Flying BXXXX?

I came across this on a colleague's friend's blog, i was laughing when i read through it:

You know you're a flying bitch when...


1. You can eat a super quick 4 course meal standing at the kitchen counter
2. You can pack for a 2 week trip to Europe in 1 roll-aboard
3. All of your pens have different hotel names on them
4. You NEVER unpack
5. You can recognise pilots by the backs of their heads-but not by their faces
6. You understand and actually use the 24-hour clock
7. You stand at the front door and politely say "Buh-bye, thanks, have a nice day" when someone leaves your home
8. Your thighs are covered in bruises from armrests and elbows
9. You wake up and have to look at the hotel stationery to figure out where you are
10. You can spot out an airplane from the ground above and tell the other person what airline it is!
11. You bring home different grocery bags full of goodies that you can't get in your home town! and tell a story about it!
12. You know better NOT to date a pilot!
13. Your a fire fighter, a nurse, a security officer and a server- a great multi-tasker all in one!
14. You are standing in an elevator in your hotel and cant remember what floor you're supposed to go to, or what your room number is.
15. You can never make definite plans, otherwise you know you'll be delayed/called out, for sure!
16. You don't like long walks at the beach anymore, cause all you do is walk the ocean, but 36,000FT above!
17. You have mastered the art of putting on makeup in the car/bus/subway
18. You apologize for everything
19. You are no longer disgusted at stepping in dog poo: you've seen worse...trust me!
20. You appreciate time at home more than anyone else
21. You keep all your creams/perfumes/cosmetics in small pots and bottles so that they pass security cause you know its has to be under 100ML
22. Your fruits and veggies at home always go bad because you're always away
23. You miss your best friend's wedding, your parents' birthday, and all the occasions that are significant to you
24. You know at least 10 uses for the air sickness bags, none of which pertain to vomit.
25. You refer to cities based on their airport codes

26. Every time a door bell rings you look up the ceiling
27. You locate all emergency exits when in public transport and learn the door operations.


Okay.....those in blue applies to me too.

Hello Careen, i'm denise from Malaysia. Searched your blog while simply surfing net ^^

I'm one of the selected candidate for Korean Air which the interview held on March09. I'm glad that i've got selected but all of us are still waiting for the medical results. We have been waiting for quite long actually and heard that the training will be postponed to June because of the swine flu.

I'm very curious and excited for the life after being a cabin crew. Is it fun? is it tough? is it tired? ..... so many questions in my head now...^^

I heard from one of the selected girl, she told us that there are no basic salary for cabin crew, but just based on the allowence. 5 years contract but we are allowed to resign by given 1 month notice and the salary range is about 5k.

"there is no bond in korean air. U can leave the company anytime. tat y our salary very low, average can get rm 5000. give and take, if u can earn 10k a month means u need to pay for the bond."

I don't really understand the "bond" that she said. Do you have any idea?

Hope to get from you soon.

Br,
Denise
