Cabin Crew Schedule

Hello everyone,

I've recently got my schedule for November and it looks like another busy and exciting month ahead. I came back from Antigua yesterday, and I also have a couple of 4 day European trips, where I get to spend the night in Toulouse, Geneva and Amsterdam. I also have some day trips, such as Edinburgh and back followed by Dublin and back.

I usually get two days off every week as a minimum, and always two days off after a long haul flight.

I'm really looking forward to my European trips as I've been mainly doing long haul flights, taking people on their holidays, and I miss some European shopping.

A little day trip to Pisa

Hi everyone.



I went to Pisa in Italy today, a very busy flight with lots of holiday makers. I got talking to a lovely lady who was worried about turbulence. It was only a little bit bumpy, however this lady felt really uneasy about it. I explained to her that the reason for a few bumps are that the wind comes from different directions and that's why the aircraft moves as it does. I also reassured her that this is perfectly normal and although it feels uncomfortable to fearful flyers, it is not dangerous.



We sat and chatted for a while, which was really nice as it gave me an opportunity to answer her questions about planes, flying and Air Traffic Control. We also chatted about the Flyingwithoutfear.com website, and she will hopefully visit us soon. This lovely lady did really well on this flight, even though she was nervous.



I have been called to do a flight to Dallas tomorrow (Monday 27th August) and I'm really looking forward to it. I haven't been to Dallas since January, so I'm getting excited about all the shopping I'm going to do. I will post about this flight when I come back in a few days time.

I would recommend for anyone who is nervous about flying to let both the ground staff and cabin crew know how you feel. This gives us the opportunity to help you as much as we can, to make your flight better for you.

Best wishes,
Turi
