You have shared some heartwarming moments. Expect more. One of mine. On a layover in Cleveland, went to matinee move with one other F/A. Only 10 people in there. Five elderly women. One had a heart attack. We began CPR. She was taken to hospital. About six weeks later I received a card from her via my supervisor. I wrote to her to tell her I was glad she was well and the day this had occured was my birthday. Every year for nine years I received a birthday card from her. One day, not around my birthday I received a note from one of her daughters letting me know her mother had passed. She thanked me for being part of giving her and her family nine more years with their mother. Be ready, you will do more simple things that mean alot to the person you are speaking with. It is a nice feeling and you should take it all in. Be well my friend.
I remember you telling me about the missing son. I read someone said you need to separate yourself so you don’t absorb the misery but I honestly think I love that you don’t. It makes you the compassionate, understanding, accepting and the beautiful person you are. No, you can’t let yourself become overwhelmed but how can you relate to people if you don’t just feel empathy-it makes you human & I love how you feel the good & the bad. You & your sister are such beautiful, empathetic &loving people & we’re so proud your our girls❤️
Thank you Mama! You raised Alicia and I to be the people we are, we model after you. Thank you for setting the example to be kind, compassionate & sympathetic to others. I love you!❤️
I loved these stories Julia!!! One story I would like to share, is that I was at target with my twin toddlers and they were just not having it. I was “that mom”, walking through the aisles trying to get groceries with screaming kids. After I’ve already checked out, I was putting my stuff away in the car and a woman came up. She said she noticed me in the store and wanted to tell me that I’m doing a wonderful job and asked if she can put my cart away for me 😭😭😭😭 I broke down, thanked her and we hugged. I think it’s so important to be kind. If you wanna compliment someone just for fun- DO IT, they probably need to hear it. ♥️
The few minutes you took to speak with the passenger about her sister will be something she remembers forever. And that’s what true kindness is about. Stay safe and sweet my friend! 🥰
Julia, I know this is an older video, but I just wanted to comment on your compassion and sensitivity…I’m sure you’ve helped a lot of people. You’re inspiring!
I had a rough 2 weeks at work and felt a little down. Then I saw this video and felt uplifted and more grateful, and positive for the future. You're not just telling stories, you can possibly have a positive impact on others' stories. 💋
Julia, what a wonderful and kind person you are to spend time reaching out to others who are in need. Not everyone would do that. You are such a beautiful special soul! Everything you do resonates with kindness to others. I appreciate all that you do to spread love to those in need.
Julia, your compassion and caring for others honestly reminds me of a nurse. I am one, but hearing you talk about others and experiences makes me think you would be an awesome nurse.
I’m tearing up and I’m only 3 minutes in. Thank god I haven’t lost my sister yet and I hope not for many decades, but I have lost my father 10 years ago when I was 17. It made/makes me so happy when people ask questions about THEM and their life, not just how I was /am doing with it. It gives me so much warmth and joy to talk about how great he was and his life etc. thank you for being that person and having such a good heart. I knew you did by watching you already but I normally don’t comment. I guarantee she has thought about you and your kindness many times since that flight and probably will for a life time.
The lights look liked fun. Thank you for sharing your life. I started watching your channel just before my mom passed away last January and it has helped me a lot in many ways especially my mental health. And I thank you for that.
@@JettingJulia, thank you it's been tough because my mom and I were very close and her death was very sudden. But I am at in a better place. And of course my family and I have helped each other through it and I have many wonderful friends
You are a bucket filler Julia! The kindness you show is a reflection of your soul. Tragically when I was 21 years old I was on vacation with my parents in Madrid, Spain (I am from the US) and my father passed away. I’ll never forget the kindness of the flight crew traveling home and random strangers who helped my mom and I. I wish I had the wherewithal to get names etc but I didn’t. It’s 26 years later and I remember their kindness. I hope you. Eric and Luna have a wonderful holiday! ❤️💚🎄🎅🏻
Great video Julia. I was a nurse for 42 years and have a lot of good stories and a lot of sad stories . There are some that will always stick in my mind , even today and can still remember their names even after all these years. You always need compassion no matter what kind of job you do. Hope you and Eric and Luna have a great Holiday Season. P.S. I believe you are going to Hawaii .🌴🌴🌴
Hi Julia! 43 year old GP Doctor here from Germany. You are such a beautiful soul a true and rare Empath. BUT please you have to take care of your own emotional well-being! It is possible to be understanding, supportive, loving and caring in your job without taking it all home with you. It took me several years, thousands of hours of talking with my mom and hubby and one year of a resilience training but it is possible. The first years in hospital after university I worked in onkology. I started at 25 and I always talked to the patients and their loved ones who went through the hardest time of their lives. I was full of empathy but had zero self protection so after a few months I started dreaming horrible scenarios of getting cancer or my loved ones getting it and dying. It was a terrible time. I was so young and had no training or support in dealing with all those things I experienced in my job. Long story short I started a resilience coaching with a psychologist and it wasn’t an easy journey but now I know my boundaries and my self protection shields are an important instrument for being the best doctor for my patients I possibly can. (In the meantime I have my own practice since 2016) I had to learn that only if I am emotionally stable I can be the support and guide my patients need me to be. So please protect yourself! Love and blessings!
Whenever I see a plane flying, my first thought is about how many emotions are on that plane. People happy to go on holiday, people scared of flying, or some flying to say goodbye. Even in an airport I always 'people-watch'. So so so so many emotions.
Sometimes just being there for somebody, even if it's just for a few seconds, can make their day that much better! I've had one of the best, and at the same time, toughest years in a long time this year! My anxiety has been over the top lately, but I talked somebody down from a panic attack a few weeks ago, and somehow felt like I helped myself in the process! I'm no therapist, just a listener. HAPPY HOLIDAYS to You, Eric, Luna - and your loved ones!🙂🙂
That was one of the most eye-opening videos regarding not only human interaction but what special people like flight attendants see and experience on a regular basis. I will certainly look at your comrades in arms in a different way the next time I hop on a plane. Merry Christmas and hope you have a blessed New Year!
Great video Julia, it's so true what you said about life, we went on holiday to Greece in 2005 just landed when we had a phone call to say are son had been involved in a car crash and they did not know if he was going to live. we had a nightmare to get back to the Uk but thankfully he lived, after 5 months in ITU he left hospital in a wheel chair but is disabled, Thank you for sharing this video
I don’t know how I missed this video Julia but what a blessing to see it today. Thank you for sharing these moments. Because you cared to take some time to be with these passengers in the moment I’m sure they not only were thankful in that moment but remember your kindness to this day. It’s such a wonderful way to minister to someone in the moment they need it or celebrate their joys with them. One moment that stands out to me is I was in a drive through line waiting to get my dinner and someone hit my car from behind. Obviously I was like what the heck! So I got out and the other driver got out. She was so apologetic!! She said she liked the magnet I had on my car and wanted to get a closer look and didn’t mean to hit me. And then she started crying and said she had the worst day. I don’t remember the details of what she said but something about her son. I gave her a big hug and said let’s look at the cars. No damage, not even a scratch. I gave her another big hug and we went on our separate ways. I always hoped that whatever it was that had her upset that day resolved and she is doing well in life. I hope you share more stories like these. ❤❤
I was a postpartum nurse at a very culturally diverse hospital and there were many stories. Kindness, respect and sometimes a little humor can go a long way. One comment among the hundreds I can tell you about, was the mother of one of my patients at who thanked me for being so good to her daughter, who had had a rough go of it making less than desirable choices. She said, “Not everyone would’ve treated her like you are.” I thanked her and said everyone, including me, has made choices that hurt us and others - we all have skeletons in our closets, they’re just different skeletons!
First off thank you so much for all you do and the joy you bring folks on and off the plane! I love your videos and stories. Secondly a human connection story: I was on a job when a vehicle lost control, came through my cones, and crashed into a guiderail. Luckily I saw all of this go down and ran to assist the driver. He was having a heart attack and I stabilized him on scene before EMTs arrived. After work was concluded for the day, my coworker and I drove to the hospital with flowers, and got to meet this man's family. I learned that he was just 42 yrs old, and our quick reaction saved his life. I teach this story in every training class I do, to always be prepared for anything, you never know who you could save just by being present.
Julia, I am watching this on Christmas night with tears in my eyes. You are such a sweet soul. Hoping you have been enjoying the holiday season even with all of the travel chaos! You bring joy to the world!
When I was a FA for Continental Airlines back in the day I was working Tpa to Bos I had a UNAM on my plane he seemed nervous, I asked if he was ok and he said his Dad had taken him to Florida and his Mom did not know. He said he missed his Mom and it broke my heart, he loved my wings so I gave him my extra set of wings, you would have thought i gave him gold. When we landed he hugged me and I cried, it was beautiful
I lost my brother a couple months ago and I have been commuting from DC to California frequently to spend time with him and to be with family after he passed. I have to say that most of the flight attendants were amazing and made my day a bit better with each trip. Thank you for the stories!
I use to love Luna the most, but your in the running for number 1. Merry Christmas my love. Never doubt what God put you on this earth for. Your doing it.
Thank you for sharing some of these humbling stories. It’s really nice to read the comments of your subscribers who also share words of wisdom. I have been a nurse for 22 yrs and as some have said previously you never forget some moments. I will always remember comforting bereaved relatives and also sending patients home to their families when the odds were against them recovering. Wishing you and your subscribers a safe and restful Christmas 🎄
Life is definitely a gift! Thankful every day that we wake up healthy. You’re a human being that transmits light and good energy so keep that up always Julia!❤
Julia - you have a beautiful soul inside and out! Those stories really prove it. I've heard from many people (mostly from clients) that their loved ones often ignore or disregard their emotional pain. It's even easier to do that as a complete stranger, but it takes a lot of empathy, emotional intelligence, and most of all kindness to approach someone, ask about it, and just listen. ❤️ My job as a therapist is very rewarding in that way but it can be very hard to carry others' stories with us.
Thank you Julia, your stories of compassion , and love , really touched me ...thank you for being there for those in need,🙏 Have a very Merry Christmas ❤️🌹
I deal with patients in their worst moments when they come into the E.R, I had to take a lady to get imaging for newly diagnosed cancer, she was so scared, and I was able to pray for her in the elevator on the way to her scans. I prayed that god would take away her cancer that there would miracles that happen and I stood in the middle of cancer for her. She was so greatful and it helped to ease her a little. ❤️❤️
i had a story like that, not quite as tragic, but i was behind a person at grocery store checkout lane, and this person was just berating this young girl cashier, she made a mistake and something got rung up as more expensive (we are talking like $2) and this person was just hurling insult after insult at this girl, who couldn't have been more than 16 and just in tears. i finally had enough and moved up in line and said to the rude person, "i'll give $20 if you just stop talking and leave, now." the rude person was shocked into silence, they left. the cashier was still in tears, and just thanked me, and said that was the first time any has ever stuck up for her. i just said, "you're welcome and hope your day gets better." but i just can't abide that kind of behavior and it just always stuck with me.
Aww Luna is so cute as always. There is something similar to Enchant by LaGuardia Airport at Citifield where the Mets play looked similar but here in NY it’s cold. With regards to your touching stories you always meet people for a reason if only for that moment to listen to them and help them. Those are the memorable things that should always remain from your job. It shows the care and compassion you have for people. Happy Holidays to you! I hope 2023 is a fantastic year ahead for you.
Thank you for taking the time could you share those experiences with us. It's kind people like you, that will take the time out of there busy day to help another. After those experiences, doesn't it make you feel good that you have taken that time to share your compassion with others. I hope you Eric and Luna have a very merry Christmas, God bless you for your compassion!
Thank you for sharing. Lets see, your secret destination is you will be coming back to Richmond VA (Yes, I can see the overwhelming excitement!). Have a great holiday and be safe!
I feel like your wings go far beyond their actual meaning Julia. You have obviously been an Angel on earth to many without you realizing it. Kindness compassion and genuine love for others is a beautiful and somewhat lost gift, but you carry it so very well. You are a precious soul. 💞
My child is very scared of flying and on one flight when she was little she was crying as she got on the plane . The flight attendant was incredible. She brought my daughter a drink as soon as the plane took off (before anyone else) with a little heart pendant on the straw and even offered my daughter her personal iPad (my daughter had one). It was so wonderful! We don't fly anymore because she is so scared but I will never forget that wonderful flight attendant.
Wonderful video and a reminder for us all to treat everyone with compassion. My work story goes all the way back to highschool. My Mom was a nursing supervisor at the IU Med Center and I was fascinated with medicine. I was hired to be a patient transporter right after I got my driver's license working weekends, full time summers. One of my regular patients I took for long wheelchair rides to PT was a very nice older man and we'd just talk on his daily trips. I looked forward to them because he was so interesting and told stories about his exploits flying in the Air Force. One day I started work and one of the other transporters told me Mr. Smith died. It was a shock but growing up with Mom and her stories from work prepared me, even at 16, for the things that happen in medical jobs. It develops a "Detached Compassion" which helps you treat others with care, compassion and respect but also prepares you to maintain some emotional detachment... Otherwise you'd quickly be overwhelmed with sadness and grief. It also reminds you of the fragility of life. Something your sister YT and AA FA, Kacey, recently experienced 😢
Julia, the story about the woman who was flying because her sister passed away really touched me. Just being there with her and taking time to hold her hand was an act of human kindness that she will always remember you for.
That story reminds me of Kacey Cassidy, another AA FA vlogger. She recently lost her sister. She also got married 3 days before her 22 yr. old sister passed away. I wonder if Julia is talking about Kacey.
I have a flight attendant story that I remember everytime I fly. I was a soldier in one of the many wars that we have fought in the last few years and we had been to Tokyo Japan for R and R for a week and we were about to land back in the country where we were going back to the war torn destination. R and R was over and we were arriving back at the war torn country and one of the Flight Attendants was asking everyone to put away their things and then raise the seat backs up then she said "I'm sorry that we have to bring you back here" to this war. If you have ever been to war you know what I'm talking about. I can still hear the nice ladies voice as she spoke those words.
Completely resonate with this. I'm ex-crew and love your videos! ♥ 2015 - rear galley of a 777-300 from LHR-LAX, finished the main service and getting drinks etc. for pax. US Army lady comes into the galley and stands chatting with us. On return from a tour in Afghan (I think,) and was really happy to be off home to see her young son - had been away for 9 months. All of a sudden she just blurted out, "I think I'm going to die," and she's down on the floor of the galley. We went at her for 2 hours with the defib and CPR, even though the defib was saying "no shock advised." We nearly diverted but she was gone. No doctor on-board, so no help from anyone with professional medical qualifications. I got to the hotel and just cried for hours. It was heart-wrenching and we were so determined to get her back, and we couldn't. A few weeks later, we were told she'd had a massive heart attack and there was nothing we could have done. 😢 The certainty which she literally predicted her own death still haunts me to this day but I still remember the conversation we had and she died in a positive frame of mind at least. People think we just serve(d) chicken or beef but it's so much more than that. Firefighter, counsellor, nurse, cleaner, waiter/waitress, disaster management, security person. There can be a lot of emotion on just the one flight! Despite all the drama, miss it loads. It's a bug that never leaves you - so keep on touching the sky! 🥰
Those are such touching stories! When my mom passed and my dad and I was walking to our cars at the hospital, a Lady approached us and asked if she could give us a hug. She said she knew that look on our faces. It was the sweetest thing and I will always remember her genuine kindness.
Julia, you truly are a blessing to your customers, heart of gold. Your first story brought to mind your sister flight attendant Casy Cassidy and her sister Pup. I can't imagine being so close to a sibling and then losing them so unexpectantly. God Bless You over the holidays and always...
I had a similar story to the first one you told . On a flight from Melbourne (Australia) to Frankfurt I sat next to this mid 30s lady . After a while of chatting she told me that her sister had died in Holland , and she was travelling there for the funeral and to pick up her 2 nieces . She mentioned that they had made a pact years ago , that if one of the sisters would die the other would look after their Children . We ended up talking for hours , and I was happy to listen as it seemed she needed to get a lot of her thoughts off her chest . On arrival to Frankfurt she thanked me for being there for her in this difficult situation . I was more than happy to oblige , and still wonder to this day how everything went for her .
In this day and age of me, me, me, it’s nice to know that there are younger people out there like you who actually care. These stories show your strong character, and that’s a wonderful thing. I hope you, Eric and Luna have a great Christmas! Are you going to Hawaii?❤✈️🎄
Ms. Ross, you are amazing. I know that life as a flight attendant can be difficult but to be there during pasenger's darkest hours is something. I have to give you credit for all the work that you do as a flight attendant. Merry Christmas, Joshua
Julia, regarding stories while flying: my stories are many, because on flights we're always sitting with/next to strangers. A very safe space and environment for sharing personal experiences; because no one knows your name, where you're from, where you live, etc. So, during my many years of travel, seatmates and I have had so many things to share, because it goes no further. We can be completely open. Oh, and before I forget, I recently won a $50 gift certificate, and yesterday the woman behind me paid for my groceries. She said she was "paying a kindness forward." Now it's my turn. Happy holidays to you and yours, Julia. Thank you for sharing your precious stories 💗😊
Great vlog as always! You are flying to HI! I have done the same type of work but on the ground. I worked for SAS/SK from 1996-2007 both as a ticket agent and as a Red cap. I remember one young woman, she was a muslim and her father had just died in a north African country, and like in some other religions they have be in ground within a space of 24-48h. She was flying from Scandinavia via a major hub to the place of the funeral. The funeral was to be in the evening and this was at 9am. Our flight had been cancelled due to fog at the hub airport. The rest of central Europe also had fog and cancelled flights. Flights from southern Europe had left and had no flights until next morning, but then the funeral was over. I felt so sorry for this young woman. I think she cancelled the trip. I also have a story about the SAS crash at LIN. I will tell it later. Be safe!
awesome vlog. yes you see all kinds of people in your line of work. hard to console people, but you listen and are compassionate. that's all we can ask. keep smiling and being positive. that gratitude journal is an amazing gift for sure best at the holidays for you, family
Thanks for sharing your stories and thank you for what you do. You don't know the impact you had on those travelers' lives, but I guarantee they never forgot that interaction with you in some of their darkest moments. You were a bright light in a dark time for them. Thank you for seeing their pain and helping them through it in that moment.
Hawaii 😊 Julia ❤. what you did sure can make that tiny bit of difference to somebody day,kinds words, a hug , listen ear . Very touching stories 💕 You name it .what a lovley thought for the couple wedding anniversary .😊 I use to work in a Hospice ( weekend ) i was still at High school. I take the drinks trolly around & meals Chat with the patients , many didn’t have family to visit them ,or they lived to far away . I had a few that sadly passed away on me while on duty ( but the families were very grateful that their loved one was not alone at the time) . A very Merry Christmas to you Eric & Luna. And all the Very very Best for 2023 🥂🍾
My gosh. You are proof that some angels don't need wings. Bless you Julia. I was getting choked up too as you were sharing those stories. The wedding story made me smile. WOW those lights at the Enchant Dallas show were freaking amazing! And indeed that magnet is gorgeous! Ok...Looked like it had an image of Big Ben on it? Soooo.. might London be where you're headed next? Wakey wakey Luna AWWWW . Geez she can't get any cuter!! Thanks Julia for this..please feel free to share more such impactful moments in the future. 🥰👼
Yes I had a life remerance last week, huge emotional roller coaster.! A stranger confuted me and it really helped get me through the situation at hand. Thanks for all you do! Happy Landings!
I’m a hair stylist, & future flight attendant. Those connections are what life is all about! I can’t tell you how many times I have connected with people in a way that means so much more then money or time! You are special, to be able to make that connection and value it! Peoples that are almost strangers can change the way that you look at the world. We all need love and connection, Sometimes it goes unnoticed, but you noticed and took action. You took the time to listen, creating love and compassion! I’m cheesy, I know! Be the miracle that someone needs, it’s always worth it!
Life is short make the most of it I have to say that point you’d made there has packed a real punch to make everyone aware that they need to spend time with their family and make the most of them;)
A lovely video Julia. I once served someone at work who had very recently been dumped by her boyfriend so I asked her if she wanted a hug, which she wanted. She told my boss it made her day.
Thank you for this video. I appreciated your stories of giving emotional support to passengers going through hard times. Of course, I have always appreciated your skill at spreading happiness!! Have a nice week!!
Loved this video, Julia! It says a lot about your character to have that kind of patience, kindness, and empathy for others! It's the smallest things sometimes that could brighten up someone's day or at least make it a little more bearable!
Merry Christmas Julia the world need more people like you showing kindness comfort and compassion towards others I'm sure the lady you sat with will be forever grateful and thankful for the kindness you showed in sitting with her during the flight i hope you Eric and Luna have a lovely Christmas and new year thank you for al the great video this year LOVED watching each one and i always look forward to your uploads x take care i admire you for who you are and how you treat others ❤
First and foremost, excellent content as always Julia! Oh, alllll the feels when you tell an emotional story! Time and time again, you show your genuineness and your humanity and your humility! You desire to love and uplift others is inspiring. I know you have tough days at work sometimes, as we all do. But it is obvious that you try your best to bring positivity to the world around you! As a Grocery Store Manager, I have had many experiences, similar to the ones you told in this video. Most recently, one of my regular customers was buying a few bouquets of flowers. As I was putting them in her cart, I asked her what the occasion was. She replied that she was trying to cheer herself up, as her sister had just recently passed away and she was having a really tough time with it. I voided off the flowers, and I told her that we were going to pay for her flowers. She got a little emotional and thanked me several times. Those of us that work with the public are called to a much more important role than our Job Descriptions outline. Although I have never actually seen you in action, I am 1000% certain that you go above and beyond EVERY flight, every day! Merry Christmas Julia!
It seems like few people care at all for others. You are so kind, caring, and compassionate Julia. An absolute Gem! Those that are in your circle are truly fortunate. I would like to wish you and Eric a very Merry Christmas! God Bless. 👍
I was a theatre nurse. We had an elderly man die in the operating theatre. His wife came up to theatres to see him. When I saw her sitting next to him she looked so lonely. I went to speak with her and she just opened up, telling me amazing stories about this man, her hero.
Thank you for sharing those touching stories. Not everyone would reach out to those in needs, so I am positive you made a very positive impact in their lives. Luna looks fantstic as always. Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones.
Great video Wish you , Eric and Luna a very Merry Christmas. I am glad that you are so passionate about your job and your passengers. Wish you had been on our last flight . It was not a good experience at all. Thanks for being so positive
Good morning always enjoy your videos I had a couple of close friends of mine that worked in the airline industry work for 42 years in Vegas pushing planes fueling everything you flight attendants do an amazing job and when we get on the plane we appreciate seeing you and another thing it looks like you're letting your hair grow out it looks really good
Wow, such powerful stories you shared with all your followers, Julia. You are a kind and loving human being indeed! I’ll tell you the hardest story in my life working in cancer care. About 15 years ago, I was treating a gentleman with a terminal cancer diagnosis and he confided in me that he was so scared to die. In all the years of my career, I have never once had a patient look, act, and say such a statement. I didn’t even know how to respond to that one but what I did do (just as you did) was to just stop everything, listen, and provide empathy to this person. I also told him I’d pray for him and I hope that brought a little comfort to him at his end of life. Such a sad moment in my working career but at the same time, I felt privileged to have helped him and others in similar situations to find some quality of life and show them there are still caring people in this world.
One time my husband and I were having our picture taken for our church photo directory. The photographer started crying and said that my husband looked like his son who had passed away. He asked if my husband would give him a hug, my husband did. It meant so much to him. It is amazing how you can make such a difference to someone in the little things. Loved your stories! ❤️
WOW!! Its no surprise you are moved by these stories, Julia. I don't know you personally, but you seem like such a kind and empathic person. In a very natural way. The world needs more people like you! I heard a story on CBC Radio. Terry O'Reilly has a show about media and advertising. The story was a man was going to see his baby grandson. He was to be taken off life support after his daughter's "live-in boyfriend" had beaten the child. So he was more than twenty minutes late to board the flight and he thought it had left. When he got there the plane was still there waiting for him. Full of passengers. It was a Southwest flight. The captain met him and said "the plane can't leave without me, and I'm not leaving without you". Terry's point was Southwest has enough respect for its employees to let them make decisions like this. Flying may not be what it used to be (lots of flights delayed today because of weather) but caring people make all the difference. Caring people like YOU Jetting Julia Ross!!! All the best to you and Eric and Luna for the holidays and New Year!
Listen, I really hope you see this comment. I went on my first plane ride this year and it was really scary, but what was even more scary for me was that when I came back from my vacation I had to fly back alone. So needless to say I was a nervous wreck. But...these two incredible flight attendants were there, we met when I first got on the plane and they took care of me the entire time, checking on my nerves and making sure I didn't feel alone. At the point where we started descending I had a panic attack and they both came over to me, knelt down beside my seat and held my hands, and one of them even let me hug her until I could calm down. Those two ladies were my angels, and they didn't even make me feel bad afterwards for panicking so much. Flight attendants are superheroes and so helpful. Thank you for all that you do, trust me when I say your work is far from overlooked. ❤️
I appreciate your life stories, and your compassion is just another thing that makes you so special Julia. Cool refrigerator magnets.....Happy holiday travels.....can't wait to see your next trip. Merry Christmas!

Thank you to all of you for watching! I appreciate the JJ online fam so much!
We appreciate you too. That's putting it mildly.
What Airline do you work for????
I wish you would doa video with Luna about Luna only. Best wishes.
You have shared some heartwarming moments. Expect more. One of mine. On a layover in Cleveland, went to matinee move with one other F/A. Only 10 people in there. Five elderly women. One had a heart attack. We began CPR. She was taken to hospital. About six weeks later I received a card from her via my supervisor. I wrote to her to tell her I was glad she was well and the day this had occured was my birthday. Every year for nine years I received a birthday card from her. One day, not around my birthday I received a note from one of her daughters letting me know her mother had passed. She thanked me for being part of giving her and her family nine more years with their mother. Be ready, you will do more simple things that mean alot to the person you are speaking with. It is a nice feeling and you should take it all in. Be well my friend.
I remember you telling me about the missing son. I read someone said you need to separate yourself so you don’t absorb the misery but I honestly think I love that you don’t. It makes you the compassionate, understanding, accepting and the beautiful person you are. No, you can’t let yourself become overwhelmed but how can you relate to people if you don’t just feel empathy-it makes you human & I love how you feel the good & the bad. You & your sister are such beautiful, empathetic &loving people & we’re so proud your our girls❤️
Thank you Mama! You raised Alicia and I to be the people we are, we model after you. Thank you for setting the example to be kind, compassionate & sympathetic to others. I love you!❤️

@@shariross6439 Like daughter, like mother!
I loved these stories Julia!!! One story I would like to share, is that I was at target with my twin toddlers and they were just not having it. I was “that mom”, walking through the aisles trying to get groceries with screaming kids. After I’ve already checked out, I was putting my stuff away in the car and a woman came up. She said she noticed me in the store and wanted to tell me that I’m doing a wonderful job and asked if she can put my cart away for me 😭😭😭😭 I broke down, thanked her and we hugged. I think it’s so important to be kind. If you wanna compliment someone just for fun- DO IT, they probably need to hear it. ♥️
Awwww you are an amazing mama!! Thank you for sharing!
@@JettingJulia hi Julia
You seem like such a kind soul and your airline and passengers are lucky to have you.
What a nice comment, thank you Sarah! 🙂❤️
God bless you Julia what a blessing you are to so many people..I will pray for you and for safe travels...😇🙏❤️
The few minutes you took to speak with the passenger about her sister will be something she remembers forever. And that’s what true kindness is about. Stay safe and sweet my friend! 🥰
Julia, I know this is an older video, but I just wanted to comment on your compassion and sensitivity…I’m sure you’ve helped a lot of people. You’re inspiring!
You’re just delightful. I was having a bad day, you’ve lightened it after hearing these stories.
I had a rough 2 weeks at work and felt a little down. Then I saw this video and felt uplifted and more grateful, and positive for the future. You're not just telling stories, you can possibly have a positive impact on others' stories. 💋
Your an angel Julia! People who fly with you are flying with an angel. Such a great attitude. thank you!
Julia, what a wonderful and kind person you are to spend time reaching out to others who are in need. Not everyone would do that. You are such a beautiful special soul! Everything you do resonates with kindness to others. I appreciate all that you do to spread love to those in need.
Thank you so much! ❤️
Julia, you're truly an angel.
Julia, your compassion and caring for others honestly reminds me of a nurse. I am one, but hearing you talk about others and experiences makes me think you would be an awesome nurse.
I’m tearing up and I’m only 3 minutes in. Thank god I haven’t lost my sister yet and I hope not for many decades, but I have lost my father 10 years ago when I was 17. It made/makes me so happy when people ask questions about THEM and their life, not just how I was /am doing with it. It gives me so much warmth and joy to talk about how great he was and his life etc. thank you for being that person and having such a good heart. I knew you did by watching you already but I normally don’t comment. I guarantee she has thought about you and your kindness many times since that flight and probably will for a life time.
Oh Julia, the story of the lady that was searching for her missing son 💔😢 thank goodness you were there for her. Bless you xxx
Sometimes its the great stories like that that make our job the best!
The lights look liked fun. Thank you for sharing your life. I started watching your channel just before my mom passed away last January and it has helped me a lot in many ways especially my mental health. And I thank you for that.
I am so sorry about your mom❤️ My heart goes out to you!
@@JettingJulia, thank you it's been tough because my mom and I were very close and her death was very sudden. But I am at in a better place. And of course my family and I have helped each other through it and I have many wonderful friends
@@JettingJulia my mom’s dad died in may and ever since he died, I miss him a lot 😢
You are a bucket filler Julia! The kindness you show is a reflection of your soul. Tragically when I was 21 years old I was on vacation with my parents in Madrid, Spain (I am from the US) and my father passed away. I’ll never forget the kindness of the flight crew traveling home and random strangers who helped my mom and I. I wish I had the wherewithal to get names etc but I didn’t. It’s 26 years later and I remember their kindness. I hope you. Eric and Luna have a wonderful holiday! ❤️💚🎄🎅🏻
Thank you Cathleen. Oh I am so sorry to hear about your father passing away, he's watching over you!
I agree 100000%!!!
You have a huge ❤ very caring compassionate person ..you are definitely in the right job working with the public …best airline stewardess
Great video Julia. I was a nurse for 42 years and have a lot of good stories and a lot of sad stories . There are some that will always stick in my mind , even today and can still remember their names even after all these years. You always need compassion no matter what kind of job you do. Hope you and Eric and Luna have a great Holiday Season. P.S. I believe you are going to Hawaii .🌴🌴🌴
Hi Julia! 43 year old GP Doctor here from Germany. You are such a beautiful soul a true and rare Empath. BUT please you have to take care of your own emotional well-being! It is possible to be understanding, supportive, loving and caring in your job without taking it all home with you. It took me several years, thousands of hours of talking with my mom and hubby and one year of a resilience training but it is possible.
The first years in hospital after university I worked in onkology. I started at 25 and I always talked to the patients and their loved ones who went through the hardest time of their lives. I was full of empathy but had zero self protection so after a few months I started dreaming horrible scenarios of getting cancer or my loved ones getting it and dying. It was a terrible time. I was so young and had no training or support in dealing with all those things I experienced in my job.
Long story short I started a resilience coaching with a psychologist and it wasn’t an easy journey but now I know my boundaries and my self protection shields are an important instrument for being the best doctor for my patients I possibly can. (In the meantime I have my own practice since 2016)
I had to learn that only if I am emotionally stable I can be the support and guide my patients need me to be. So please protect yourself!
Love and blessings!
Whenever I see a plane flying, my first thought is about how many emotions are on that plane. People happy to go on holiday, people scared of flying, or some flying to say goodbye. Even in an airport I always 'people-watch'. So so so so many emotions.
Wonderful video heartfelt and with love your truly an Angel 🎉in the skies God bless you and keep you safe always ❤
Sometimes just being there for somebody, even if it's just for a few seconds, can make their day that much better! I've had one of the best, and at the same time, toughest years in a long time this year! My anxiety has been over the top lately, but I talked somebody down from a panic attack a few weeks ago, and somehow felt like I helped myself in the process! I'm no therapist, just a listener. HAPPY HOLIDAYS to You, Eric, Luna - and your loved ones!🙂🙂
That was one of the most eye-opening videos regarding not only human interaction but what special people like flight attendants see and experience on a regular basis. I will certainly look at your comrades in arms in a different way the next time I hop on a plane. Merry Christmas and hope you have a blessed New Year!
Great video Julia, it's so true what you said about life, we went on holiday to Greece in 2005 just landed when we had a phone call to say are son had been involved in a car crash and they did not know if he was going to live. we had a nightmare to get back to the Uk but thankfully he lived, after 5 months in ITU he left hospital in a wheel chair but is disabled, Thank you for sharing this video
99% of the time, I think God wants us to love on the person that is going through a difficult time, thank you Sara for being a sensitive spirit
I don’t know how I missed this video Julia but what a blessing to see it today. Thank you for sharing these moments. Because you cared to take some time to be with these passengers in the moment I’m sure they not only were thankful in that moment but remember your kindness to this day. It’s such a wonderful way to minister to someone in the moment they need it or celebrate their joys with them.
One moment that stands out to me is I was in a drive through line waiting to get my dinner and someone hit my car from behind. Obviously I was like what the heck! So I got out and the other driver got out. She was so apologetic!! She said she liked the magnet I had on my car and wanted to get a closer look and didn’t mean to hit me. And then she started crying and said she had the worst day. I don’t remember the details of what she said but something about her son. I gave her a big hug and said let’s look at the cars. No damage, not even a scratch. I gave her another big hug and we went on our separate ways. I always hoped that whatever it was that had her upset that day resolved and she is doing well in life.
I hope you share more stories like these. ❤❤
I was a postpartum nurse at a very culturally diverse hospital and there were many stories. Kindness, respect and sometimes a little humor can go a long way. One comment among the hundreds I can tell you about, was the mother of one of my patients at who thanked me for being so good to her daughter, who had had a rough go of it making less than desirable choices. She said, “Not everyone would’ve treated her like you are.” I thanked her and said everyone, including me, has made choices that hurt us and others - we all have skeletons in our closets, they’re just different skeletons!
First off thank you so much for all you do and the joy you bring folks on and off the plane! I love your videos and stories. Secondly a human connection story: I was on a job when a vehicle lost control, came through my cones, and crashed into a guiderail. Luckily I saw all of this go down and ran to assist the driver. He was having a heart attack and I stabilized him on scene before EMTs arrived. After work was concluded for the day, my coworker and I drove to the hospital with flowers, and got to meet this man's family. I learned that he was just 42 yrs old, and our quick reaction saved his life. I teach this story in every training class I do, to always be prepared for anything, you never know who you could save just by being present.
I want to snuggle with Luna! It can be hard to view each day as a blessing when your life feels like you're in a midst of a storm.
You have a beautiful soul
Your compassion. Is very touching ❤️🙏🙏🏾
Julia, I am watching this on Christmas night with tears in my eyes. You are such a sweet soul. Hoping you have been enjoying the holiday season even with all of the travel chaos! You bring joy to the world!
When I was a FA for Continental Airlines back in the day I was working Tpa to Bos I had a UNAM on my plane he seemed nervous, I asked if he was ok and he said his Dad had taken him to Florida and his Mom did not know. He said he missed his Mom and it broke my heart, he loved my wings so I gave him my extra set of wings, you would have thought i gave him gold. When we landed he hugged me and I cried, it was beautiful
Beautiful, thank you for sharing!
Thanks for sharing these stories with us. You are a very caring person to talk with your passengers when you notice that there aren’t doing well.
I lost my brother a couple months ago and I have been commuting from DC to California frequently to spend time with him and to be with family after he passed. I have to say that most of the flight attendants were amazing and made my day a bit better with each trip. Thank you for the stories!
I use to love Luna the most, but your in the running for number 1. Merry Christmas my love. Never doubt what God put you on this earth for. Your doing it.
Thank you for sharing some of these humbling stories. It’s really nice to read the comments of your subscribers who also share words of wisdom. I have been a nurse for 22 yrs and as some have said previously you never forget some moments. I will always remember comforting bereaved relatives and also sending patients home to their families when the odds were against them recovering. Wishing you and your subscribers a safe and restful Christmas 🎄
Life is definitely a gift! Thankful every day that we wake up healthy. You’re a human being that transmits light and good energy so keep that up always Julia!❤
Julia - you have a beautiful soul inside and out! Those stories really prove it. I've heard from many people (mostly from clients) that their loved ones often ignore or disregard their emotional pain. It's even easier to do that as a complete stranger, but it takes a lot of empathy, emotional intelligence, and most of all kindness to approach someone, ask about it, and just listen. ❤️ My job as a therapist is very rewarding in that way but it can be very hard to carry others' stories with us.
Thank you Julia, your stories of compassion , and love , really touched me ...thank you for being there for those in need,🙏
Have a very Merry Christmas ❤️🌹
You are a very kind person. I know you have to be appreciated by the people you have touched with your heart.
I deal with patients in their worst moments when they come into the E.R, I had to take a lady to get imaging for newly diagnosed cancer, she was so scared, and I was able to pray for her in the elevator on the way to her scans. I prayed that god would take away her cancer that there would miracles that happen and I stood in the middle of cancer for her. She was so greatful and it helped to ease her a little. ❤️❤️
i had a story like that, not quite as tragic, but i was behind a person at grocery store checkout lane, and this person was just berating this young girl cashier, she made a mistake and something got rung up as more expensive (we are talking like $2) and this person was just hurling insult after insult at this girl, who couldn't have been more than 16 and just in tears. i finally had enough and moved up in line and said to the rude person, "i'll give $20 if you just stop talking and leave, now." the rude person was shocked into silence, they left. the cashier was still in tears, and just thanked me, and said that was the first time any has ever stuck up for her. i just said, "you're welcome and hope your day gets better." but i just can't abide that kind of behavior and it just always stuck with me.
Aww Luna is so cute as always. There is something similar to Enchant by LaGuardia Airport at Citifield where the Mets play looked similar but here in NY it’s cold. With regards to your touching stories you always meet people for a reason if only for that moment to listen to them and help them. Those are the memorable things that should always remain from your job. It shows the care and compassion you have for people. Happy Holidays to you! I hope 2023 is a fantastic year ahead for you.
Thank you for taking the time could you share those experiences with us. It's kind people like you, that will take the time out of there busy day to help another. After those experiences, doesn't it make you feel good that you have taken that time to share your compassion with others. I hope you Eric and Luna have a very merry Christmas, God bless you for your compassion!
Thank you for sharing. Lets see, your secret destination is you will be coming back to Richmond VA (Yes, I can see the overwhelming excitement!). Have a great holiday and be safe!
I feel like your wings go far beyond their actual meaning Julia. You have obviously been an Angel on earth to many without you realizing it. Kindness compassion and genuine love for others is a beautiful and somewhat lost gift, but you carry it so very well. You are a precious soul. 💞
Your best video ever. God bless you and Eric this Christmas season.
My child is very scared of flying and on one flight when she was little she was crying as she got on the plane . The flight attendant was incredible. She brought my daughter a drink as soon as the plane took off (before anyone else) with a little heart pendant on the straw and even offered my daughter her personal iPad (my daughter had one). It was so wonderful! We don't fly anymore because she is so scared but I will never forget that wonderful flight attendant.
Wonderful video and a reminder for us all to treat everyone with compassion. My work story goes all the way back to highschool. My Mom was a nursing supervisor at the IU Med Center and I was fascinated with medicine. I was hired to be a patient transporter right after I got my driver's license working weekends, full time summers. One of my regular patients I took for long wheelchair rides to PT was a very nice older man and we'd just talk on his daily trips. I looked forward to them because he was so interesting and told stories about his exploits flying in the Air Force. One day I started work and one of the other transporters told me Mr. Smith died. It was a shock but growing up with Mom and her stories from work prepared me, even at 16, for the things that happen in medical jobs. It develops a "Detached Compassion" which helps you treat others with care, compassion and respect but also prepares you to maintain some emotional detachment... Otherwise you'd quickly be overwhelmed with sadness and grief. It also reminds you of the fragility of life. Something your sister YT and AA FA, Kacey, recently experienced 😢
Julia, the story about the woman who was flying because her sister passed away really touched me. Just being there with her and taking time to hold her hand was an act of human kindness that she will always remember you for.
That story reminds me of Kacey Cassidy, another AA FA vlogger. She recently lost her sister. She also got married 3 days before her 22 yr. old sister passed away. I wonder if Julia is talking about Kacey.
@@wandasays5438 Could very well be. I didn't know that about that with Kacey. That has to be hard.
I was not talking about Kacey.
I have a flight attendant story that I remember everytime I fly. I was a soldier in one of the many wars that we have fought in the last few years and we had been to Tokyo Japan for R and R for a week and we were about to land back in the country where we were going back to the war torn destination. R and R was over and we were arriving back at the war torn country and one of the Flight Attendants was asking everyone to put away their things and then raise the seat backs up then she said "I'm sorry that we have to bring you back here" to this war. If you have ever been to war you know what I'm talking about. I can still hear the nice ladies voice as she spoke those words.
Completely resonate with this. I'm ex-crew and love your videos! ♥ 2015 - rear galley of a 777-300 from LHR-LAX, finished the main service and getting drinks etc. for pax. US Army lady comes into the galley and stands chatting with us. On return from a tour in Afghan (I think,) and was really happy to be off home to see her young son - had been away for 9 months. All of a sudden she just blurted out, "I think I'm going to die," and she's down on the floor of the galley. We went at her for 2 hours with the defib and CPR, even though the defib was saying "no shock advised." We nearly diverted but she was gone. No doctor on-board, so no help from anyone with professional medical qualifications. I got to the hotel and just cried for hours. It was heart-wrenching and we were so determined to get her back, and we couldn't. A few weeks later, we were told she'd had a massive heart attack and there was nothing we could have done. 😢 The certainty which she literally predicted her own death still haunts me to this day but I still remember the conversation we had and she died in a positive frame of mind at least. People think we just serve(d) chicken or beef but it's so much more than that. Firefighter, counsellor, nurse, cleaner, waiter/waitress, disaster management, security person. There can be a lot of emotion on just the one flight! Despite all the drama, miss it loads. It's a bug that never leaves you - so keep on touching the sky! 🥰
That’s so heartbreaking and I’m so sorry that happened on your flight!
Those are such touching stories! When my mom passed and my dad and I was walking to our cars at the hospital, a Lady approached us and asked if she could give us a hug. She said she knew that look on our faces. It was the sweetest thing and I will always remember her genuine kindness.
Julia, you truly are a blessing to your customers, heart of gold. Your first story brought to mind your sister flight attendant Casy Cassidy and her sister Pup. I can't imagine being so close to a sibling and then losing them so unexpectantly. God Bless You over the holidays and always...
I had a similar story to the first one you told . On a flight from Melbourne (Australia) to Frankfurt I sat next to this mid 30s lady . After a while of chatting she told me that her sister had died in Holland , and she was travelling there for the funeral and to pick up her 2 nieces . She mentioned that they had made a pact years ago , that if one of the sisters would die the other would look after their Children . We ended up talking for hours , and I was happy to listen as it seemed she needed to get a lot of her thoughts off her chest . On arrival to Frankfurt she thanked me for being there for her in this difficult situation . I was more than happy to oblige , and still wonder to this day how everything went for her .
You’re an Angel. God bless you and Luna.
Thank you!! 😌
In this day and age of me, me, me, it’s nice to know that there are younger people out there like you who actually care. These stories show your strong character, and that’s a wonderful thing. I hope you, Eric and Luna have a great Christmas! Are you going to Hawaii?❤✈️🎄
Ms. Ross, you are amazing. I know that life as a flight attendant can be difficult but to be there during pasenger's darkest hours is something. I have to give you credit for all the work that you do as a flight attendant.
Merry Christmas,
Joshua
Julia, regarding stories while flying: my stories are many, because on flights we're always sitting with/next to strangers. A very safe space and environment for sharing personal experiences; because no one knows your name, where you're from, where you live, etc. So, during my many years of travel, seatmates and I have had so many things to share, because it goes no further. We can be completely open. Oh, and before I forget, I recently won a $50 gift certificate, and yesterday the woman behind me paid for my groceries. She said she was "paying a kindness forward." Now it's my turn.
Happy holidays to you and yours, Julia. Thank you for sharing your precious stories 💗😊
You are proof good people still exist Julia, Merry Christmas.
Great vlog as always! You are flying to HI! I have done the same type of work but on the ground. I worked for SAS/SK from 1996-2007 both as a ticket agent and as a Red cap. I remember one young woman, she was a muslim and her father had just died in a north African country, and like in some other religions they have be in ground within a space of 24-48h. She was flying from Scandinavia via a major hub to the place of the funeral. The funeral was to be in the evening and this was at 9am. Our flight had been cancelled due to fog at the hub airport. The rest of central Europe also had fog and cancelled flights. Flights from southern Europe had left and had no flights until next morning, but then the funeral was over. I felt so sorry for this young woman. I think she cancelled the trip. I also have a story about the SAS crash at LIN. I will tell it later. Be safe!
You are so genuine!
awesome vlog. yes you see all kinds of people in your line of work. hard to console people, but you listen and are compassionate.
that's all we can ask.
keep smiling and being positive. that gratitude journal is an amazing gift for sure
best at the holidays for you, family
Thanks for sharing your stories and thank you for what you do. You don't know the impact you had on those travelers' lives, but I guarantee they never forgot that interaction with you in some of their darkest moments. You were a bright light in a dark time for them. Thank you for seeing their pain and helping them through it in that moment.
3:38 that is so sweet of you to do with the passenger and made her flight more bearable 😅
Happy holidays to u, Eric and Luna. U r such a kind, genuine and caring person. U should b flight attendant of the year. Big hugs from Kentucky!
Hawaii 😊
Julia ❤. what you did sure can make that tiny bit of difference to somebody day,kinds words, a hug , listen ear . Very touching stories 💕
You name it .what a lovley thought for the couple wedding anniversary .😊
I use to work in a Hospice ( weekend ) i was still at High school. I take the drinks trolly around & meals
Chat with the patients , many didn’t have family to visit them ,or they lived to far away .
I had a few that sadly passed away on me while on duty ( but the families were very grateful that their loved one was not alone at the time) .
A very Merry Christmas to you Eric & Luna. And all the Very very Best for 2023 🥂🍾
My gosh. You are proof that some angels don't need wings. Bless you Julia. I was getting choked up too as you were sharing those stories. The wedding story made me smile. WOW those lights at the Enchant Dallas show were freaking amazing! And indeed that magnet is gorgeous! Ok...Looked like it had an image of Big Ben on it? Soooo.. might London be where you're headed next? Wakey wakey Luna AWWWW . Geez she can't get any cuter!! Thanks Julia for this..please feel free to share more such impactful moments in the future. 🥰👼
You are such a blessing!
Yes I had a life remerance last week, huge emotional roller coaster.! A stranger confuted me and it really helped get me through the situation at hand. Thanks for all you do!
Happy Landings!
I’m a hair stylist, & future flight attendant. Those connections are what life is all about! I can’t tell you how many times I have connected with people in a way that means so much more then money or time! You are special, to be able to make that connection and value it! Peoples that are almost strangers can change the way that you look at the world. We all need love and connection, Sometimes it goes unnoticed, but you noticed and took action. You took the time to listen, creating love and compassion! I’m cheesy, I know! Be the miracle that someone needs, it’s always worth it!
Oh Julia so pretty u are great video
Life is short make the most of it I have to say that point you’d made there has packed a real punch to make everyone aware that they need to spend time with their family and make the most of them;)
Merry Christmas Julia, Eric and Luna! All the best in 2023!🎉
A lovely video Julia. I once served someone at work who had very recently been dumped by her boyfriend so I asked her if she wanted a hug, which she wanted. She told my boss it made her day.
Thank you for this video. I appreciated your stories of giving emotional support to passengers going through hard times. Of course, I have always appreciated your skill at spreading happiness!! Have a nice week!!
Thank you Alan, I hope you have a nice week ahead too ☺️
Loved this video, Julia! It says a lot about your character to have that kind of patience, kindness, and empathy for others! It's the smallest things sometimes that could brighten up someone's day or at least make it a little more bearable!
Thank you so much!
Great intuition, sometimes others just need someone to listen.
Merry Christmas Julia the world need more people like you showing kindness comfort and compassion towards others I'm sure the lady you sat with will be forever grateful and thankful for the kindness you showed in sitting with her during the flight i hope you Eric and Luna have a lovely Christmas and new year thank you for al the great video this year LOVED watching each one and i always look forward to your uploads x take care i admire you for who you are and how you treat others ❤
Prayers mean everything.
Merry Christmas Julia,Eric and Luna!❤
First and foremost, excellent content as always Julia! Oh, alllll the feels when you tell an emotional story! Time and time again, you show your genuineness and your humanity and your humility! You desire to love and uplift others is inspiring. I know you have tough days at work sometimes, as we all do. But it is obvious that you try your best to bring positivity to the world around you!
As a Grocery Store Manager, I have had many experiences, similar to the ones you told in this video. Most recently, one of my regular customers was buying a few bouquets of flowers. As I was putting them in her cart, I asked her what the occasion was. She replied that she was trying to cheer herself up, as her sister had just recently passed away and she was having a really tough time with it. I voided off the flowers, and I told her that we were going to pay for her flowers. She got a little emotional and thanked me several times.
Those of us that work with the public are called to a much more important role than our Job Descriptions outline. Although I have never actually seen you in action, I am 1000% certain that you go above and beyond EVERY flight, every day!
Merry Christmas Julia!
It seems like few people care at all for others. You are so kind, caring, and compassionate Julia. An absolute Gem! Those that are in your circle are truly fortunate. I would like to wish you and Eric a very Merry Christmas! God Bless. 👍
Great topics! Happy New Year Julia!
Keep up the amazing work much love from Wales
I was a theatre nurse. We had an elderly man die in the operating theatre. His wife came up to theatres to see him. When I saw her sitting next to him she looked so lonely. I went to speak with her and she just opened up, telling me amazing stories about this man, her hero.
Thank you for sharing those touching stories. Not everyone would reach out to those in needs, so I am positive you made a very positive impact in their lives. Luna looks fantstic as always. Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones.
Great video Wish you , Eric and Luna a very Merry Christmas. I am glad that you are so passionate about your job and your passengers. Wish you had been on our last flight . It was not a good experience at all. Thanks for being so positive
Good morning always enjoy your videos I had a couple of close friends of mine that worked in the airline industry work for 42 years in Vegas pushing planes fueling everything you flight attendants do an amazing job and when we get on the plane we appreciate seeing you and another thing it looks like you're letting your hair grow out it looks really good
Bless you just for being you.
You are so real and amazing!
Wow, such powerful stories you shared with all your followers, Julia. You are a kind and loving human being indeed! I’ll tell you the hardest story in my life working in cancer care. About 15 years ago, I was treating a gentleman with a terminal cancer diagnosis and he confided in me that he was so scared to die. In all the years of my career, I have never once had a patient look, act, and say such a statement. I didn’t even know how to respond to that one but what I did do (just as you did) was to just stop everything, listen, and provide empathy to this person. I also told him I’d pray for him and I hope that brought a little comfort to him at his end of life. Such a sad moment in my working career but at the same time, I felt privileged to have helped him and others in similar situations to find some quality of life and show them there are still caring people in this world.
One time my husband and I were having our picture taken for our church photo directory. The photographer started crying and said that my husband looked like his son who had passed away. He asked if my husband would give him a hug, my husband did. It meant so much to him. It is amazing how you can make such a difference to someone in the little things. Loved your stories! ❤️
WOW!! Its no surprise you are moved by these stories, Julia. I don't know you personally, but you seem like such
a kind and empathic person. In a very natural way. The world needs more people like you! I heard a story on CBC Radio.
Terry O'Reilly has a show about media and advertising. The story was a man was going to see his baby grandson.
He was to be taken off life support after his daughter's "live-in boyfriend" had beaten the child. So he was more than twenty minutes late to board the flight and he thought it had left. When he got there the plane was still there waiting for him.
Full of passengers. It was a Southwest flight. The captain met him and said "the plane can't leave without me, and I'm not leaving without you". Terry's point was Southwest has enough respect for its employees to let them make decisions like this.
Flying may not be what it used to be (lots of flights delayed today because of weather) but caring people make all the difference. Caring people like YOU Jetting Julia Ross!!! All the best to you and Eric and Luna for the holidays and New Year!
Listen, I really hope you see this comment. I went on my first plane ride this year and it was really scary, but what was even more scary for me was that when I came back from my vacation I had to fly back alone. So needless to say I was a nervous wreck. But...these two incredible flight attendants were there, we met when I first got on the plane and they took care of me the entire time, checking on my nerves and making sure I didn't feel alone. At the point where we started descending I had a panic attack and they both came over to me, knelt down beside my seat and held my hands, and one of them even let me hug her until I could calm down. Those two ladies were my angels, and they didn't even make me feel bad afterwards for panicking so much. Flight attendants are superheroes and so helpful. Thank you for all that you do, trust me when I say your work is far from overlooked. ❤️
I appreciate your life stories, and your compassion is just another thing that makes you so special Julia. Cool refrigerator magnets.....Happy holiday travels.....can't wait to see your next trip. Merry Christmas!
Love the "Fly High" boots. Totally makes the outfit. 😁
