Flight attendant

make more than a dozen flight trips annually. Flying may be fun and fast, but at that high altitude, the body has to acclimatize and adapt to a new environment. Frequent flyers experience jet lag and fatigue, side effects of the flight experience. While these two are the most common, flying carries other health risks. Failure to address these risks in the long term eventually makes your body vulnerable to a host of health complications. This article highlights these flight associated health…

Continental Airlines flight 1065 from New York to Mexico City. “Excuse me, Mrs. Flight-Attendant Lady, I do not think that I am able to sit in the Emergency Exit Row of this airplane.” They had told us to go ahead and speak up. She looks at me like I have to be crazy, like she’d never heard this before, she looks for missing arms and says “Why are you not able?” and I say, “Because I don’t really want that responsibility. I seriously believe that in the highly unlikely event that I, or anyone…

All of Rains life she has known her Genie as her guardian. Anything and everything Rain needed Genie was there, he was her “parents”. Rain didn’t recall much about her actual parents but she was told they had passed away when she was 3yrs old. Rain is now 15, she attends Bayside High School and comes home to her Genie, that’s normal life for her. Until now, everything is going in a downward spiral. Her grades were down, and Genie was not thrilled. As they argued over a algebra, Rain was furious…

In 2009, during Southwest Flight 2294 to Baltimore, a crack caused an aluminum panel to tear open midflight. This occurred at an altitude of over 30,000 feet. This created a hole on the top of the 737 aircraft near the area of the tail. Two years later, in 2011 there was another skin related midair incident with a Southwest flight. During Southwest Airlines Flight 812 as it was leaving Phoenix a crack caused an opening in an aluminum panel while…

Airline industries are on the cutting edge of human accomplishment. Just over a century ago the act of flight was something humans only conceptualized, moreover imagined what soaring through the air by way of a mechanical invention felt like. Technologies both hard and soft evolved with the invention of aircraft flight. Rapid expansion in the world’s technologies allowed for the act of flight to be possible in a relatively short time span of human history. Hard and soft technologies alike…

1. To become an amazing flight attendant, you must love aviation and flying. You can’t be a good flight attendant if you have a lousy attitude towards work. First, you are responsible for the safety of your passengers. This is the most important part of your job. Reassure safety and then provide other services. Also, you have to be industrious as you dedicate most of your time to this job because you may on call 24/7. In addition, you have to be attentive, caring, and understanding not only to…

Sue’s Employee Review Sue is a great worker, with a great attitude. Sue is part of the cleaning crew where she cleans the planes for Frontier airlines. What makes her so great at her job is that she is worked in a rush fashion. Not many people can do the work as fast and as quick as she does with a great spirit the entire time. I plan to prove that Sue is a great worker by: helping you understand her conditions and comparing her amount of work to the other competitors (airlines). Sue is in…

Manager. Sales Associate. Flight Attendant. Military soldier. One of these careers should stand above the others, yet somehow all these careers have the average annual pay grade of about $50,000 to $60,000, according to PayScale. Military soldiers are subjected to unfair treatment in regards to many factors that extend beyond just pay. They lack the availability of proper help and recognition after returning to civilian life after service. As a citizen, I am someone whose rights are being fought…

1. The Passenger “American Airlines, Flight 11. 9-11-2001. Economy Class, seat 32A. Boarding time: 7:45 A.M. Departing from Logan International Airport of Boston MA, Gate B32. Destination: Los Angeles, California.” I restlessly read my plane ticket over and over. It may seem as if it’s not a big deal. Just a boarding pass, right? But this isn’t just any flight. After being in Boston for almost two weeks, the homesickness is hardly bearable anymore. It’s almost been two weeks since I’ve seen my…

like I needed a break from all of this chaos here. I just need to get away from everything. So, the next morning I booked my flight to Jamaica. The sound of the wheels on my suitcase ringed in my ears. I can’t believe I’m finally getting to go. It seems like it was forever ago that I had booked my flight when it was only last week. As I got aboard the plane the flight attendant asked if I wanted anything and I shook my head no. I found my seat in first class and sat down. I jumped out of my…
