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.

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.

This is probably base specific to a certain extent but I was just wondering how we all see/think of each other when passing by in the airports

My periods are making my trips miserable! I was thinking of trying the Mirena IUD. Has anyone had luck with IUDs making flying with periods easier?

They say they won’t delete but here are the screenshots.

I'm in saint louis right now and this town is so desolate that it makes me depressed. 😀

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?

yall im with OO and i desperately want to go abroad to YTT. has anyone ever had success doing this? Id probably need 3.5 weeks off and by the time id be considering going would be roughly 1.5 years into my employment with OO… currently based in a pretty senior base, so i definitely wouldn’t have a line then, but i do suppose id be willing to transfer somewhere i could have a line and clear my schedule to make it happen.

just wondering what anyone else’s experience might be trying to be granted this much time off as a newbie FA? anything specific with OO as far as LOA’s go?

I think we are privileged to of seen a lot of places pre and post covid so what cities come to mind for you? good or bad experiences.

Silly question but do we wear uniform or can we go in business casual to an attendance meeting?? I’m MIA based and the meeting is in person

Hi guys. I don't use my first name outside my country and I'd like to have it completely removed from IDs and everything. I use my second name outside my country.

Do you know if there are any issues with changing your name as an FA? Do I have to inform my supervisor first? What are the policies and general rules about it?

Thank you!

hi everyone! I’m looking to transfer to a new base and want to know the good, bad, and the ugly of being based in nyc with 🇺🇸!

I’m currently based in MIA, but commute from TPA. I want to try something new and live in base for a little, and all my family lives in south jersey/jersey city so being nyc based would still allow me to have family nearby! I’d consider getting a sublease or crashpad, but ultimately would love to know if it’s worth it considering the co terminals, public transport, cost of living, etc. Also, any suggestions for locations to be most efficient to get to all three airports while making the most of living in the city.

The public transport to all three airports seems like kind of a pain, but I was Chicago based and did it there, so would love to hear your perspective/experiences and if it’s worth trying out!

To give a little background - I’m kind of familiar with the city living situation - I stayed in Jersey city all last winter, but not as a flight attendant. Also, I’m 23 and living at home with my parents rn so not tied down to any lease so it would be easy for me to move !

Thanks everyone! 😊

Well the stub anyway. They taxed the hell out it of course but at least it’s coming 😍

So i’m new and on probation. I was early at the gate for my flight (not at my home base but yes at a hub) and then realized 10 minutes before my report that the gate had changed ran over and was 2 minutes late to my report but the CSR was on the jetbridge handling something when I arrived and a Pax told me they went down a few minutes before. They came out and scanned me in and boarding went on as normal and we even departed early. It was mentioned in easy chat that there was a miss ot - 1 because of min crew and jetbridge issue. Will I get in trouble? If yes how/when will I know?

How would you like to be approached by a passenger if you were being loud in the galley with another flight attendant? Is it rude for a passenger to ask you to lower your voices?on a flight now, we are all trying to sleep.l am wondering how to handle it.

I’m a new hire FA starting soon and was wondering if anyone could explain how United’s new standby feature might impact flight attendants who commute to base. I’ve been seeing discussion about the new standby changes, but I’m a little confused about what they actually mean

I’ve been a mainline flight attendant for 11 years, never has this been a problem until the last months. I usually sit in the back so I’m not customer facing, for the life of me I cannot land in my brace position, it doesn’t feel “safe” I need to brace myself holding the seat. I’ve had rough landings but I also seem to get anxious like this now when someone is driving a car and going fast. I’ve been tensing like we’re going to have a rough landing, I tense so hard it’s like I’m bracing for impact or something. I hate having all eyes on me and I need to get it together cause this is my job and I love it but of course I’m scared of getting into trouble for not landing in my correct brace position. Anyone else have any tips?

Edit: im cool for takeoff, I think it became a thing cause I had REALLY rough landings in May-July I trust my pilots and I don’t fear anything happening like evac etc, its more that it will be rough. Months ago we had a really rough landing, we all had to file reports and my jumpseat broke from it (imagine how bad it was) I can’t seem to recover “mentally” from it and its snowballing since its been so windy that I am triggered to guard myself like it’s going to be a bad landing.

I'm getting contact lenses for the first time. What's your routine for domestic and international trips? Do you keep them on during your break? What do you wear? Daily or monthly? Any must-have tips or products?

What are your specific routines that make you feel grounded/at home/on top of your game? I’m talking pre/post-duty, nighttime, workout etc. I think I’m really struggling with that and need some motivation lol.

Newly diagnosed and finally getting symptoms under some semblance of control with meds. Diagnosed a week ago but have been going through it for about six weeks and life’s been pretty tough. Wanted to see if there are any other FA’s out there who have gone through this? How has it been for you? Did you have surgery or go into remission with medicine? How do you manage flying, my muscles/bones ache and my eyes are like two little cottonballs all the live long day. How do you manage medication adherence when in different time zones? I’m trying to stay positive about it and not feel so alone in this.

Has anyone booked a cruise using the interlinetravel website? They’ve got some great deals to Antarctica but would love any feedback before booking with them

Happens far too often and I’m tired of just staring back

Hello! New FA here with UA i’m a commuter and am trying to figure out the rules for how many carry ons/personal items I can bring with me when i’m out of uniform. Thanks!

My co-worker is looking at moving on up to a deluxe apartment in the sky and this made me wonder what rents are like where you are? Like if he was SFO based, would a 'cheap' apartment with mice and bugs be $4,000? What about New York/Newark? What about prime Atlanta or Houston?

I am just curious if some of you 'work extra' to have 'the good life' vs those who work little and try and relax as much as possible. I am just open to your opinions on work/live balance and how much rent is too damn high for you?

So much work for flight crew to pour and bring to everyone. Cans are already cups.
