The Life We Lead

It’s no secret that being a flight attendant comes with short layovers, little sleep, a lot of work, time zone changes, unruly passengers, long days, and scheduling snafus. But, do the positives of the job outweigh the negatives?

That’s the question I posed to the readers of Flightster.

The media has been covering my career steadily for the last few weeks and more and more people are starting to learn about what I do on a daily basis. Light is starting to shed on the fact that we really are on board the aircraft primarily for your safety and everything else comes second.

There still seems to be many folks though who claim “if you’re not happy with your job, then quit.” So, I put it on all the line.

Head over to Flightster and find out what my job is really like. What it means to become a flight attendant and live like one, then, you decide. Leave a comment there and tell me if you think the positives outweigh the negatives and, if you’re not a flight attendant; feel free to post any questions you may have about the career there. I’ll do my best to answer them as quickly as possible!
