You're so right about the stereotype of blacks not feeling pain. This is a belief by them. It's used as an excuse for emptying their guns into us. I've had extensive dental work because I never took good care of my teeth. I had a dentist tell me once that I was not feeling that when I complained. He gave me shots but they did not seem to work. He was one of these root canal dentist. When I went back to my regular dentist for a crown he told me he should have been able to deaden that tooth. I really believe some dentist use some kind of watered down Novocaine for black dental patients. I went to a dentist once for a crown and he could not deaden the tooth. I went to another dentist and told him about the previous dentist. This dentist had no problem deadening the tooth.
We have rights, too. We can report & seek to have a dentist like that decertified & removed from practice. We as FBAs ought not to be afraid to assert our rights in these cases & situations.
Same situation happened to me, like why or what would be the reason for me to lie about feeling the pain as they're doing the procedure...🤔 It makes zero sense❗ I've been paying attention to how I'm treated when I go to the ER or hospital and there is definitely a difference, it's like we have to fight tooth and nail in order to receive proper service/treatment. It's like we almost gotta jump through hoops to receive the proper care.
If you had an infection/abscess you needed to be on antibiotic for a week to get rid of the infection before going for your procedure. If the Endodontist didn’t prescribe the antibiotic, plus ibuprofen to get rid of the inflammation, you were going to resist the lidocaine.
If this doesn't fire your heart up to GIVE YOUR BLACK BUSINESSES A SECOND, THIRD AND ETERNAL CHANCE. GET ON CODE. AND STOP SHOPPING THRU A BULLETPROOF GLASS WINDOW 🧐
My youngest daughter classmate was going through as a flight attendant. She loved the job but quit after being picked on 3-4 years straight. Protect yourself out there Queens
Exposing them will only force them to hide it better. Black folks need to accept this reality. Understanding who and what we are dealing with and operate accordingly. We must use the knowledge we learn to create our own Nation within a Nation.
I’m so glad to hear you speak highly of your experience on my country’s air carrier 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹 As a former FA I can agree that everything she stated are all experiences that I’ve personally had. The foolishness started affecting my personality and I left the industry. I would love to return home and fly for Ethiopian or another African air carrier.
Wow, I had no idea the things black flight attendants had to go through on the job. Thank you for bringing this up for our attention. The experiences I was hearing made me felt angry inside. I admire this flight attendant for being brave to share these experiences and I hope she will not get in trouble for coming forward.

Right. Muzungus somehow believe we are simply seeking reparations for slavery when there is nothing further from the truth. It is the systemic racism built into the country called America. The racism that goes unpunished.....This interview is just an example of what happens to blacks in everyday life.

What's wrong with Flight attendant wearing hair braids when they look neat. This is our heritage. Our native hairstyle. Who are they to say it's not proper because we all have to wear hairstyles looking like them.
It's really crazy that black women have to experience these kind of things because they're not a physical being like men.. I can't stand that I'm not there to protect black women

Am so glad to hear this story, becauseI wanted to be a FA an now I know I've been in training before I have experience the same, I have a beautiful job that allows me to travel , the Most High have given me a beautiful Job, of travel.
I've been told about sexual harassment on the job, but will tell u about one of my experiences as a Nurse. I was told about a certain Doctor that liked to touch on the Nurses. White women tolerated this, didn't understand why. I remember this certain Doctor inappropriately touched me! I was shocked, was very young then. I didn't say a word, he knew what was up. I gave him a death stare because it was time to fight and he knew it!! He NEVER touched me again! Some people will accept Anything, but you 'Have' to say NO, and be ready to back it up!!
OMG!! On the one hand I'm sayin "I can't believe it!" Then again I'm not at all surprised. As a collective, we have to go after these airlines and boycott, petition, sue, do walk-outs, do staycations instead of vacations whatever it takes!
You are living on another planet. This will never happen and would be a complete waste of time. We are not a cohesive group. Never was and never will be. Are you kidding me?. Don't believe all that you are hearing. I have flown as a black man for 30 years international, and have not experienced half of what she is talking about. Why do people always bite the hands that feeds them? And Yet she gives not indication of quitting this job. Pure unnecessary hysteria.
Great to hv this video out. Even b4 covid, I hv been bringing my own wipes n disinfecting my whole sitting area,,, armrests, seats, backrest, headrest, seat monitors, folding tables, u get the picture??? Being West Indian, we r vry ticklish about cleanliness.
Yes. As an extracurricular I took a class called Black Psychology in college. I was blessed that it was even offered. I learned many lessons. There are also courses in Jewish Psychology & other cultures too.
Also, stop giving them your money as a collective. Spend your money with your own family, support and uplift them. Help your family create, produce and thrive......the energy needs to be exerted in your own family....just like other people do and have done since the beginning of time.

Wow! Interesting interview! Sleeping with a captain can lead to upward mobility within the company??? That is truly a lawsuit! Domestic violence??? Flight attendants are "minions"??? I would be with civil rights attorneys vs this podcast. I have 33 years with the company where I work, discrimination/racism is definitely an issue. Policies regarding hair have been changed iver the years. .I have seen an increase moreso post covid. I really hate that United is not cleaning cabins and disinfecting. On our aircraft hazmat is standard equipment. I truly recommend wearing shoes on the aircraft. In most hubs, the coffee makers are brought in clean. I totally agree with coffee packs. Fingers touch the packs- it's real... My experiences are different as I am an international flight attendant. Not a fan of domestic flights. Americans are my least desirable group to work with. I work trips based on cities. My preference is to not go to cities in certain states, if I must. I truly would leave the company if I felt that I was not valued. You deserve better.
Thank you for sharing this invaluable information that I did not know until now. Please continue to share this info with the world 🌎 Sis, Thank you for your courage💗 Thank you for educating the public about the hostile work environments that BFA and all of us face on a daily basis. I pray for your strength, peace and protection for you and all our people who are still in the clutches of systemic racism. Racism, and institutional hatred needs to be abolished once and for all 💯
A pilot is going to get the benefit of the doubt more times than not especially over a flight attendant. Fight attendants come a dime a dozen 🤷♂️ pilots have to have so much training and other things that other groups don't
Was a flight attendent for two airlines in the early 80's. Based in (PHX), (LAS), (MCO). There were very few straight Black Men flying back then. It was a open Racism and they would fire Black People for the slightest offense. It was though, a fun, fun, life. I was the only Black Man in two classes of flight attendants (50 people) and had no trouble learning the aircraft we had to be certified on, as I passed with at a 95% rate. She's right, the white folks brought drugs to training, I was amazed. I left after 6 years, went to flight school at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona, then graduated from law school. Oh, BTW: I was fired from both flight attendant jobs......LOL Also, ALL MY DOCTOR'S ARE BLACK!!!!
Good for her! She pointed out so much that is wrong but ignored in the airline industry and others. More of us need to have the courage to speak up. There is nothing noble about suffering in silence. We teach folks how to treat us. Time to start teaching new lessons. Join voices, be loud and hold folks accountable!!!
I always wanted too be an Actress and Flight Attendant. I'm so blessed I miss the racists bs for both occupations. Some disappointments in the work field are a "Blessing in Disguise"!
Don't quick. Flight attendant income is average. Very low. If you passionate to be a flight attendant do it for the lifestyle, you could barely make 30k a year.
I, remember being in my 20s, expressing to my mother, that I wanted to be a flight attendant. She told me, no way. Instead of asking her why, I simply heeded, her words, and, didn't become one. So happy I took her advice.
Thank you for this video Phil!! Please be careful black people, protect yourselves while flying.

What’s a footpost?
I believe you. They do not try to protect Black women.
I find in my volunteer work that Black women tend to be given later shifts, in any profession, than other races of women, which is hard because they are often single mothers who need to come home to their kids.
@@volitionspark2686 Thanks for acknowledging that fact.
I’ll stand with you. I am a Formal Flight Attendant and going thru training I absolutely experienced this type of behavior and unbelievable bias treatment these flight attendant trainings have put us thru.... I will stand with you Sister and tell these stories because it’s definitely something needed to be done not only have I been a flight attendant I currently am an Aircraft Mechanic and contract all over for these Airlines and it’s worst in this industry especially with harassment (Sexual) sad but it is what it is
And it shouldn't be. Speak-up AND Speak-out! What the heck!!!! Ain't nothing should be a, "it is what it is." No one, should put up with that kind of shout! IF THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR CURING THESE KINDS OF BEHAVIORS DON'T CURE THESE BEHAVIORS, SOCIAL MEDIA BABY. Yep, PUT THEM ON BLAST! Right where they belong!!!!!
@@jacquelinejames1444 please tell me why they don’t want black girls to be flight ✈️ Attendants?????? I had two very close girl friends ( like relatives) they Never told me about this. Could it be that one was Miss Oakland , and her sister was a runner up ? They are very fair in complexion …. Do you think it’s different for lighter skin blacks? I WONDER !!!!!!!!!!!! IM SHOCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!

These ppl really do think they're better than you and they hate when they find out you may be smarter than them. 💠 In the office, everyone who was a PC person rec'd help all the time. I was never given help and still kept up with them.... To the point they wanted me to start training someone to take over me job. 💠 When I would offer suggestions, it would be ignored bit when someone else said exactly what I said, it was accepted. 💠A lot of timesi had to get my thoughts across and expedited by using proxies. 💠 Honey can't nobody tell me racism doesn't exist.
I had this favoritism training happened to me recently.
@@sansroyaltydecore9650 yes, Sandra. I believe you. Totally.
They love to make you train them to take over your job.
@@sansroyaltydecore9650 I hear you. Younger Black people often feel racism does not exist.
I’m a teacher and I feel ignored when I make suggestions at a collaborative meeting. I thought it’s because of my accent. Another teacher says the same thing and everybody listens. Oh crap
I work in the airline industry but on the ground as a ramp agent. I still understand what she goes through and pretty much all groups
Imma flight coordinator…well former, I do ticketing now at Turkish airlines. For a contracting company
Pretty much all groups what? No one goes through what bkacks do

I'm so proud of this strong beautiful black queen
How many Queens does the black kingdom have. Never hear about no king's
You're so right about the stereotype of blacks not feeling pain. This is a belief by them. It's used as an excuse for emptying their guns into us. I've had extensive dental work because I never took good care of my teeth. I had a dentist tell me once that I was not feeling that when I complained. He gave me shots but they did not seem to work. He was one of these root canal dentist. When I went back to my regular dentist for a crown he told me he should have been able to deaden that tooth. I really believe some dentist use some kind of watered down Novocaine for black dental patients. I went to a dentist once for a crown and he could not deaden the tooth. I went to another dentist and told him about the previous dentist. This dentist had no problem deadening the tooth.
If they really thought blacks do not feel pain, they wouldn’t inflict it. You know what I mean?
@@timely1974 Yes, I do
We have rights, too. We can report & seek to have a dentist like that decertified & removed from practice. We as FBAs ought not to be afraid to assert our rights in these cases & situations.
Same situation happened to me, like why or what would be the reason for me to lie about feeling the pain as they're doing the procedure...🤔
It makes zero sense❗
I've been paying attention to how I'm treated when I go to the ER or hospital and there is definitely a difference, it's like we have to fight tooth and nail in order to receive proper service/treatment. It's like we almost gotta jump through hoops to receive the proper care.
If you had an infection/abscess you needed to be on antibiotic for a week to get rid of the infection before going for your procedure.
If the Endodontist didn’t prescribe the antibiotic, plus ibuprofen to get rid of the inflammation, you were going to resist the lidocaine.
If this doesn't fire your heart up to GIVE YOUR BLACK BUSINESSES A SECOND, THIRD AND ETERNAL CHANCE.
GET ON CODE.
AND STOP SHOPPING THRU A BULLETPROOF GLASS WINDOW 🧐
You still deal with it with your own business its every like he said it's a culture for them.
This sister is probably very pretty, and that makes the racism even worse.
It doesn't matter if she is pretty or not.
@@DreaDrea-bg2mu Yes it does!
Probably??
@@Comin4mine you don't know better then me.
Beloved brother, you are 150% right Ethiopian Airlines are the best. all Black Crew.
Indeed. Your airlines have impeccable service & skill. Ethiopian people in general are pleasant & intelligent & a joy to work with or for. Be blessed.
@@volitionspark2686 Give much thanks yes I.
I've traveled to Tanzania three times in 2021 each time I flew Ethiopian Airlines!
@@marydavis7978 And I know it was a good experience. no good Babylon always try to put Africa down. But the real good people knows better!
I want to thank that wonderful sister for sharing her story. You have to bring evil to light to combat it in some way.
This is why why i left America to Kenya for my own health calm mind. But we need more truth and keep bringing it to the light.
So thankful to have caught this. Seriously struggling with the anger and hate. The privilege is unreal. Thank you for sharing
Ethiopian Airline is hiring in Sterling, VA.
Really? I live in Sterling Va right by the airport
My youngest daughter classmate was going through as a flight attendant. She loved the job but quit after being picked on 3-4 years straight. Protect yourself out there Queens
The attendants have told me their stories. This is so true!
Great interview! Would love to hear more like it. "Behind the Scenes" Revealing the truths of racism in the workplace.
Exposing them will only force them to hide it better. Black folks need to accept this reality. Understanding who and what we are dealing with and operate accordingly. We must use the knowledge we learn to create our own Nation within a Nation.
It's the black Republicans that tell us racism don't effect us
Absolutely!!!! You will never get the respect until you create your own.
@Mavis SivaM and u push back by creating ur own
We need to leave this place period. When you live with a abusive partner do you stay with him or her abusing you or do you leave?
Right .....they haven't changed over 400+ years......they just hide it better.
Brilliant interview keep doing you sister stay strong stay blessed and stay black ✊🏿
I’m so glad to hear you speak highly of your experience on my country’s air carrier 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹 As a former FA I can agree that everything she stated are all experiences that I’ve personally had. The foolishness started affecting my personality and I left the industry. I would love to return home and fly for Ethiopian or another African air carrier.
Wow, I had no idea the things black flight attendants had to go through on the job. Thank you for bringing this up for our attention. The experiences I was hearing made me felt angry inside. I admire this flight attendant for being brave to share these experiences and I hope she will not get in trouble for coming forward.
This is no surprise too the majority of us. Totally builds Hatred in our hearts,but our seventh sense, Makes blks Above that ignorance and the Superior race,dealing with that cursed evil!!!
*Wow you sound extremely naive*
This is the story of AA lives, REPARATIONS NOW
Right. Muzungus somehow believe we are simply seeking reparations for slavery when there is nothing further from the truth. It is the systemic racism built into the country called America. The racism that goes unpunished.....This interview is just an example of what happens to blacks in everyday life.
B1💯💯💯💯
Wow. This whole thing is eyeopening. I am reminded of how white skin is an auto affirmative action program where you can skate through without being held to same standards or performance.
I loved this interview ❤ ♥ can't wait til the next one.
I work with Mexican at Sears warehouse in Houston and they were racist
100%
Because it's their country
@@76shian no. Mexico is their country.
Before they even jump on your skin tone. JUST Call ICE 📞🦅 to make sure the legality of that climping over the fence🧗🏽⚖️ case judged in provisional manner👨🏿⚖️
Some years back there was a story about a black Delta airlines flight attendant who got fired for having braids so this is nothing new at all unfortunately! 🙄😒👎🏾
@Mavis SivaM
My sentiments exactly! 👩🏻🦰👱🏻♀️🧑🏼🦰🌈🌈🌈🙄😒👎🏾

Absolutely sis! Right on!!! 💯🤜🏾🤛🏾👍🏾

The thing is with Delta, they don't have a union also. As a black person they're extremely difficult to work for!
I remember
Them folks che*t all through their existence. I see it in the medical field all the time
Absolutely true.
They been cheating since time begin
Amen!!! As a former healthcare worker, so true!!!
I never cheated in school. Now I am one of the best educators who gets death threats from competitors. But I also studied some law to show them their place.
@ Phil hi my brother, Please keep up with this is insane "I pray the black, ladies get together & do an class action lawsuit going much blessings too "Our amazing sister's 🙌💞
We need more meaningful conversations like this. 💯
Not all Africans like us either make them mad at you they will say you black people or say you people. Facts
There is a law Against hair discrimination. The airline can be sued
I think a UA flight attendant sued for discrimination about wearing natural hair or braids and won in the 80's if I am correct.
@Drea Drea2018 you are and now we wear braids dreads. Just neat...
What's wrong with Flight attendant wearing hair braids when they look neat. This is our heritage. Our native hairstyle. Who are they to say it's not proper because we all have to wear hairstyles looking like them.
What! United does not sanitize their plane.
@@jayisagem8depends who you work for. Certain companies have restrictions on length and have to be retrained.
Im with this sister. Im tired of taking the high road. I let their asses have it.
😬🤣😂🤣😂🤣😭😭😭🤣😂😭😭😭😇🥰🧚🏿♀️
Ok now….🤣🤣😂😂🤣
This was a really insightful episode! Listened to it a number of times.
It's really crazy that black women have to experience these kind of things because they're not a physical being like men.. I can't stand that I'm not there to protect black women
Definitely need our black brothers help 🙏🏽! Yah bless!
Hey phill you should have doctors and dentists black ones on every state register on your site somewhere so whoever is looking for such can find it bro! I appreciate the sister flight attendant for the love . Stay safe sis up there in the skies.
I was to good for AA (ran circles). Delta also hated me for that matter.. I’m top heap in the trucking business with a $300,000 salary now… ✌🏾😎
I actually enjoyed this ... As the guest got comfortable and her flow of speak became more US natural... This gave me an idea ... I'll reach out . Ty Philip Scott.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HONESTY, YOU WILL BE BLESSED FOR SHOWING US YOUR CARE AND CONCERN ABOUT THE MENTAL, EMOTIONAL, AND PHYSICAL HEALTH AND WELL BEING FOR AIRPLANE FLIGHT ATTENDANTS...
WE PRAY THAT YOU AND ALL OF OUR FLIGHT ATTENDANT''S WILL BE SAFE, THANK YOU FOR YOUR COURAGE, RESPECT, AND GOOD HEART....THINGS ARE GOING TO GET BETTER, SO MUCH BETTER THIS TIME AROUND..
Am so glad to hear this story, becauseI wanted to be a FA an now I know I've been in training before I have experience the same, I have a beautiful job that allows me to travel , the Most High have given me a beautiful Job, of travel.
Great interview. She is a throw back in time of women's personality and great conversation.
Phil stop describing her.. she's putting her livelihood on the line... protect her
I've been told about sexual harassment on the job, but will tell u about one of my experiences as a Nurse. I was told about a certain Doctor that liked to touch on the Nurses. White women tolerated this, didn't understand why. I remember this certain Doctor inappropriately touched me! I was shocked, was very young then. I didn't say a word, he knew what was up. I gave him a death stare because it was time to fight and he knew it!! He NEVER touched me again! Some people will accept Anything, but you 'Have' to say NO, and be ready to back it up!!
4get the stare down, u should have slapped the whiteness off of him, like many of you Sistas would have done if that doctor was black.
OMG!! On the one hand I'm sayin "I can't believe it!" Then again I'm not at all surprised. As a collective, we have to go after these airlines and boycott, petition, sue, do walk-outs, do staycations instead of vacations whatever it takes!
Good luck. Black people love flying to Punta Cana too much to give up the airlines
You are living on another planet. This will never happen and would be a complete waste of time. We are not a cohesive group. Never was and never will be. Are you kidding me?. Don't believe all that you are hearing. I have flown as a black man for 30 years international, and have not experienced half of what she is talking about. Why do people always bite the hands that feeds them? And Yet she gives not indication of quitting this job. Pure unnecessary hysteria.
Great to hv this video out. Even b4 covid, I hv been bringing my own wipes n disinfecting my whole sitting area,,, armrests, seats, backrest, headrest, seat monitors, folding tables, u get the picture??? Being West Indian, we r vry ticklish about cleanliness.
I feel sorry for this beautiful sister, I hope things work out in her favor
"The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will HATE those that tell it!!!."
🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯❗❗❗❗❗❗❗
I like that! Profound statement!
There really needs to be a network of therapy garnered specifically for us, due to the unique trauma we endure. It's necessary.
Yes. As an extracurricular I took a class called Black Psychology in college. I was blessed that it was even offered. I learned many lessons. There are also courses in Jewish Psychology & other cultures too.
Dr. Francis Cress-Welsing offered this back in 2010.
This example is pretty much an example of the entire country.
We need to put these companies on blast for their bull and call them out.
Also, stop giving them your money as a collective. Spend your money with your own family, support and uplift them. Help your family create, produce and thrive......the energy needs to be exerted in your own family....just like other people do and have done since the beginning of time.
With $200m an airline can take off. Black America had $1.5T in spending power. There should be crowdfunding to fund this and folks can buy stakes.
Agree 100%
James Baldwin's famous statement.
I DON'T KNOW YOU PERSONALLY BUT I DO KNOW YOU HISTORICALLY.
Remember that people.
Nailed it.❤❤❤
Mic drop
Thank you Phil and & guest for sharing this information about the airlines, flight attendant is one of my dream jobs wow! You gave a mouth full
You might want to reconsider this, for your own self worth.
Please tell her that whenever she's in the DFW area, she can see the following doctors and dentist:
Internist: Dr Cecil Bailey M.D - Cedar Hill, TX
Gynecologist: Dr De Shawndranique Gray M.D. - Dallas, TX
Dentist: Dr Saosat Stafford DDS - Dallas, TX
WOW ! What a podcast? This has confirmed some of the theories I've had about flying.Thank you to the sista, I feel your pain and thank you also brotha Phil for a great podcast.
This is something that's always happened, it will not ever change!!!! Don't let it get to you, keep going!!!!
The same mentality permeates nursing and probably any other profession you can think of.
Create your own, for your own by your own!!!!!
Oh! I forgot .....and buy your own!
One last thing . . .
This is why THEY didn't want us to read . . .
We are the intelligent Ones!
Halleluyah!

And now they don't want our comments on social media,unless it's their way. We have too now do our comments in Code!
The part where she mentioned the Doctors makes me think. I'm in the middle of reading the Medical Apartheid. You better believe they think that we don't feel pain.
Just evilness UNFORTUNATELY
Great discussion. Enlightening and disturbing. I applaud our sister for sharing her experiences. Thanks, Phil, for having her on.
This is still going on today and will keep going on as long as you live among the ones who hate you...there is a great change is coming and the privileged ones will not be privileged any more....
Great video coverage Philip and Great interview good history lesson knowledgeable enlightenment
I wanna write a book or start a weekly podcast with the focus on being black in Corporate America! I know this is going to be very interesting with a ton of input!

I don't think there is. I've looked for that on here and can't find it. Do you mind sharing any of your social media IDs or your email address and then delete it right after I see them?
I'm interested.
Wow! Interesting interview! Sleeping with a captain can lead to upward mobility within the company??? That is truly a lawsuit! Domestic violence??? Flight attendants are "minions"??? I would be with civil rights attorneys vs this podcast. I have 33 years with the company where I work, discrimination/racism is definitely an issue. Policies regarding hair have been changed iver the years. .I have seen an increase moreso post covid. I really hate that United is not cleaning cabins and disinfecting. On our aircraft hazmat is standard equipment. I truly recommend wearing shoes on the aircraft. In most hubs, the coffee makers are brought in clean. I totally agree with coffee packs. Fingers touch the packs- it's real...
My experiences are different as I am an international flight attendant. Not a fan of domestic flights. Americans are my least desirable group to work with. I work trips based on cities. My preference is to not go to cities in certain states, if I must.
I truly would leave the company if I felt that I was not valued. You deserve better.
This interview gives new meaning to flying high in the friendly skies!
Thanks sista for all the great precautionary measures.
This goes on in nursing school ppl don't speak a lick of English but breezing through school like nothing
Thanks Bro that was a very informative interview.
Thank you beautiful African American sister.
Thank you for sharing this invaluable information that I did not know until now. Please continue to share this info with the world 🌎 Sis, Thank you for your courage💗 Thank you for educating the public about the hostile work environments that BFA and all of us face on a daily basis. I pray for your strength, peace and protection for you and all our people who are still in the clutches of systemic racism. Racism, and institutional hatred needs to be abolished once and for all 💯
A pilot is going to get the benefit of the doubt more times than not especially over a flight attendant. Fight attendants come a dime a dozen 🤷♂️ pilots have to have so much training and other things that other groups don't
Those pilots need to be called out by name. Don't want to fly with a WS BEHIND the wheel.
May you be alright working as a flight attendant. Thanks for sharing. Really appreciate you telling your story.
Was a flight attendent for two airlines in the early 80's. Based in (PHX), (LAS), (MCO). There were very few straight Black Men flying back then. It was a open Racism and they would fire Black People for the slightest offense. It was though, a fun, fun, life. I was the only Black Man in two classes of flight attendants (50 people) and had no trouble learning the aircraft we had to be certified on, as I passed with at a 95% rate. She's right, the white folks brought drugs to training, I was amazed. I left after 6 years, went to flight school at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona, then graduated from law school. Oh, BTW: I was fired from both flight attendant jobs......LOL Also, ALL MY DOCTOR'S ARE BLACK!!!!
Hi , Mr Phillip, and everyone else Moniee-Mon, is listening thanks 😊 🙏
Exact same experience I had on the railroad. It is ridiculous.
Good for her! She pointed out so much that is wrong but ignored in the airline industry and others. More of us need to have the courage to speak up. There is nothing noble about suffering in silence. We teach folks how to treat us. Time to start teaching new lessons. Join voices, be loud and hold folks accountable!!!
I would like to get an update from this black professional to see if United Airlines retaliated against her.
Wow this was so interesting! I used to want to be a flight attendant, maybe I’ll just stay in the nursing field😥
I always wanted too be an Actress and Flight Attendant. I'm so blessed I miss the racists bs for both occupations. Some disappointments in the work field are a "Blessing in Disguise"!
Good idea.
Don't quick. Flight attendant income is average. Very low. If you passionate to be a flight attendant do it for the lifestyle, you could barely make 30k a year.
United should be put on blast
I, remember being in my 20s, expressing to my mother, that I wanted to be a flight attendant. She told me, no way. Instead of asking her why, I simply heeded, her words, and, didn't become one. So happy I took her advice.
I agree but she should’ve told you the reasons.
I'm glad I work with a company that hires many people who look like me.
