    👋👋👋 Hi I am also a Flight Attendant and lemme tell you I totally feel I had to work for Christmas, and I was also left once at the door when flying standby. Just want to thank you for sharing this video I felt I was watching a movie, I was like what's next now, all those obstacles you had to through. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and being optimistic. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

    In 2021 I missed my morning flight. Came back that night and missed my last flight. I spent the night at Midway airport in Chicago, my hometown. I learned to get the the airport two hours early! Lesson Learned!

    Your positive attitude throughout this whole video is a lesson for new FA’s! You handled all of the cancellations and delays in commuting home with such grace! I recently discovered your challenge and have really enjoyed your videos and advice. Glad you made it home in time to enjoy Christmas with your family! Happy New Years!

    Great advice.
    One good thing about my airline is we don't commute for work, so we don't need a crashpad.
    We live at base. We live at home, so on reserve at home.

I had my first trip fall apart, a 3 day turned into a 2 day where I deadhead to one airport, layer over, and then Deadhead back to base. I love to see it lol. But I look forward to all your future videos and honestly hope I get to work with you one day!!

    I actually like your longer videos as you tend to share some true pieces of Joy and wisdom. Yes, stayed to the end. I just can't believe all that you went through. But still you held the positive vibe - yes of course, cry, scream, be mad when you need to - but you bounce back. Your video has helped me beyond words. And I mean this with all sincerity. Glad you made it home for Christmas. May you have the most Joyful of New Years. Thank you so much for all of this.😇❤

    I don’t think I have ever.... heard of closing the door with empty seats while cons were sitting at the gate, ready and waiting. I have seen revenue passengers come too late to the gate after the door has been closed but that is only after they have been paged and paged and paged and never showed up in time.
    I have even travelled home after Christmas one year where I was put in the jump seat in the flight deck along with my cat in her kennel that they managed to tuck in behind the captain’s seat.

    Hi Alexis, I love your attitude you are so cute! I am watching this contemplating a career in flying after retiring from preschool teacher. Is this something you would advise for someone my age 58?

    • @AlexisBlack
      @AlexisBlack  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi 👋🏾 if this is something you want to do then you should go for it! You’ll probably be taking a big pay cut since new FAs don’t make much money for about 5yrs. And you might have to relocate which can be challenging. So that’s those are biggest thing I’d consider.

      @@AlexisBlack thank you! Yes I know the pay cut situation. I saw on indeed that listed under Washington DC it said Delta needed flight attendants. Does that mean that would be the base? Thank you for all your advice!

      You never really know where they’ll send you until they tell you. Usually you find out when you’re already weeks into training. You can ask the recruiter during the interview where the company is sending new hires but that’s not a guarantee. You should be prepared to move wherever they send you. Trying to commute while on probation isn’t a good idea. It puts you at risk for losing your wings you just sacrificed and worked hard for.

    Can you live in a crash pad full time?

    • @AlexisBlack
      @AlexisBlack  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      In reserve friendly crash pads you can. Most first yr flight attendants use it as a stepping stone until they can find something else. A crash pad isn’t somewhere you want to live full time for a long time. They’re often cramped and you don’t have much privacy or freedom as you would if you had your own place or even shared a place with a roommate.
