Just stumbled onto your channel and aspire to be as happy and as joyful as you look! I am looking into becoming a flight attendant and I’m glad your day went well!
This is so sweet - thanks so much 😊
I just happen to come across your vlog! Awesome! Your spirit is wonderful.
The nails! 🫣
I could feel the joy radiating through the screen! So happy for you 💞
I'm so happy you felt that through the video. I was SO happy ❤️❤️❤️
Michelle, this is an amazing video of your number one day as a lien holder. I loved it! It had a wonderful ending!
Glad your first week went well!!
Me too! Thanks love 🥰
Loving the longer video💓
Thanks for this feedback! I appreciate it☺️
Really, really enjoyed this video and so very happy you are based in Chicago!!! Wonderful!!!
Thanks so much!!
Happy for you on your first Chicago flights went well. Had to laugh when you stopped in Minesota. It may get that cold in Chicago too! All the best!! 👍✈
Haha it was SO cold 🥶 but overall, an amazing week for me being ORD based 😁
I always look forward to your videos. You are so happy, grateful, and give a lot to UA. Your videos always brighten me up. As I live in Las Vegas, it would be unusual to meet you at ORD, but maybe PHX because I also fly AA as well as UA.
This is so sweet, thank you! Yes, maybe I'll see you around PHX - I commute on AA often 😊
It was amazing meeting you! I was so tired but happy we got to connect for a bit 😊✈️
Thanks for saying hi 🥹 hope to see you around the base soon!
How exciting that you're getting recognized!
It's so exciting and surprising haha! Thanks 😁
You are adorable!!
Thank you!
As a line holder now, you bid on the routes you want with days work/off you desire? Knowing what days and flights you will work, so you can commute on a known basis and be ready to work and know when you will be off. (hope this makes sense?)
I try to bid for days off! I'm not senior enough to hold any real good trips I want, so I focus on position bidding and days off
lol my first month as a line holder had me overnighting at home three times (out of five trips) plus another night that I was in a different city than I was supposed to be in. glad to see it's not just me but also that it worked out so well for you! I hope you get lots of great and new experiences in ORD!
Love that for us haha! Thank you 😊
What a great first work experience!!! I know your gonna love being bas3d out of Chicago. Thanks for taking us along....travel safe my friend
Thanks so much🤗
How to become an flight attendant?What are the requirements to become a stewardess in America? Is university required? I am 17 years old, help me😞
Im glad to see your transition to ORD is working out for you. how is the commute within the city?
Commute within the city is good! My crashpad is close off the blue line, so it's a pretty easy commute. It takes about 25-30 min in total which is really nice.
@@MichelleHayashida I bet you will miss driving your car
Thanks for your first vlog being based in ORD. Fly and stay safe. Ciao. 2023.
Thanks for watching! 😄
One of the many atmospheric rivers coming through the Bay Area.....
What it the typical pay scale for a flight attendant based on title, tenure, and seniority level?
It's different for every airline. Most all contracts for unionized FAs are public so you can actually search the pay scale for a specific airline to know 😊 for my airline, you get yearly raises until you reach "top out" pay (13 years for my airline)
Does United still offer Chicago as a base option?
It is not currently being offered to new hires in training, but that can change monthly!
How soon did you get a line after training?
I had a line 1.5 years in pre-pandemic, but after Covid I was back on reserve. It took me until I was 4.5 years senior to get a line again! It really depends on your base though, and I was in a pretty senior base before I transferred to ORD.
I’m really wanting to become a flight attendant! I’m currently in college and I want to travel instead of being in a office my whole life, I heard you mention your husband does your job cause a strain or drifting in your relationship?
I do have a husband! It takes a lot of work & communication, but all relationships do🥰 it's important to have a partner you trust and who is supportive of the career!
The job has definitely made it an unconventional relationship at times, but ultimately we make it work & it works for us!
Awesome.
Thanks!
Holy crud - totally forgot WN started service to ORD - did you get lucky to commute on WN to ORD? well, I guess not lucky, but in your last video when i commented on extra chances for commuting, i was only thinking UA and AA - now add WN to the mix, you should be able to find a flight almost anytime.
I know there's more flights a day between ORD & PHX than SFO & PHX! 😮 it's a long commute but I love how many options I have!
What made you become a FA? did you do a job before this? I graduated college recently and don't know if corporate job is for me but becoming a FA is a risk for me as well cause it may not work out. Just want to hear others stories.
I applied to be a FA because I wanted to travel but didn't have any money HAHA. I was in my senior year of college when I applied so I never had any real job other than being a student. It's the best job ever! It's just not for everyone and it's so worth a try. It is a risk, but anything worth it is risky in some way. ❤️
@Michelle hey I got a CJO with United!!! I unfortunately bombed the speaker test so ot sure if they'll move me forward now :/ but I can reapply. Since pay is bad the first year or two can you make a video on tips on how to save?
It would be amazing to see you and meet you! My wife and I will keep an eye out for you!
I would love that!
Keep up the good work
Thank you!
How did it feel laying over in a city you use to "live" in SFO?
It's a little sad to be honest! It feels like coming home but...it's not the same? I don't regret the decision at all though ❤️
How often do you fly international?
Really depends on the season, my schedule for that month & how much I feel like working. In April I didn't fly any international trips but in July half my trips were international.
hello internet using people
Would you ever consider IAH or DEN?
I've considered them both but ultimately decided against it for now & for the near future because my seniority & living is better in SFO. And their flying is majority domestic with not as high of chances of getting intl.
Hi
Wow is your hair long 👍
It is! I've been meaning to get a trim soon 😅
How are you Banyuwangi Indonesia Romi 💘🇮🇩
