Girl all of this is sooooo true they don’t tell you nothing in training. I’m waiting for a line at my base cause my home base is so senior I will be on reserve forever! I’m waiting it out! This job definitely is a lifestyle and not as glamorous as people think!
Yeah most people prefer getting a line over being on reserve in there home base! It is easier. And definitely not 😫 takes time
@@christinac25 I’m waiting it out!
The pay is a real struggle. After I saw my last pay check I was like 👀👀👀. Also I need to prep food wayyy more cuz I’m spending way to much for food on the road. Im an F/A for NK as well. Food is costing me the most. Just reached my six months hoping this pay raise will help
DFW NK 🐝 here and Meal prepping is the truth just got off a 4 day trip and I prepped for the full 4 days all 3 meals
@@Christain214 nice to meet you! I’m based in ATL. They stay sending me on 4 days all the time. I tried to prep for the last one but it was a fail I still ended up wasting food smh. I need to get like you lol!
I’m strongly considering transferring to ATL by the end of the year. I’ve watched a lot of meal prep videos.. and ultimately I just have to be disciplined I’m going on another 4 day this upcoming week. When I get home from RDY I’ll be in the kitchen meal prepping
@@Christain214 yes weve gotten a lot of transfers from other bases this month. I commend you on your prepping. Ima get my life together soon lol!
😭😭😭it gets better I promise! And yes, meal prepping is going to save you tons trust me. Get you some good lil containers and hook some up, don’t have to be nothing gourmet lol 🍴
You are precious! This was the most informative video I’ve watched and you have such wisdom and poise in the advice that you offer. I head to training in about 60 days. Thank you for giving me some gems 💎 of info. ❤
Thank youuu, and I hope training goes amazing for you! 🥰❤️
I’m also an FA for a Canadian Airline and what you said is ON POINT. The pay sucks BIG TIME !!! Definitely have SAVINGS at least 6 months from training to the first 6 months after you start work.
I’ve been working for almost 2 years and the money still sucks til now unless you pick up extra shifts or take a buy out.
Something else I’d recommend is getting a 2nd job if your schedule permits!! 💗
Omg the random bruises is sooo true and you’re one of the first people I have watched to bring that up. Haha
It was so weird, I googled it to see if other FA’s had the same issue and I found some! Lol
Thanks so much for the video! I start training with your airline this month!! I’ve been doing research for years but you and one other person are the only two current FAs for this airline that I see on YT. I know every airline is different so I want to know what I can specifically expect. Your videos are super super helpful! Thanks for your transparency, even your videos outside of being a FA feed my spirit 💛
Question do you get to pay and stay at a crash pad for the entire month?
@@ItsTinaTimeXOXO depends on the crashpad some only want you there so many days out of the month others you can be there all month
Ayeeeee congratulations love, see you in the skies soon!! 🥰✈️
I love ur content this is very helpful I’m 17 and been wanting to become flight attend since I was 13 watching every single video before coming im very serious about this job lol
Your time is coming love!! I wish I would’ve started super young like you 🥹💗💗
Ahaha im 13 and im doing that rn lol
Loved all of this. Thank you.
So welcome!
I have been watching your videos everyday I start training in a month . Currently studying
Study hard, and see you in the skies love!! 🥳✈️
Thank you for this video I’m definitely thinking about becoming a flight ✈️ attendant
Waiting for you! 🥰✈️
Thank you so much Christina!
💗💗
Your tips are always on point! By the way, have you come across the new V4 of the Bento Bag from Nomad Lane? As someone who loves efficient and stylish travel gear, it might be something you'd find interesting for your future adventures.
Can you pleaseeee make a budgeting video for flight attendants? 😮💨🤌🏽
I’d love to!
New to your channel, thank you for this video can’t wait to catch your videos
Welcome!!🥰
Christina, You’re amazing! Great content again as always. I was looking forward to flying with you again at IAH before I left NK, but well wishes, keep growing stronger 👏! ~ BEN ✈️!
Ahhh Ben I didn’t know you left!! I hope everything is going well for you. Maybe we’ll cross paths again in the airport lol, peace and blessings 😊✈️
Preach, everything you said was fact. Unfortunately for me my airline doesn’t have any layover 😭😭. Definitely research your airline
Love this video
This video was so informative great detail #realtalk
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you!!
Np!
That was awesome video
Thank you
Thanks
This video was one of the most informative I've seen, I didn't know about the luggage situation. Is there a website you can recommend for the crash pads that offers transportation/kitchen?
For crashpad recommendations I always recommend joining Facebook groups, and also typing in “(city) crashpads” in google. That’s how I researched and found mine for Dallas and Chicago! 💗
I love how real and spot on your video is. All facts. People have to do their research because when your a new hire the company gone use you for real lol.
Use and abuse! Lol thank you ❤️
@@christinac25 for sure lol
I’m still young but I have a dream of becoming a flight attendant. Can you explain what are the stages after GCSEs. eg. GCSEs college then ykyk
This was great advice for people wanting to become a flight attendant, even after all of the points you made, I personally think I would be able to handle it and it would be worth it. I heard your partner/spouse can get free tickets or discounted tickets as well? That would be cool, especially for when we have a family, flying would be a lot easier and cheaper. Thank you for this video!! 💕
Yaayyy I love to hear that! Lol it didn’t stop me either it was totally worth it 🤣 and yes your spouse/children fly for free on standby as well as a few others and buddy passes! Amazing benefits. No prob 😊💕
This help a lot 😢
iam emirates flight attendant so don't struggle with transportation and accommodation they r provided to us thank god
Nice content.
Thank you!
Can you explain crash pad? Does the airline pay your hotel? Or do you get a discount when you stay elsewhere? Or is coming back home on a flight a possibility?
Crash pad is where you’ll stay if you have to commute in and out of base in between your assigned trips. The airline pays for hotels DURING your assigned trips only, NOT for commuting. (However some do, ex. You may get 8 free nights a month.) lots of hotels near airports do have commuter prices. Yes coming straight home is a possibility though, all just depends on your flight times. Sleeping in the crew room is also an option! 💗
What do you mean by getting a line?
Does the same apply for those working the desk before boarding ? Do they have to travel to different airports or is it stationary job
The gate agents? Their job is stationary at 1 airport, but they still get travel benefits 💗
Fantastic video! Wondering if you work for my black and yellow airline.
Yeaaa🥳 where are you based? Hopefully I’ll see you in the skies soon!! 🐝💛
This is so helpful because my training starts next month and I need to prepare my self for commuting and food preppin im just torn between FLL and IAH. Does our airline 😊 pay for nights at a hotel?
Congrats love, and whichever works best for you commuting wise! No :/
@@christinac25 thank you ❤️
@@shonteljoyner2678our airline allows 2 commuter rooms a month for pilots only, but they got it through the pilot union.
I wanted to be an FA but I'm scared of flying ever since I had my son. Being here for him is my number 1 priority and idk I'm just too scared 😂
That’s def understandable!! A lot of people wait until their children are a little older lol, but all up to your personal comfort 💗
Question how do you “get a line” what does that mean?
It means you are now in control of your schedule, you know what trips you are working for the entire month. On reserve means basically you’re just on call
You look like Kehlani omg 😍 you also sound like Cardi B 😅❤
Can you choose your base / state you would like to stay?
Sometimes yes, sometimes your desired base may not be opened at the time of hiring so you’d have to wait until it opens back up 💗
Then Why many People say "fligt attendant salaries are really high"? İs it change country to country?
Who said that? 🤣😂 well they are after a couple years and seniority has been built. They very well may be paid more in other countries outside of the U.S. though!
How do you meal prep when out of your home ?
Like in a crashpad?
Is it true that if you become a flight attendant your family can travel for free
I know for sure that SouthWest airlines allow your spouse, kids, and your parents to travel free. If you work there then you can get unlimited travel as long as there is room on the plane
Are you a Jamaican?. Which airlines hire straight Jamaicans??
Do they at least get paid every week?
15th and 30th
What airlines are hiring now
I am not sure actually, I’d look them up and check websites! 💕
Do you get days off during reserve or know what days you’ll have off ?!
Yes you get days off, schedules are month to month 💕
I’m going become flight attendant 🛩️
Let’s goooo 🥳
Is it hard to get a flight attendant job if you have tattoos?
As long as you’re able to fully cover them while in uniform, you should be good
Wassup mami? I’m an American living in Toronto. Have you ever been out here?
New subscriber hi I wanted to know how to apply for flight attendant job I’m in my 50s but still healthy 😊😊✝️✝️🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️
Hi!! You apply online 🥰 check for opening windows because they usually aren’t hiring for FA’s year round. Hope to see you in the skies soon Jackie 💗✈️
Not me watching and am away from my family 1yr and 3months now
It be toughhh sometimes 🥹
I'm new
Can you go over pay?
I will definitely work on covering that more in depth!
Why does it take so long to get a line?
Because there are only a certain amount of lines allotted to each base, and they are awarded by seniority
Flight Attendants rock
❤️
I use to work for a regional in IT. I was lucky and got to see what training was about
Become a mortgage underwriting processor with just a high school education!
Are you able to be a flight attendant with a small dog❓❓
You’d have to have someone to leave them with on the days you’re working or pay for doggy daycare 😁
I am going to start cleaning business than
That’d be great!!
How long do you wait to get your line?
It varies!!
How much do they pay?
First year is like $23-25….we just got a new contract w pay raise and I only got the old one lol
Why you speak so guetto?
Idk 😂 sorry!
@@christinac25girl don’t listen to him you speak great and your video is amazing thank you! 🎉
lol how are going to ask why she speak ghetto, but can’t spell it?
Why do you misspell your words and have bad syntax? Why are you so racist and nasty?
Not a person who can't spell the word correctly trying to throw shade 😂
I love your content, keep it up mama
