2. Enjoy the 5 mins you saved.
i did that and my word, you're a life saver
He sure knows how to drain people's energy. Some people LOVE the sound of their own voice!!!
Some heros don’t wear capes, and you Jake Harrison are a hero!
Thank you!
It works well for me at 1.75 speed
I've never been a flight attendant, but I've been binge-watching a lot of these videos. And yes, I came to the same conclusion: it's a different country and different culture and not everyone is made for this job.
This by far, was the best video about leaving Emirates. It is true that there is no such thing as a perfect job. ALL jobs really have the positives and the negatives. It just depends which side you dwell into. If you're happy, good for you. If not, then leave and move on with your life. Admit it or not, one way or the other it's still a job that helped you somehow to see the good in the bad like if you learned to surpass the difficult times, improve your character and traits as a person, get your bills paid on time and make a living. There is no point in being too bitter in a job that you once dreamed of and pursued for yourself. Happiness cannot be found solely in any company or landing this or that kind of job. It starts with yourself on how you perceive both the good and the bad in all things.
I like your mentality, you’re not scared of changes, good for you! I wish you all the best for your future!!
I used to be when I was younger but I realised that life is short and there is no set path. We must go where life takes us and try to do what makes us happy, because one day we wont be here anymore.
You are a man so maybe you did not deal with the curfews, pregancy ban, sexualization, clients' sexual advances, make up reapplication rules the way female cabin crew do
It's true that males may not experience the same kinds of things the female crew have to go through, escpecially with sexual advances and make up rules. However, there is no curfew at Emirates. From what I hear, this kind of opression is much more commonplace at another big middle east airline.
EXACTLY! As a man you did not have to suffer the burden women have to suffer, so your video.... useless and stupid
+RandomPower you're correct. The rules are different for men. Two girls I know who got hired to work on the same cruise ship they had to report to their agency's office and stay there along with eight other women who got hired for about six weeks. They did a pregnancy test every week. A man could have gotten hired but he could go out and get a woman pregnant and the rules don't apply to him. Then one of the girls wrote me to say that the work got so difficult because two of the girls from their batch had to leave the ship. One got sick and the other one got pregnant. This was nearly a year after they left. She told me as soon as they started working on the ship some of the men were pressuring them, especially the younger girl who was 22-year old at the time to have sex. So I told her the only way that girl got pregnant was from a man on the ship she met. So now she is kicked off the ship going back to her country where they barely got any decent jobs just because she fell for bs from some man on the ship. So there are different rules for women.
+Dudu Yxl correct. I was speaking last night to a former flight attendant for Etihad. airlines she said if a passenger filed a complaint against a flight attendant that is grounds to be fired. They have lots of strict rules. Once the flight attendant passes 35 and over 40 they are removed from the flight service and put on ground crew. One has to be able to put themselves in the shoes of a woman to understand what their experiences are like.
Pregnancy ban? Doesn’t every job have a pregnancy ban? Doesn’t that go without saying?
I worked on cruise ships with the same idea of travelling, the experience and saving money. Then, I moved on with my life.
Did u saved money or not ?? Now whatt work do u do?
@@purudc8105 It depends on what you want to do. In my case, coming from Chile, the money they paid me it was good enough. In the beginning I wanted to save money to pay for a second career. Then, I met my husband onboard, who was working in restaurant like me, and I used the money to move to Hungary. So we lived from that money long enough until I got my residence. Now we live in the UK and my husband studied refrigeration and air conditioning and I work in customer service (call centre). The point for me was that I was never able to travel before I joined the cruise ship company and I wanted to use my English as well. It has its negatives of course such as not having actual days off (I worked restaurant and then, bar), but I had the chance to be in places like Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Canada.
Germania Osorio y hace cuánto tiempo fue eso? Que crucero? Por cierto, hasta qué edad se puede trabajar en un crucero? Supongo que si llegas a cumplir cierta edad te despiden...
Me alegro por Ud. La situación en Chile está complicada, incluso si eres profesional

Thank your for your very honest assessment of what working for Emirates has meant to you. I look forward to seeing where life will take you from here. I'll definitely stick around. Much continued success to you.
Great video. I completely agree, i don't like it when people complain about things that were obvious from the start. They should know what they're signing up for and that's it.
Thank you all so much for your kind comments!
Dl, did you have to be vaccinated in order to work for emirates? Or did they just test your health and the vaccines done in childhood were enough? Can you tell me more about it? Thanks for your sharing...
Hey, yeah, it's both. They will check your health, but you also need to be fully vaccinated before you come. There is a list they give you of vaccines you need to get. You can actually get most of them after you join, but it's easier and probably better to get before you come. The one you MUST get BEFORE you arrive is yellow fever. The others are pretty standard...typhoid, hepatitis, tetanus/diphtheria etc...
Thanks for the response that help me a lot. I am now convinced I am not going to apply for sure. I have the standard vaccination done when child, but I do not have yellow fever, also I have been reading vaccines can cause autoimune disease. And in cog for life website you can check the hepatite B and hepA and measles mump and rubeolla are made with WI-38 or MCR-5 which are cell lines from aborted babies' organs... It is shoking, even though yellow fever is from a chicken embrio, and I am not going to have none of them done. Thanks bro
Why do you talk so slow?
Btw, does this affect your job references. You mentioned that they could pretty much do anything such as 'fire you for whatever reason', does that mean they could also give you a bad feedback to for leaving them?
you left the job 🧐🤔 but i saw your ghost on emirates at flight ek801 2019 anyway That's positive video about emirates airlane i live there in dubai with my kids and my wife its so kind people ......and nice
indeed me too i saw him
This is like a slow motion video
Hahaha
For what u heard most Americans and Europeans ... leave the Job .. they can’t take the culture changes .
I totally agree with you. I'm the one who left Emirates, too. I enjoyed the flight for 9 yrs with EK but living in Dubai was tough.
This is the most logical speech I have ever seen on CZcams. Thanks you very much for that. I am a flight attendant in a private jet company, who considers to apply to emirates I was freaked out. Thanks a lot !
My compliments, I have been a purser for 30 years and appreciate how you talk about the job, in such a mature talk. Wish you the best!
Life is all about mooving forward. Wise words . All the best
I've almost slept.
Me too 😭
i watching your video you said i quit but , many people saw you on emirates you are quit or you back to work with them Another question:Are they hiring nationality a French example of Polish origin and whether English language is required? and thanks alot
I appreciate your positive view on life, as a woman with many life experiences also what you say is so TRUE. So wonderful you are and have lived your life doing as I did not just reading about it in a book. Kudos to you my friend. All the best in your future endeavors.
everything you said is such an inspiration...the world is still ahead you...best of luck to your future endevours!
Best video ever...totally unbiased and so true. Having worked myself for Emirates for 6 years I enjoyed every moment of it and when it was the time to leave it was the time
Your video is realistic and rational, we wish you the best!
7:22 - 7:35 is a good learning point. Life is about moving on and when you get comfortable somewhere you stop moving.
Thanks for sharing your view in such a down-to-earth and unbiased way! We need more videos like this one. =) That's it ... life is a journey and if you get stuck, it's time to move!
Its sad to know that you are not part of emirates any more, but i respect your decision, wishing you success..🤗
Thank you!
How can a person's experience not be true? To be fair the high turnover of staff is evidence enough. That said I assume if has a very good side like all jobs.
Great video! Good luck with everything after resigning! 😊
Man i really appreciate this video, your attitude must be an example for everyone. Congrats for the tips you gave us. I wish you the best career, you deserve it!
Also, shitting on the company seems really easy for everyone, i am truly glad you did not do it.
Cheers! ;)
This guy’s so positive but he’s so under ratedddddd ps you made me smile (on a depressing Sunday) with the travel videos
Finally an honest review about dropping out.I really loved the end with the experience you’ve had,but overall good luck finding your new thing 😍
Finally an honest review? I've binge-watched a lot of them and they were all honest. Personal experience varies and just because one had better experience than the other doesn't mean the other one was not honest. It's a lot about personal attitude, I agree on that one. But it also depends if you're a guy or a woman.
@@senkasi.4950 Exactly.
I’m glad you remember me still, and hope shuyao is not jealous about me any more haha.. see I can still recall this it was nice fun surprise to me! well keep contact and let me know when you come to China, dinner is on me!

hahahaha yeh you good notice 😂
I worked in the Gulf (not in the airline business) and quickly realised it isnt the real world ! However once I got to the bottom of what not to do and to avoid, it was quite pleasurable as a European. Although one observation I would make is he is speaking as a male, and things are a bit different for females in the Gulf...
Is this guy the slowest talker on YT? 😃😃😃
HAHAHA!!! I might be!
Jonnie Bangkok Darling, get down from the throne that nobody put you on, the world doesn’t rotate around you and when YOU need faster speaking, YOU can speed it up in the video sittings instead of redirect a whole human being. I don’t care that you are “just” joking and I am not as salty as I sound. ❤️
Jonnie Bangkok I like that I could understand every single word
All the best to you. Thanks for being so positive.
Thank you. I appreciate it!
Cool video, very honest. wish you all the best! 👍
Got about 2 minutes in and couldn't take it. So everyone else is untruthful, I find that hard to believe, just saying.
I think his point is that everyone has a different experience while there..people know what they are getting into so why moan when it turns out exactly how they are told it would.
Watch this in playback speed 1.25. Saves you time.
Can't wait for new video!
Okay i really enjoyed watching this video after watching many negative videos of people complains i really comfortable now ،you are so Honest person people can't get that life is not perfect there's bad side and good side every job in this world has the bad aspect and good aspect but cabin Crew Job is very special and it has many benefits i see that Emirates give the crew the treatment that they deserve and more to make them forget their r exhaustement but they don't appreciate that i still love this job and i wanna apply for ♥️
I'm happy to hear that!
Very honest opinion and feed back I really appreciate 👌🏻
I like the sincerity from yours!! I really appreciate it!!! beacuse I do want to enter to emirates, and im working so hard to get the job!!! Thanks!!! I really wish you have fun in your new life chapater!!! greets from Ecuador
But most of the fly attendants who complain about Emirates are women or black people in particular not men nor white people. In UAE women are treated differently from men so, definitely experiences differ.
The title is quite arrogant. You make a video that’s been made so many time as if you’re better than everyone and you go as far as dismissing their feeling? You’re a white male from UK/Ireland I assume so let’s just say the experience you had will differ from many others. I’ve been in UAE for much longer and though I may not agree with all the approaches, many points raise in other video were valid. You just made half of your video bashing others... There are a lot a very good benefits but it is true there are many downsides that won’t be listed on their website and many people join for that reason. It’s great those videos are there so people won’t come and spoiled others’ experience. But you can’t deny it is true that employees don’t have a word and are quite restricted which people translate as slave labor, there is systemic racism, sexist rules, reporting culture, no freedom of speech and much more and it’s only fair for it to be highlighted if someone feels like.
Such a long video just to say in a matter of few seconds you left because you can’t have a family here and oh you felt too comfortable? Well not everyone’s has the possibility to leave before having a family because of commitments and it is a challenge has there is next to no support if you are pregnant such as if it happens when your husband is not in UAE, you won’t get living out allowance but you need to have a tenancy contract if you want to sponsor him plus the company will freeze your salary once you declare it. You face being reported if you go to the hospital. Only pursers have a better package. Things changed over the years and it’s rather arrogant and dismissive to say that because you stayed four years and longer than few others your simplistic opinion is more valid. I don’t know anyone personally nor I’ve met any of those who has made a YT video about Emirates, but even though I still very much enjoy my job, I’ve learn not to judge others feelings as they’ve had a different experience which others can relate to.
Yeah, what a fucking stupid extroverted guy. Never in my life have I heard such a stupid statement as "I left because I'd felt too comfortable". What???
It's like saying, "I left my wife because she'd been too good for me". LOL!
thank you so much for this amazing video i appreciate the precious sincere information you gave us
This is hands down the best (why I left emirates) video I’ve ever seen on CZcams so far💖💖💖 your reasons are very logical and normal and I love that as you said you’re not bitter about anything, and also I can totally relate to what you said about opinions and freedom of speech because Emirates is a country that’s relatively still conservative even with all the development and progress and wealth that it has. And I have to say you’re very handsome and good looking 😊💖❤️🌹 I’m definitely going to subscribe to you🥰
Hola, Ex QR cabin crew here, from Latin America, country below Panama above Brazil, Land of Maluma and Shakira, guess where? :) Hope you had an amazing experience flying with Latinos bro I remember my days in the accommodation in Doha,I wanted to try Emirates but they dont do any oprn days in my country All what you say is true, very welcome to my country sadly I didn't have the chance to fly again, hope my nationality didn't give you any headache, all the best in your life, feeling blessed
Great video. Thanks for insight. 🙂
I love the way you talk. Btw I want to apply for this job as a flight attendant. Hopefully they will hire me
Thank You! Also, good luck!
@@danonthisplanet good luck to you too! I followed your Instagram 😄
Me too
this is the different between woman and man when they talk about experience and why they quit...eventhough the video not attractive no editing skills..but this is the most good video ever ive watched
This was so helpful to watch. I’m wishing to apply for emirates this year hopefully they have some open positions I live in Birmingham in the uk I’m not worried about leaving home I’m 20 and ready for some new adventures so fingers crossed I get in 🤞🏼
All the best for you .Most people like me never quit our jobs becouse of the fear of the unknown.
Fired for having a loud voice? But aren't they a benefit so passengers can understand what the cabin staff are saying? That's bullshit! Why should Emirates set that up like this
Glad you gave your honest and positive opinion on Emirates
Such an honest video. Very informative. Thank you and Good luck to your future endeavours 💕💕💕💪
I like the way different country, different rules ,you have to accept, if not you have to move on 😏, but if you came to UK, you have to be accepted with your heritage ,with your religion ECT,,if not you are discriminated people 😏😋....how come we have to accept them,but they are not accepting others🤔🤨,interesting, just saying🤔
He looks like Christian Grey from Fifty shades of grey
Try 1.25 speed
I did, bruh. lol 🤭
Having flown as a passenger i really do feel sorry for flying attendants you guys really work hard and do a great job.
Hey nice to see you here, I flew with you before, and I left Emirates as well. Are you back in UK? Can see Shuyao in your video 😉
Oh really? How are you doing? Did you go back to Korea? Yeah, I'm back in the UK now to study! You noticed Shuyao, haha!
Are you guys back together? I know she is studying in UK as well haha.. I am considering moving back to China. I am purser Jin Korean-chinese don't know if you remember, we had a good chat during the flight. Anyway, wish you well in UK!
Yes! Of course I remember you! How could I forget you? Haha! Wow, I cant believe you left! I wish you all the best for the future. No, we arent back together. I'm hoping to move to China or Korea in the future.
How could you work with him hard working with different cultures Australian New Zealand I tend to stick to
Hyunhee kim
hahah ya dan his my boyfriend and baby 😘😘
Please make a video on , " What all things we can do after retirement/leaving cabin crew job "
I quit two months later different airlines but I know what you are talking about
Thanks for share your experience and you are right any job is perfect.
why you don’t go to Ryanair where there is no accommodation pay, no transportation. no medical insurances , low salary?!!!
Thanks. I am think about it. My dream is to see the world.
Hi. Many Emirates cabin crew are talking about salary. ......but all are saying various things. ....you seems to be honest and so kind.....can you give me some numbers please? How much is the basic salary? How much is per hour - economy class. How many hours did you fly in a month...generally. .....We are talking about the new ones....
not to good why Emirates like these, it's weird, I don't like these airlines I think outside is good but not inside..
good video my mate 👍🏻
DLTezz, nice video. I'm going to a open day next week in London. Any tips? Thanks.
Hi sir!i really like your video. ❤
Thankyou for sharing this :)
The title says ' why I quit emirates' and he spent the first 8 mins talking nonsense. You would be a punish to work with
If you don't like, then don't watch. Simple. Surely better than writing mean comments like an asshole on peoples videos.
Hi I wanna ask you about accommodation how was it?
And is living there safe?
Yh very safe
The police drive Lamborghinis bro
Is the ‘lot of days off’ thing still true lol?
If anyone can let me know I’d appreciate it, cos I’ve heard it’s not.
My question is does Emirates provide a pension scheme for all that time you worked there?
Dude.... you must be missing these moments... I know i was there... I had the same feeling before i left... But looking backwards i feel i have left an unfinished business.... It keeps me bothering every single day....
Great video,
Would recommend being a flight attendant to someone that has hypersensitivity, emotional/mental imbalances and anxiety?
I wouldn't..It's for skin tough people, outgoing and with a "Don't take nothing personal " attitude
They kicked you out a dog tail is always not straight
I had to put the speed to 1.25
How much Qatar pay? Is it better Emirates?
By the way until what age cabin crew can work there? (I think when you're reach 48 they kick you out)
And can u go around the city or it's all controlled (where u go, curfew, others)?
qatar emirates and etihad offer similar packages. you will earn as a new crew in economy class approx 2600 usd, depends how many flying hours you do. Accommodation is free but you will share with 1 or 2 crew. if u r married, u get live out allowance based on your grade. contracts are for 3 years and are not renewed automatically. Renewal is based on your performance. retirement age is 60 but very few stay until such an age. Its too tiring to stay that long.
I love flying with emirates but i’ve seen so many of these videos!
You're quite easy on the eye aren't you! [lick, slurp, fondle]. Not sure I'm doing this for the right reasons, but I've liked and subscribed.
I don't know if it's only me but don't you think he looks exactly like choi siwon from superjunior?
Bro try to speak a little bit faster hahaha but really nice contents!!! And I will try to aply for emirates cabin crew !!! Thank u so much for all opinions !!
hello dani but you still working attendant at emirates yup or nope ????
Omg... this took me back to high school, and the teachers that put me to sleep
Nobody forced you to watch? :)
Learnt nothing at all.....
I totally agree with you...useless video..doesn't change my mind...I wouldn't work for this airline..
Probably you just quit it to let me see your vid and ask u to please get marry with me👻
🤣🤣🤣
😜😜😜😜😜
Marry me daddy 😩 Glad that you are quitting your job and moving forward!
🌷
It still from non negative videos, an airline that gas about a 3-5 year burn out period. It may be a high end airline, but not very many employees stay there very long. Muslim nation are very poor employers. All western people who are used to a free country , will struggle or not handle a Muslim country.
It sounds like servatude. You sign up for 3 tears if servatude. Some can handle it most cannot.
Hye, I have a question, is it fine for a male cabin crew to have cabin crew? Because I have acne scars in both of cheeks and it bothers me a lot 😔
Hey! nice to know the experience... but i would liek to know your opinion, since am working for low coast airline we dont really travel around the world. however the autmoshpere is amazing. we have no pressure and u fill relaxed at work. u dont think that _ohh gosh am going for flight tmrw.. i wanna be home and rest/sleep..... so its very comfortable and you dont feel like your working. no stress!.......... i would like to join EK only for layovers, not for salaries or other benefits.. only laoyver.. what would u suggest? sometimes i think u dont get time guys to explore around.. and then i think maybe i can be happy ay my airline and go to travel on my money instead... of having stress in emirates ? ...
Thanks for your comment! Yeah, the atmosphere might be a little more strict at Emirates, but they do have very high standards, so that is to be expected. However, it's not always like that. You do have amazing, relaxed flights with awesome crew every now and again. The layovers are amazing. That is something I will definitely miss! That was the main reason I joined, to travel the world! I would say go for it if you are interested, you wont regret it. Why use your own money to travel when they can pay you to do it? Also, being in Dubai is a perfect location to visit many places on your days off or leave. Especially with the staff discount on tickets. We dont get a huge amount of time to explore on layovers, but I always found it to be okay to go out and do things. Also, you can go back to the same destination many times, so you can explore a different place on each visit. If you are interested, you should apply. Good Luck!
thanks for a quick reply :) :) bcz i met EK crews and one of them joined air arabia now, and my friend is in air arabia too. i was in duba i dont like the life there at all. I hate it!!! and asking EK crew why arabia ? he said " tired from long flights & doing same layovers and being monited by Seniors not to be reported and always having a feeling like ...i have work tmrw -_- ..and enjoying laoyvers yes..but only for like 5months... then it became normal to him, bcz same places, and now u start to feel the flights cz u always work standing. AND I KNOW HOW UR FEET R CRYING AFTER ......awr... he was with ek for 4y too like you :) and i asked my friend from Arabia to ask EK crew if i should join.... he said company is nice, but going only for layovers..like. i gonna spend some months now on interviews...and studying again.... and its all gonna waste time, and its better if i work another 2 months save this money and i can see the world same way but with no rush.... bcz my company pays me well, good discounts to travel the world...and am happy.. but only laoyvers ((( i feel lost to be honest. and i know the more people i ask n listen the more confused i will be.. =_= and when my friend meets other EK crew who resigned after 6months-1-3y they say "ur silly if u wanna have only layovers, bcz company is not only ab being strict to you.. it is somehow.. its just crew want to report for any reason..and well yeah, my friend also did a flight with EK and waiting to go to LAV she heard EK cc telling to other cc "u know that cc is taking rest" - " aha.. report her '' ..... so you always feel ur monitored n afraid to say smth or forget to smile and here we go. report -_
I think you should film a new video named,Why I am so HOT!
I felt sleepy while he was talking and couldn't focus on what he was saying, sorry bro.
I like your friend from Japan is he in Dubai?
Haha, yes, he's in Dubai!
Glade you giving them the benefit of the doubt but let's be honest that place is terrible stop it
Please mention the gay bars and hotels in Dubai ? Thank uuuu
Do they accept fresh graduate pilots
I'm in 4 minutes already .. so why did you leave? Stopped watching you rumble way to much without saying anything
Well I guess you won't find out. Mainly because 1. You are very rude and 2. You don't have the patience to sit through an 11 minute video.
Sir can you tell me the exact age that they hire people cause every time I see cabin crews they say they completed their higher secondary and went for interviews
I mean that they are 18+ and how could they join international airline when you're 18 cause in the official website airline said that candidates must be 21...
I seriously don't get this😑😑😑
Someone pls explain
You need to have completed at least a high school level of education, but the age they will hire you is 21.
But sir I have already completed by higher secondary at the age of 18 and now I m 19...
Do I have to wait until I'm 21?😐😕
And can you please tell another thing about this assessment day and about this open day??
Sir I literally have so many questions in my mind and I couldn't get any of them😭😭😭😭
I wish I have your no. For a while just to ask many questions about cabin crew😣
American is hiring😊
