loved it more...looking forward ur new videos!😍😘
Nice video.. I truly understand your last point... Actually, I've realised the same after a year of flying... I'm still in aviation with another company as a structural engineer.... Happy to be out of the golden cage.....
Great video! I did my FI on May 9th and still waiting to hear back from them. I love getting to hear everyone's different perspectives. It helps me to understand what I may *potentially* be getting into :) How long did you work for Emirates?
Jaie.S It seems like you missed the hours, minutes and seconds. Don't take me wrong, after listening to your discription about what your work life was all about. I think that I would have been counting down until I "escaped " from such a demanding routine. I hope that you are now content with your life. Regards from the UK.
I am, Thanks! :) Don't get me wrong, I loved my experience and the time there... but it wasn't for me. I recommend the job to other people to try because it was such an eye opening experience. I changed my world view! but... yeah it just was that. An amazing learning experience. If anything I respect the people who have been a cabin crew longer than me even more.. since it was something that i just couldn't take :)
Happy for u, am a FA since 22years, ever since i joined the airline i didn't like the job but i was not brave enough to leave, Now i just got used to it, many passengers + colleauges are very rude and unpolite yes very true what made me feel so bad longtime ago but guess what? now i have no more feelings about these silly people, i just continue my service as if they're not exist and when i reach home or the hotel i enjoy my live as if i didn't hear anything or nothing had happened All the best for u darling in your new life journey
A friend of mine working with Emirates, just recently I met her, n talked much. She told her experience that she once got sick,not because of tiredness bit because of "woman monthly period time" that caused by the air pressure up in the sky most of the time. Thats it.
On Air Canada, a lot of their cabin crew have worked there for 30+ years (especially those on international routes). You see a lot of "flying seniors". Wonder how they cope for so many years. But then they are all unionized.
I have seen alot of crew who couldn't handle the role they left and create these kinds of videos. I am too X-Staff, I believe the cabin crew job is not for everyone! It is supposed to be taken by tough players. It is not for the candidates who join airlines for travel opportunities. Please dont harm such a brand which creates huge value to global business with your small thoughts. Good luck with your future clips and I really believe you will consider my pov.
sounds to me like the glamour and adventure of cabin crew life is really just a wonderful illusion!! that lifestyle is definitely not sustainable.....those arab countries have wayyyy tooo many human rights violations and this airline is no exception! tfs xo all the best with your life xo
well, honey bunny, what would you prefer i, in my absolute ignorance, call them? please impart your all mighty infinite wisdom slash knowledge.....or are you just having a crappy day and feel like instigating anonymously as most folk in the yt comment section seem to love.....humanity!!!
Hi sis , i like your video but i want to say something i dont think is there anything without problems or strees or etc...(that is the life) so the main thing is no matter what we do if we can enjoy the moment and live happy ☺️ hehe.... lots of love from 🇱🇰 🙏
I love your video. Actually, I've heard a lot about the pressure of being a Cabin crew but still I want to become a Cabin Crew but the thing is that my height is only 1m50. I would love to join Emirates and Qatar Airways but there is just only a little hope for me or even no hope at all if honestly.
Hi! Loved your video!!! I have a question tho, since you left Emirates after 2 years and you did not complete the 3 year conctract, did you have to pay a penalty?
It’s amazing how a big company really doesn’t care or do they really care what their employees goes through in every days work they do😳anyway put it this way,everything we do i life it’s can tough n some are not👌so everyone have a different level how to overcome the difficulties thing in general 🙏so we do all have a choice where n when n what we want to do in the future🙏most important is to find n to be some place that once can find suitable place or jobs that might some peace I hope but in the long run it’s will bring some satisfaction in every purpose for what we do👌btw I have been in yrs shoe b4✈️so been there done that👌I wish to all future cabin crew to b✈️do take every single challengers as a part of life as long u don’t do wrong bad thing 👌anyway listening to some motivation video s online could help to find the right path n take every steps one time at a times 🙏🙏🙏trust me maybe one day it’s will b ok🙏🙏🙏I hope this might help👌🙏👌best of luck to u in the future 🙏

i can't tell if you mean this in a good way or bad way but I'm pretty sure if you were to be cabin crew with emirates you would understand them lol

Well done! I left Emirates in 2012... it was not the kind of life I wanted (and I hoped). We are not all alike.

Be proud of your choice gal ;-)
Interesting. Wish you all the best in whatever you do next.

It is clear that emirates demands too much and controls people life.But are the local companies who needs flight attandents.I heard from girls who are working in their own countries,that are only going few times per month.

Hi! sorry for the late reply :) I stayed in Emirates for exactly 2 years and 3 days
Jaie.S It seems like you missed the hours, minutes and seconds. Don't take me wrong, after listening to your discription about what your work life was all about. I think that I would have been counting down until I "escaped " from such a demanding routine. I hope that you are now content with your life. Regards from the UK.
I am, Thanks! :) Don't get me wrong, I loved my experience and the time there... but it wasn't for me. I recommend the job to other people to try because it was such an eye opening experience. I changed my world view! but... yeah it just was that. An amazing learning experience. If anything I respect the people who have been a cabin crew longer than me even more.. since it was something that i just couldn't take :)
Hey Katerina Pasat,did you join EK
Hi Katerina can we be friends? Lived in UAE.
Well said!! Truth 100% !! Thank you!
Happy for u, am a FA since 22years, ever since i joined the airline i didn't like the job but i was not brave enough to leave,
Now i just got used to it, many passengers + colleauges are very rude and unpolite yes very true what made me feel so bad longtime ago but guess what? now i have no more feelings about these silly people, i just continue my service as if they're not exist and when i reach home or the hotel i enjoy my live as if i didn't hear anything or nothing had happened
All the best for u darling in your new life journey
You speak English well....what subject did you take? Wish you all the best to pursue your next career❤
Your video is short and to the point .👌👌👌dabong
Such a great video great info
A friend of mine working with Emirates, just recently I met her, n talked much. She told her experience that she once got sick,not because of tiredness bit because of "woman monthly period time" that caused by the air pressure up in the sky most of the time. Thats it.
Very detailed and interesting
Great video. Good content 👌
I hope you have a good career ! I’m the next one to leave this company;) And I’m so happy for myself to make this decision!
On Air Canada, a lot of their cabin crew have worked there for 30+ years (especially those on international routes). You see a lot of "flying seniors". Wonder how they cope for so many years. But then they are all unionized.
Respect. :)
I have seen alot of crew who couldn't handle the role they left and create these kinds of videos. I am too X-Staff, I believe the cabin crew job is not for everyone! It is supposed to be taken by tough players. It is not for the candidates who join airlines for travel opportunities. Please dont harm such a brand which creates huge value to global business with your small thoughts.
Good luck with your future clips and I really believe you will consider my pov.
sounds to me like the glamour and adventure of cabin crew life is really just a wonderful illusion!! that lifestyle is definitely not sustainable.....those arab countries have wayyyy tooo many human rights violations and this airline is no exception! tfs xo all the best with your life xo
"Those arab countries" - lol get your ass out of here, Donna
well, honey bunny, what would you prefer i, in my absolute ignorance, call them? please impart your all mighty infinite wisdom slash knowledge.....or are you just having a crappy day and feel like instigating anonymously as most folk in the yt comment section seem to love.....humanity!!!
Do/did you work for Emirates? Do/did you live in the UAE?
Well at least to did admit to being ignorant.
@@dawna4185 id like you to even try naming all those arabic countries you speak of
I hear from a lot of cabin crew that their job is tough. I hope that you now have slower and happier life:)
Hi sis , i like your video but i want to say something i dont think is there anything without problems or strees or etc...(that is the life) so the main thing is no matter what we do if we can enjoy the moment and live happy ☺️ hehe.... lots of love from 🇱🇰 🙏
You are so beautiful and soft spoken:)
It's very sad that people get to be rude to service people but that is the reality of any service work
Nice what you v mentioned. So what do you think about flydubai?
You are not there anymore😔 but wishing you all the best🤗🤗😇
Love this video,thank you,i will go on thursday in an open day of Emirates😨
I love it .. such a nice girl .. good luck with your coming future ...
I love your video. Actually, I've heard a lot about the pressure of being a Cabin crew but still I want to become a Cabin Crew but the thing is that my height is only 1m50. I would love to join Emirates and Qatar Airways but there is just only a little hope for me or even no hope at all if honestly.
Thanks for sharing !
I feel you😢
thx for sharing :) totally can relate
Good decision, you win some, lose some, life continues..
Hi! Loved your video!!! I have a question tho, since you left Emirates after 2 years and you did not complete the 3 year conctract, did you have to pay a penalty?
It’s amazing how a big company really doesn’t care or do they really care what their employees goes through in every days work they do😳anyway put it this way,everything we do i life it’s can tough n some are not👌so everyone have a different level how to overcome the difficulties thing in general 🙏so we do all have a choice where n when n what we want to do in the future🙏most important is to find n to be some place that once can find suitable place or jobs that might some peace I hope but in the long run it’s will bring some satisfaction in every purpose for what we do👌btw I have been in yrs shoe b4✈️so been there done that👌I wish to all future cabin crew to b✈️do take every single challengers as a part of life as long u don’t do wrong bad thing 👌anyway listening to some motivation video s online could help to find the right path n take every steps one time at a times 🙏🙏🙏trust me maybe one day it’s will b ok🙏🙏🙏I hope this might help👌🙏👌best of luck to u in the future 🙏
Hats off to you 2 years omg
