Flight Attendant Reveals Dark Secrets of the Job | Informer
Переглядів 3,503,466
День томуThis former flight attendant reveals what it’s like flying for both low-cost and premium airlines in Asia, “I’ve seen a lot of flight attendants spiral, there’s a lot of suicide in the industry."
The only KPI that matters is your appearance, so if you have bad skin or gain weight then you’re suspended to fix those issues before stepping back onto the plane. She’s seen flight attendants resort to drug use and plastic surgery - with a colleague dying on the surgery table from getting liposuction.
She’s dealt with a passenger throwing hot noodle soup at crew members, an intoxicated passenger masturbating naked in his seat, a suspected Mafia member smuggling guns onto the plane to the pressures of entertaining high-level politicians whilst the airline is turning a blind eye.
All those years as a flight attendant have changed the way the Informer perceives society, she says “it’s great when you start, you’re being paid thousands to travel to all these exotic places but I just did not foresee this other side of the industry”.

They told me in the interview that maintaining a very small weight is a part of the job description because the flight attendants have to be tiny to fit down the halls.

My Mom was a flight attendant when she first came from Ethiopia to the US in the early 90's and she told me she had special privileges, and her salary was higher than some of the other attendants, she got picked out with couple of other ladies to attendant to certain guests she was offered free things too outside of the airlines, and was asked to work at a bar with some other attendants but she rejected it since she wanted to be in the right state of mind when working. I told her why you don't become one again then if they paid well? she said, "look at me" Shes gain weight and had kids and said no chance of her getting a job back at American airlines.

I remember a flight attendant that pulled down the window blinds for me when I was sleeping. I was a quiet, shy teenager, usually invisible to people, and it melted my heart because it was so nice and I never asked for it. Later when I woke up I got hot buns for a flight breakfast and I loved them so much I remember them all those years later. It breaks my heart to learn how awfully those people are treated. For how nice they have always been to me, I would love to give them all the good things in this world, but they get all the bad things and it's not fair, it's so much not fair.... They don't deserve that!

I applied for the flight attendant position recently and I read the website carefully and checked all the requirements. I seemed to be a very good candidate so I thought I would easily get the job. I passed all the exams and the last thing to do was weight, height measurements. I was underweight so they immediately eliminated me, even though they never wrote on their website specifically about that. I had to travel, buy plane tickets and all that just to get eliminated because of weighing 6 kilos less. I was super sad and I thought I lost a huge opportunity but now I can see that I was actually saved from that madness.

I worked as a flight attendant in Northern Europe and it wasn't like this. Any harassment or misbehaviour of customers, and we would give them a warning and have the guards waiting for them at the arrival gate. No hard beauty standards either, we had all sizes of both women and men. The negative things I witnessed was some unruly customers, gossip and power games by seniors. Then the constant pressure change in the body and short nights really messes up your body. Many were on sleeping pills. And garlic, you can't eat any of that...

I took a flight recently in business class of an Asian airline. I dont usually get to do so, but my work was paying so I made the most of it. As expected, the meals were served in courses by the flight attendants, with snacks and other amenities provided throughout. I was just being normally polite, and was understanding when my chosen meal option wasnt available (chose a seat at the back of the cabin, so everyone else had their pick before me, and was thus my own fault). After we landed, the purser told me I was the nicest passenger she'd had in a long time and really appreciated my presence on the flight. I couldn't really understand why: I mean, isn't saying "please" and "thank you" just common courtesy? That's literally all I did. Anyway, watching this video showed me that this "common courtesy" is not "common" to everyone. I like to think most people are nice but, I guess, "most people" fly in economy...

@@Livingproof0823 it could be if the eye drops are mixed with alcohol and ingested orally - a chemical reaction quite possibly could occur and one of those symptoms could be drowsiness - perhaps being at a high elevation also causes this mixture of things to cause someone ti get sleepy.

I do not think this is any different than normal day to day living - I mean lemon is good in salad dressing but you don't put it in your eyes bc you'd most likely have an adverse reaction.

Sad to hear that she went through some terrible experiences in her career but honestly I am sure there are dark sides to every type of jobs banking, government, companies. A friend of mine was let go from her previous job at a company. Although she was very efficient at her job, the new section manager was trying to push in her former colleagues from previous job. The HR head was also in good terms with her and all it took was just a few oral and written warnings over trivial matters which was practiced by almost every at the office. For example, she took a day's leave because her grandma passed away. She notified the office but failed to inform what she was working on at the moment. She got a written warning for that. The head manager was not interested in her pleas at all. There was no way to contest, no one to report to, no mechanism nothing. She got a nice severence package but she was so devestated that she lost the will to apply for a salary paying job. She is doing well with her own business now.

My wife was a Flight Attendant for 20 years--heard alot of these stories before--She passed away in early 2022. She had great memories of Piedmont Airlines and US Airways--made many many friends and had many stories--some good and some not so good.Some of wild passengers who she handled well and some that were a real problem--love to tell her stories she told me. she handled people with her smile and kindness---her smile would light up the whole cabin--everyone loved her--even her crew mates. FA are the heros of the sky too not just the pilots. She said the Pilots would certainly abuse their power whenever they could. Said many of them and many of them failed to get what they wanted. She said she would call them out if they tried to use their power on her..Stand up for yourself and others--there is a lot of power in a group--definitely when the unions get involved. One FA that I knew stopped passengers from trying to take all of ice off of the plane with them. He put the ice cubes in his mouth and showed the passengers what he was doing---The passengers were not interested any longer and stopped asking for more ice--if passengers would step in sometimes and help the FAs many problems would go away STAND UP for your favorite airline employees. They are not there to be abused just like in th real world.

I was so disgusted with how we were treated by the passengers that I only lasted three years and had to quit. It was NOT glamorous in any sense and to this day it’s still hard to talk about. We were treated horribly while locked inside that flying tube; had luggage thrown at us daily, meal trays were disgusting and asked if we were “clean” in order to serve them and clean meaning was I on my period. I always had a smell to my uniforms that I could never get out. I would never do that job again.

If you're a flight attendant, then you should know each company is different. My aunt is a head flight attendant for KLM. KLM isn't as strict on its employees as other airlines. Appearance guidelines are firm, but not unrealistic. Employees are not expected to take blatant abuse (especially if my aunt is on the flight; she will duct tape an unruly passenger to their seat in a heart beat, or threaten to tape their mouth shut if they spit on someone). Other companies are the complete opposite. Many Korean airlines have impossible standards for their employees, and they will be named and shamed for not complying. They're expected to remain servile and docile regardless of what they face. There aren't universal standards or experiences.

There are recounts of the victims, the persons who have experienced that. Some may believe and some may not. There's also no way you can be sure that this is only happening in Asia. Remember that none believed that churches were abusing kids and still many are reluctant to believe so. There was no way of verifying the information but only the accounts of the abused victims. Sexual harassment at workplace have been one of the most difficult issues to prove in a court even if evidence is available, due to the very high power and several connections of the abusers.

Being a flight attendant from Asia this is my first time hearing such thing. I have never experience such thing. Dealing with senior crew and unruly passenger is the most difficult part of my job so far but no body no what's going to happen in the future.

Not this. There's no reason to think that standards in the UK would decrease. Don't worry yourself for no reason. It's daft.

I am from Singapore and I hear a Singaporean accent. Most likely from Singapore SIA. 1 male SIA air steward bragged that he had fucked every girl from different race. Never date a fight attendant never faithful

I'm always nice to Flight Attendant, and avoid complain cause I had a friend who was a Attendant and told me about this dark side.

That’s a Southeast Asian accent. Singaporean, Malaysian, maybe Indonesian. It doesn’t mean it’s one of those airlines but all Flagship carriers of said countries have very high, unrealistic image standards. Those carriers also don’t treat them fairly. Not that we’re miles ahead in the states, but still better with room for improvement.

ikr its always been weird to me that flight stewardesses have to look like super models. and yet they have to deal with cavemen-like behaviour of passengers and crew. if i was running airports, i’d force all airlines to have military personnel as flight attendants, that way everyone behaves during takeoff 😂

Singapore is very strict in terms of drugs so it's not Singapore

@@surasura6333 I lived there and I’ve seen drugs in the country. You just have to know where to look if you want it bad enough. I do appreciate their stance on it and know the use is limited to say the least, but they’re there. It does more likely narrow it down to other countries, so you are right to an extent.

@@bhawkpilot4714 I don't believe on you Singapore doesn't tolerate drugs even smuggling guns on the plane they don't tolerate such things they don't ban people who smuggled on the plane but infact they will make those people who did such things will surely land on jail

I dated a flight attendant for a little and pretty much everyday she would encounter a pilot or staff member trying to get into her pants. During her work, she just had a miserable life. It took all of the glamour away.

very disgusting how some captains ruins women trip experience just by them refusing to sleep with the captains, they act like a child and a psycopath in the same time. very dangerous

This is insane and very shameful. I’m sure the western world doesn’t see half of what this person has gone through but I can imagine it can still get pretty bad for flight attendants here in the states smh

Those who don't want to sleep will never sleep with anyone, no matter what happens to their jobs. I know many women in this job just want to be with pilots for a night or two. They can do anything for money. Families no matter how poor will never allow such thing. So, both parties are involved. If it's exploitation, just leave the job.

Thanks so much Vice for the coverage. I was a shift manager at the Hartsfield Jackson international Airport and many ppl tried recruiting me to work for delta. I almost was tempted but then I saw the Japanese flight attendant ladies and said oh hell no.
