I dont have many crew friends on my fb list at the moment. A recent bullying incident at work has made me think of you. When I activated my acc again last feb, I only added family and good friends. Later on, I accepted requests. Today, I wish I had more crew friends on my list, especially the ones who have just joined. I want you to know that flying is wonderful. People you work with are fun and kind and thoughtful. Only a few are not. It is the loneliest job in the world and it is also one of the best teachers, for you will learn to be patient, humble and rely on you to make the moments worthwhile. People you work for might not know you. It is not their job to. Love what you do, do it with all your heart and when others notice, so will they. I was once just like you. My first month in widebody, when I brought my mom to Frankfurt with me, I saw my senior who has flown for more than 10 years being called stupid by our supervisor, right infront of her mother, who was also onboard. It shocked all of us especially me and I told myself that when I become a leader, I should not embarrass anyone infront of others especially their own parents. My first trip to Vienna which was also my first flight on a B777, I chose to stay in my room in Club Med, frantically studying throughout the entire week, while my colleagues were having fun, for I had a horrible 13 hours flight on my way there. My inflight purser had picked on me from A-Z and no one bothered to defend me. I couldnt blame him entirely either, for if I had been fully prepared, I would have then been able to really enjoy my trip. I remain curteous to him throughout his flying career. Those days, while others stayed away from him, Id walk over and say hello to him even when I didnt have to. Nowadays, whenever I bump into him outside, he is the first to say hi to me whenever he sees me. He was once the reason I wanted to resign and yet here I am today, still flying high. There are times when no matter what you do, others will just be mean to you. It is their problem, not yours. Remember your roots and live your life. Thank your parents daily for giving you the wings to fly..and when your wings are broken, as it sometimes will..as long as you know how to accept defeat and help gracefully, there will always be someone or something out there, who will be the one to be the wind beneath your wings ♥♥♥♥♥
