[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a flight attendant!

I don’t even know how to describe what it’s “like”. Can I share a typical day?

I live in-base, so let’s say my first flight is at 8am. I have to check in at the airport 45 minutes before the flight. My commute is around an hour (30 minutes drive to employee parking, and then I like to allow myself 30 minutes to get to the crew room from the parking lot (there is a bus that picks us up.)) So I’m leaving the house probably at 6am, just to be safe.

I check in, fix up my hair and makeup (standards) and walk to the gate. Meet the crew, have a briefing, and then work the flight.

A typical day for me usually consists of an “out and back/turn” (going from base to a city, then back) and another flight, where I will spend the night.

We take a van to the hotel, and from there, you do as you please. Sometimes groups go out for dinner, or sightseeing, depending on the length of the overnight.

If I started at 8am, I’d likely be done for the day and checked in to the hotel by 6pm. If there are no plans with crew, I’ll usually work out in the hotel gym, and depending on the location, walk to grab or DoorDash some food, eat in my hotel room, read, watch a movie or show, and head to bed. If there’s something noteworthy to see, I may spend the evening sightseeing, but I don’t love doing it alone. The next morning, I wake up and do it all again.

A typical work week for me is 3-4 days long, and I’m done the entire time. Some days are short (1-2 flights) some are long (3-4 flights). I don’t fly internationally as I don’t hold enough seniority, but I’m fine with that because I can hold a solid domestic schedule. Some months I bid for shorter week where you work long days, some months I want to explore so I bid best layovers, some months I’m tired and bid long weeks with long layovers.

I’d be happy to answer anything else![/quote]

Is it true that men will offer to buy your stockings? It seems that flight 
attendants are even more fetishized than Asian women by middle aged white males.  [/quote]
