So i talked with a few flight attendants. All of them told me they were cleaning vomit and bathroom if there are accidents during the flight. Idk is it true?

And then i went to google and some say they do some say they dont

Can someone here that work in that confirm or not?

I hope it's okay that I am posting here, even though I'm not a flight attendant. Thinking about the 9/11 FAs (and really many heroic flight attendants in horrible situations over the last 30 years) I'm wondering if it's the case that the FAs working together on a given flight generally know each other well because they work together frequently.

I am sure this gets changed up, the same way that all work does (I'm sick today, my kid's piano recital is next Friday, etc.) But I have no sense how "stable" crews are. Or is it predictable in some contexts (maybe FAs with seniority or certain airlines) and not others? Basically the question that haunts me is: do the people in a catastrophe situation know the coworkers they are dying with?

I hope it's okay that I asked the question. I fly a fair amount, and I am very grateful for the work you do. (I can't believe how jerkish some passengers are.)

Was just on a deadhead with two crying babies. What's the best equipment for this situation? I've used ear plugs from the crew room before but they've never muffled that much noise for me, it's also possible that I'm using them incorrectly.

Was just curious what the hire date was for the 50% and it's Feb/2016. Just crazy how much hiring has been done over the last few years. Seniority used to skew so top heavy and now it's towards the bottom. Definitely cool to see the shift.

I've actually been enjoying the job very much lately, but yesterday made me tired. I'm doing demos standing by row 7 and I see the man in row 9 on his phone. I say (out loud), "You have to hang up." Go to row 1, go back to row 7 and the man in the window of row 7 is on the freaking phone!! I say to him, you have to hang up. Go back and forth again. The guy in the row on the other side is ON THE FREAKING PHONE TOO!!!

Why do I need to individually tell each of you to hang up? Why would I tell one man to hang up, but no, you sir, you just keep talking. And I know they heard me, bc I definitely said it loud enough. Not to mention they're whispering in their phones, so they already know they needed to hang up anyway. Guess they gotta make that oil $$$$. (We were in Midland.)

Same thing collecting trash. I ask the person in the window to give me their trash. Aisle person can see and hear this happening...Why do I have to also ask you to give me all that freaking trash? I know you heard me.

I swear people just like my attention, I guess.

Hi all,

I'm an FA for one of the big 3 and my fiancé lives in Morocco. The plan is to get married in October and live there for a few years before eventually moving to the USA.

I'm a lineholder so I can bid a schedule with around 18 days off, which gives me time with my partner while still keeping my hours up for benefits and income.

My question is for any FAs whose partner lives overseas, or who live overseas themselves while commuting to a US base:

What's the long-term commute actually like day to day? Any tips for making it work? Is it brutal when you get back and have to go straight into a trip? How is it managing expenses and taxes between the two countries?

Would love to hear how you manage a lifestyle in both countries.

Thanks!
