personally, i din realise how tough and draining this job can be until i joined the company.. initally like all outsiders i tot it was just a waiter/waitress job..
1. hierachy
its a uniformed organisation so you'll have to be prepared for alot alot of seniority. things like offering to let the seniors go first, eat first and drink first have to be done by u cos ur the most junior now. especially for ppl in their late 20s who already have some work experiences, they might not get used to working in an environment where u need to put others' needs in front of theirs. whether its a fellow crew or a pax. and also how are you going to handle when a senior asks u to do smth tt u know is wrong?
2. job scope
alot of things are situational. it has to be de ur done in ur own judgement. something you do might be right to another person, but wrong in another person's eyes. there's too many things to be listed down in black and white.
plus lots of other things like the need to leave ur home, working when all ur frens are out partying on a PH, not have a 9-5 job, not being able to enjoy your weekends etc..
which is why we all wanna fly isnt it? =)
Hi Yingying,
Those are the few pointers that I have noted and accepted, pertaining to the part about doing the wrong things under instructions, are there any ways to resolve the conflict without offending the seniors?
I mean there are certain protocols in uniformed org but this is like quasi uniform, there is a system in place but as mentioned, some details are not spelled in black and white
Guess that's the fun part about the job too cos I am definitely not a desk bound person
btw how long have you been with the airlines already?
