People find the job of cabin crew quite attractive. Traveling to different cities and countries, staying in luxurious hotels, airline facilities and glamorous lifestyle make this profession even more special. But behind this shine there are many difficulties which people generally do not know about. Recently, a cabin crew member shared a video on social media and made people aware of the reality of this job.
In the video, he told that people often think that the life of an air hostess or cabin crew is completely fun and convenient. They feel that there is no problem in this profession because they get the opportunity to travel by air for free and stay in luxury hotels. However the reality is quite different from this. In the video, cabin crew member Rinkle Chaudhary shared his everyday experiences. She told that at that time it was around 2 o’clock in the night and she had completed her duty in three consecutive flights. Even after this his day was not over. He had to travel as a passenger on the fourth flight so that he could reach his home.
What is the challenge in the job of a crew member?
Rinkle told that between working for long hours and continuous flights, the body gets completely tired. Sleep is not complete and proper time is not available for rest. The girl further said that by the time she reached home it was five in the morning. Even after this the responsibilities do not end. After reaching home, cooking and other household chores have to be done.
It is clearly visible from his words that the work of the cabin crew is not limited to just welcoming the passengers with a smile. Many hours of hard work, physical fatigue and mental pressure are also involved behind this. Many times they have to work at different times, due to which their daily routine changes completely.
The biggest challenge is related to their sleep. Sometimes the flight is very early in the morning and sometimes one has to work till late night. Many times shifts have to be done at different times in the same week. Due to this, the natural clock of the body gets affected and the sleep cycle gets disturbed. If this happens for a long time, it can also affect health.
It also affects eating and drinking habits. Eating at regular time is often not possible. Sometimes one has to eat in a hurry and sometimes one does not get time to eat for several hours. Maintaining a balanced lifestyle is quite challenging due to constant traveling and changing schedules.
Although many attractive facilities are available in this job, but the responsibilities and difficulties that come with it are also no less. Ensuring the safety of passengers, being prepared for emergency situations, working while standing for long periods of time, and remaining calm and professional in all situations are an important part of this job.
Rinkle’s video tried to make people understand that no profession should be judged just by its external shine. Every job has its own benefits and challenges. The life of a cabin crew may appear very attractive from outside, but a lot of hard work, discipline and sacrifice is also hidden behind it.
