One week of training down, just a few more to go. Can’t wait to be flying the friendly skies again soon! I miss my Sunwing family like crazy already, but I am so excited for what the future has in store for me at Air Canada rouge. #InitialTraining #FlightAttendantLife #FlyGuy #StudyStudyStudy

Anonymous asked: How did you get your job? What airline do you work for? Do you need to be bi or tri lingual? Thanks!

Thank you for the question Anon!

I just started training for the new airline Air Canada rouge. As for how I got the job, I just let my personality shine and was confident in the interview. I did the same for my first airline job too. As for languages, I only speak English fluently, but because here in Canada we have two official language (English and French), I was assessed on my French skills several times throughout the interview process and had to acquire at least a Level 2 (out of 4) to be welcomed into the training program. Although having a second or third language isn’t a requirement of being a flight attendant, it really helps because it shows off a level of diversity and it also benefits both the employer and passengers when traveling to destinations where their first language may not be English.

Anonymous asked: do you have to be attractive to be a flight attendant? like i don't know if i am or not and i don't wanna be up myself by saying i am if i'm not... but i've had a few years experience with customers and i love interacting with people and meeting new people :) and i've finished school and i've travelled to america, thailand and new zealand and im only 18 :) do you think i would have a slight chance?

Hey Anon,

I just started training at a new airline this past week and I can tell you that not everyone is attractive. What matters in the airline industry is, as corny as it may sound, inner attractiveness. Personality is the number one thing that recruiters look for. It sounds like you’ll make a perfect flight attendant based on your love to meet new people - be sure to let that personality shine when you’re writing cover letters and doing interviews. Good luck!

Conflict between the heart and the head.

It makes decision making so difficult…

Spending the night in the “Library Suite” in Moncton, New Brunswick. It’s a fully themed room complete with a jacuzzi in the living room! I love it! #Layover #CrewLife #Library #Books #Bedroom #Hotel #YQM (at Ramada Plaza Crystal Palace & Convention Centre)

My Starbucks mug collection is growing! I just added the Cabo, Mexico mug to my collection. Hopefully one day I will own a collection as big as this (or bigger?).

It was two years ago today that I started journaling on a daily basis. I have documented my daily activities, thoughts, faith journey and personal stories in my collection of uniformed black notebooks. It’s incredible how much I have grown as an individual over the past two years. I can’t wait to reflect on my life on April 1, 2014 and beyond.

Today was another sunny day in Jamaica! I love my job! Hope everybunny had a hoppy Easter! #CrewLife #Layover #MBJ #Jamaica #Balcony #RIU #Resort

Do you prefer an aisle seat or a window seat on an airplane?

As an only child, I will have no one to share memories with when I am older.

What a sad realization.
