    Flight attendants really do earn their money. It would kill me to get up in the middle of the night and you do it all the time. I have a lot of respect for your job. Thanks for all you do Francesco!❤️✈️

      No glamor. It’s a love hate relationship. Blogging has definitely given the average person a real perspective of how tough it is. However, I worked for b6. Minimal service compared to this mainline

      I wouldn't say they "earn" their money by simply waking up early. Lots of problems have to do that and get paid alot less, but FA's have to be very disciplined and punctual. I'll give them that

    I remember Miami's airport being huge. MIA had it's own miniature graveyard with Boeing 720s and 707s. My father worked at the industrial park where the aircrafts used to fly over. And does the expressway still run parallel to the runway? Very very nice. Please keep coming out with more vlogs!!

    That HotLogic is wonderful! Got one after seeing it featured in a few of your vlogs. My elderly parent was amazed with how well it reheated leftovers. Our hotel had a mini fridge but no microwave in room (had to go to lobby/rec area). HotLogic got restaurant leftovers toasty in 90 mins (full corningware casserole with rice, gailan, steamed bass). Parent had full belly while we went thru relatives wedding day festivities. Used HL during work trip, same stitch of mini fridge no microwave. Thx Francesco!

    Thank you for another excellent video. I love day in the life videos. I always thought that staff on flights would get free food, the same food as the passengers. This obviously isn't right as you bring meals from home (great work btw, I work in an office and am not even organised enough to do that) and put them in your food warmer at times :)

    That's weird to think that at 7:24 you were flying almost directly over me in Pinellas County (that's the entire landmass in view) and it looks like you're _directly_ above Clearwater Beach. You're mostly looking at the Gulf of Mexico to the right and all of the famous Florida beaches on the west coast, then a little corner of Tampa Bay on the far left.

    As one Francesco to another, it's quite cool to see what lifestyles other jobs bring to people.

Originally I wanted to check out the life of a flight attendant so its quite cool to see another Francesco has this job. Nice! :)

    @LMays-cu2hp Před rokem +7

    Thank you for sharing your trip. Yes, you showed that traffic on the expressway going into Miami. With me here in Chicago, it was nice seeing the traffic as our Blue Line train was running by all cars on the expressway. Yeah, I agree with you about working First Class or now some airlines call it Business Class. When I had to take the Leadership Training years ago to become a Purser, working the up there by myself I did like a lot. And then even while working on the old 747-400 or the 777, I would one senior F/A to work with me, it still felt nice. Finally, you made me laugh about eating in bed. I used to bring Ramon noodles, crackers, Wheat Thins and Star Kiss tuna packs. And I use to eat in bed. Hahaha!! Wow!! Us airline workers are cool people with a smile.😊

    Sailing on the Dream soon! We debated driving down to Miami the morning of since we both have to work the day before (Orlando) but now having second thoughts despite the fact that we will probably pay $200+ for a hotel room we won’t arrive at until maybe 10pm. Is the Doral /East airport area safe? It seems to be the most affordable at this point and maybe worth it so we don’t start out our 4 night cruise with lack of sleep and travel woes! Thanks!!!

    Started binge watching your videos! I have a question: I received a CJO with AA and was hoping to be based in their ATL satellite base (eventually even as a transfer) but at the f2f, they said that this base is rarely open to anyone? Do you know if being based there within six months to a year out of training would even be a possibility? It was the main reason I chose the airline and I really want to be a part of this company, but it may be too hard to commute to another base long-term and I just wanted to get your perspective. Thank you!

  • @mikesmigielski7273
    @mikesmigielski7273 Před rokem

    I saw on a prior video that you had a trip started out of FLL. Do you have the option do bid trips out of FLL? It would probably get you out of the traffic issues but the flying is probably not that great.
