      @aaaaaa-dv5fv Před rokem +3

      Greece is kind of nice if you have money, because for most Greeks it's bad, really bad, staying with parents til 40's. Of course some people make it, but basically islands are wealthier and kind of a show for tourists, if you visit a big town in winter everything has pee, abandoned buildings, many people can't afford heating. I used to live in Santorini, whenever I would visit Athens it was clear how people seemed tired, trapped in the rat race. Of course Greece has good parts too.

    I've always wanted to be cabin crew since I was 10. But as a teen I faced a terrible acne phase which had left atrophic scars on my cheek. I like to think I have a pretty smile but what people see is my scars. I got rejected from my domestic air line, Qatar and Etihad for this reason because make up can't fully cover it. I became a health care practitioner instead. I have what it takes to be a cabin crew, I am very much of a night owl doing 6-9, 32 hour shifts a month, working total of 300-350 hours a month. I am good with people. But sometimes there are people who are made to do the job but wouldn't be given a chance because the face is not pretty enough. I haven't even tried with Emirates knowing their grooming standards are so high.
    No offence to you darling. You are absolutely right when you say how exhausting it can get. Good luck with the next chapter of your life.

    I appreciate your honesty! You pointed out everything you could and painted a solid picture of the experience here.
    This job was always a dream job of mine since i was an 8 year old kid😂. But omg , I'm now 26 and Living this lifestyle really seems exhausting. Maybe in the very early twenties for a year or two would be ok to build a life abroad and travel and live the whole luxurious experience. But as you pointed, it's not a long term job , it's definitely exhausting and doing it for long stunts your growth and your skills are limited to the job and that's it. So it's definitely good to realise that earlier and develop the skills after you've had your fun.
    you made me realise this job at my age , where I'm looking for stability and comfort and building meaningful lifestyle and habits and connections, won't work.
    I think I'm past being able to live this adventure😅. I hope i get to live another adventure and travel through my future career 🙏🏽💖
    Wish you best of luck girlie ❤

    A family member is thinking of leaving a small US airline to apply with Emirates. They may not get paid well for small airlines here in the US but the benefits comparative to what you’re saying here in this video are much better. More ideas on what it’s like to live in housing in Dubai would greatly be appreciated and then how you had a pet and could you take your pet back home with you ? Thanks for all you. Hope you’re enjoying your new job.

    Hey girl, first thank you for sharing this video. But i am not agree with you, in any job you can not expect to be "family" with your colleagues because it's your job only that's it, and all of them are your competitors. Almost 6years I'm in office job trust me it's also crazy. From 9am untill 6pm you're at the office and doing the same things. This is same for all jobs unfortunately. Beceuse all jobs becomes routine after 6-7 month (some of them even earlier😅)
    So I think being cabin crew at least you have adventures, you can not travel that much with your office job salary. Of course every job has benefits and side effects let's say:)))
    But I don't think office job is a good option tho 😒

    So, being in a company for that long as a cabin crew means that you have an issue?! That's dedication and hard work that led them to stay that long, unlike many people like u, Don’t seek hard work, and prefer to do an easier job with less pay check. I believe that you have issues, honey. I'm a cabin crew, and I manage my sleep and diet very well, so you have to plan better. You know what's depressing? An office job in the same location every time working 9-5 with the same people. I can see why you're complaining. You've never worked a 9-5 job for a long time because otherwise, you would have a different opinion about it.

    Συγχαρητήρια για την εμπειρία. Έχω μερικές απορίες:
    1) Στην Ελλάδα κάθε πότε ερχόσουν; Έχω διαβάσει κάτι περί άδειας 30 ημερών 1 φορά τον χρόνο. Αλλά πέρα από αυτό ερχόσουν;
    2)Περίπου κατά μεσο όρο ποσα day off ειχες;
    2)Εαν για κάποιο λόγο αποχωρήσεις πριν τα 3 χρόνια. Ποιά επίπτωση έχεις; Πχ στην Aegean αν σπάσεις την σύμβαση πληρώνεις 800€.
    3)Ο μισθός λένε είναι στα 2400€ - 2700€ έχω ακούσει. Ισχύει; Ξέρω ναι ότι είναι κυμαινόμενο αναλογα τις ώρες πτήσεις. Αλλά ας πούμε το λιγότερο που χει τύχει να βγάλεις ποσό ήταν;
