Flight attendant stories 國外空姐網誌分享(全英)－Nadiya娜迪雅人在國外*since 2014

今天想要來發想一些國外的空服員寫的網誌~~

之前有看到一篇網誌 ( 前阿酋空姐 ) 真是寫進我心坎阿~~ 但是她後來山除了所以沒辦法在這裡跟大家分享~不然可以說是我目前看過寫得最貼切最動人的文章。

基本上就是說雖然這麼工作可以讓你在1個月內去五六個國家看各種不同的風景，但是同時這個工作會讓你錯過所有在你人生中跟家人重要的聚會、你姊妹的婚禮、父親進醫院也沒辦法第一時間回家探望他等等。最後這位空姐還是選擇離職回到美國並且結婚，她表示她終於可以看自己的心情選擇今天要穿甚麼、要擦哪種顏色的口紅和指甲油了。

也許這些小事情在許多人眼中根本不算甚麼，但是在我們這些飛了2年，從來不能擦深海藍色指甲油也不能愛自己喜歡顏色頭髮的人，久了就是一種奢侈阿。

今天就來分享一些故事，不過全部都是英文~ 由於版主很懶惰所以就不幫大家翻譯了~~

THE “BECOMING A FLIGHT ATTENDANT” STORY: THAT LEAP THAT CHANGED YOUR LIFE

BY KARA / JANUARY 4, 2017 /

It’s a question so common and familiar. It’s asked almost every time a flight attendant meets someone and ‘that someone’ finds out that the flight attendant is a flight attendant. If it’s obvious the flight attendant is that (because they are in uniform), travelers are intensely curious and intrigued by what seems to be a “glamorous job.”

The question comes in different forms; often after inquiries regarding terrible passengers, crazy inflight moments, pilots, and ‘The Mile High Club.” The question might be worded differently, but the root motive is always the same. These people want to know, “How did you become a flight attendant?”

We all have that story. It’s a story of becoming— like a soul becoming. Because, some of us have always wanted to do this. We have dreamed about it since the days of little girl and little boyhood. Some of us have never wanted to do this. Some of us did this initially as a fluke— like a dare or accident. It was a career detour that we deemed appropriate for a couple of years, just to ‘get it out of our system.’ We were surprised when it didn’t work like that and continued for years and years and more years; a testament to the fact that once you start the flight attendant lifestyle, it is an imprint in your nature— part of who you are.

That’s the thing about fly life. If you want it out of your system, you should probably never try it. For when you leap, you are changed forever.

I know that being a flight attendant isn’t for everyone, but for everyone who has tried it, he or she will have a story. Ask Griffin, Meghan, Celessa, Rachael, Marco, Talia, Jasmine, myself— anyone who has ever contributed to this blog— or any cabin crew anywhere! They will have a backstory to finding their fly life that is more of a journey than a job. It’s a coming of age. A sort of epiphany.

My ‘becoming a flight attendant story’ is accident coupled with destiny. I was a marketing graduate; sure that my life path would be married at 24. I would work at an advertising firm. Live in one place. Own a dog. Have a baby. I still hope to find ‘my person,’ adopt a puppy, and enjoy Momhood, but how blessed am I to have flying first? I was gifted time to explore and wonder; break and repair; build and grow. I was free to fly.

Flight Attendant Life has always been a mix of lonely and lovely. In the loneliness, I discovered how strong I could be and how much I could take. In the lovely, I realized how big and broad and possible the world was. Everyone has a story, and when you ask a flight attendant how it was that ‘this way’ became ‘her way,’ pay attention to the small cues that tell you how she’s changed, what she’s had, where she’s been, and where she will go.

What’s your becoming a flight attendant story? It probably has changed your life, and it will most likely change someone else’s life too. If you think about it, this entire blog— over 5 years of writing and almost 8 years of flying— finds its foundation and fuel in that specific question. I know my life is forever changed because of becoming a flight attendant and writing about it. I pray and hope that yours is positively changed too, whether you are a flight attendant, become a flight attendant, or simply read about the adventures.

Let’s hear your stories on IG about how you became a flight attendant. Post a photo that depicts, shares, exhibits your heart and soul flight attendant journey, with a little of your story. Tag @thefalife, @flywithmehgan, and @thejourneyofayounggun and hashtag #myflystory, so we can see it! We want to hear about you!!
