YEs... i have been in a few jobs after crew life... there ARE straight men who are bitchy too!!!! its the personality, not gender... men who are insecure of their job, get bithcy too.. but of cos we dun call them a bitch but bastards!!! hahahaha... see... it happens everywhere... if a small company can hav these kinda ppl.. needless to say the airline with such a big number of staff (cew)... logically.... the bigger the pool, the more u get...toygirl wrote: Bitchiness from men - Gay men perhaps. Straight men - rarely.
Hi, I find your posts to be most enlightening, informative and even humourous.I really enjoyed every word you wrote. I reckon you have flown for SQ and United, but am not sure which the other one might be.Emirates most likely. I joined SQ in 1989 and made LS in 4 years. Quit after almost 6 years. Joining Tiger Airways next month. Thank you for all your advice. It helped me to decide to settle for this Singapore-based airline. What line of work are you in now? Thanks...toygirl wrote:let's put it this way, some ppl have it easier than others. there will be nice ppl - trust me, i wouldn't have been able to survive otherwise. but some can be destructive. just be careful not to step on anyone's toes. simple advice. if you step on dynamite, you'll explode
i'll tell you what happened to me - one of my crew was really really nice to me - turned out later, he wanted to sleep with me. you get the picture. some "nice" ones are actually arseholes.
trust me - training will be the fun part - usually most get sick after 1 year and bond time over - resignation! think of it like going to university, when you enrol you full of excitment, after you in your final year, you can't wait to get out - same feeling for some.
you'll be fine, just remember, humility goes a long way. however, i have seen innocent cases when the girl is just too quiet and they think something's wrong with you. it's a balance. plus no offence, singaporeans then to be really @!##$!@#@#@# sometimes - i think its the competitve nature perhaps.
and yes - i know of some "lucky" girls who end up marrying the first officer - "lucky" - depends on how you view it.
it's like acting really - i act with my customers, i act with my crew, i act with the pilot. i act. once i finish my flight and head to my hotel, the show is over and i become my real self =) giggle, my girls and i always laugh thinking we all can win oscar sometimes!
now you know why many of the channel 8 artistes are ex-cabin crew! hahahahaha
If you have FA experience, especially as Supervisory crew, then Tiger Airways may appoint you as Crew-in-Charge or Senior FA right away or a few months after you start flying. I'm a non-grad, so it was an easy decision for me to quit my teaching job to return to flying.*rachel* wrote:it's very upsetting to see peoples argue in the forum ... if one cannot endure what other peoples said in open forum like this, how one can survive with the political issue in any job?
toygirl and merliongal26 just trying to gives some information of their personal experince - although is not what aspiring FA hope to hear, but hey ... it's just a piece of information.
tuesdayisbest also give good views about her experince as an FA...
the thing is everyone might experince things in every different way ... is up to those care to read.... and think through.... and care to ask more info from them again to deciede... whether to be or not to be FA.
I agree is there is no difference as an FA whether u r grad or
not ...everyone is the same up there.
However, the fact that is those freah grad who become an FA right after degree must be prepare - your FA experience might not be counted, especially those professions like IT, Engineer, Lawyer,... where experince in similar job is what count for better pay and more senior position. Remember a degree not put in practice after 2 years means nothing much to an employer ... they will think a fresh grad is better than them and no one care u have 1st class, it was 2 years ago.
Again - there are many successful examples out there for life after FA.
