    I put no. Like a few other people have said, i'm not a great flyer, so flying everyday would really make me uncomfortable :-[. I know someone who has done it before, and they loved it. Money may not be good, but you get to travel the world for free :D.

    I am a flight attendant...

    ... and I love it!!!!!!

    After coming back from Disney in 2000 I decited to see a bit more of the world and hired with German airlines Lufthansa.

    Just to get some prejudices out of the way: serving hot tea to guests on board (I don't know who mentioned that here...) is not all that we do. Up and foremost we're on board to secure a safe flight for our passengers. As I hired with Lufthansa I had a TOUGH months long saftey and emergency training, which we repeat every single year in short form by the way.

    Besides the regular emergency training we are trained to solve medical and psychological occurences on board and trust me: having 400 or so people flying with you you´ll see quiet a lot!

    The payment with Lufthansa is not bad though payment and regular working conditions vary a lot from airline to airline.

    With Lufthansa you can not start by flying only intercontinental routes but you'll have continental & intercontinental (depending on your base) mixed flights. After a view years of senority you can try to get into the intercontinental group based in Frankfurt.

    Right now I am on my baby absence, living in Mexico (met my husband in the Commons by the way :)) and I miss flying, I miss waking up in differernt cities around the world, I miss the crew life, I miss...........

    hOLA nINIK

    como estas? Tu eres de Mexiko`? Wow, Me gusta Mexiko, pero ne he estado alli!! I´m switching over to English since my Spanish is not god at all anymore. Wow I tried to get into Lufthansa but I failed the Test, Lufthansa is very popular everyone tries to get in but they have a high level of requirements. I will try it later to get into lufthansa. I´m interested to make long distance flights and not only through Europe and back, without overnights.

    Well, congrats to your baby!! Which origin is your husband, since you met him at the commons, he might be of another origin?

    Have a great day!!!
    Talk to you later
    Un abrzao fuerte

    *lol*

    But since she´s living in Mexiko, she might speak a bit Spanish and thus understands what I´m talkin bout... However I hope I´m right. She is living in Mexiko... Hey Ninik are you currently living over in Mexiko?

    :p ::) ;D :D :p

    I was going to apply for flight attendant too, but unfortunately at that time, Lufthansa did not accept any applications at all.
    So you met your husband at the Commons. That is very interesting, you are the second person I have heard of this. Very Nice. And you two are having a baby now? That is really awesome. But you still work at Lufthansa , do you? Where do the 2, 3 of you live? Mexico? How do you handle all this?

    Hello all,

    Flavour was right: I am from Germany! :)

    I met my husband right in front of my building (19) in the Commons, but not in my wildest dreams would I have imagined then that I had just met my future husband! :D

    His name is Enrique and he is from Mexico. We were participants in the international program in 1999-2000, got married in 2002, had our first baby ( a boy named Angel) in 2003 and a sister (named Anlies) to follow in 2004. Both of them were born on March the 10th, but with one year of difference! ;D

    We did live in Germany (Hamburg) for a while after the program but moved to Mexico over a year ago. Currently we reside in Merida, Yucatan but will move to Cancun in a month! :)

    @Kaddy: due to the crisis in the airline industry after September 11th and the freaking war in Iraq Lufthansa didn't hire for a long time. Keep checking in though, they might even interview you now and hire you when they have positions available!

    @LuckyCharm: Why don't you try to reenter the interview for LH it might as well work out now! I don't know what the psychologists in the interviews go by when they pick the applicants but make sure your appereance is right (and keep in mind LH is a conservative airline) with neat make up, well cared nails (no red or dark colors) and nice clothing. And more important try to get an overview of the company and the job in general. They look for responsable, flexible and smily people. Having that in mind nothing can go wrong!
    P.S. Unless you speak an "exotic" language like Japanese you have no chance to enter the so called intercont group where you only fly longhaul. For the intercont group you need a view years of senority! In FRA and MUC you will have both: European and International, HAM, BER are pure innereuropean flights. Don't worry, only everyonce in a while you will fly back and forth and be home the very same night. On European tours you are away from home up to 5 days. A 3-5 tour is normal! Being based in MUC I had like 2 longhaul flights a month and one european tour! Good luck!

    @Flavour Ich glaube wir haben einen Freund gemein: Karl aus Kanada! Er hatte Dich mal erwaehnt, lach. Ich habe Karl 3 Monate bevor ich ging kennengelernt und als ich zu Hause war sagte er er haette nach mir weitere coole Deutsche kennengelernt u.a. Dich... :)

    Hallo,


    ooooops da habe ich wohl "etwas" laenger gebraucht um zu antworten! ;)

    Ich habe Karl ein paar Wochen vor meiner Abfahrt kennengelernt. Er war der Roommate meines besten Freundes Nikki, der allerdings mit mir abgeflogen ist!

    Ich habe erst kuerzlich von Karl gehoert, er arbeitet auf einer Cruiseline (habe den Namen vergessen) und schippert zu meisst in mexikanischen Gewaessern umher! :)

    Wann bist Du in Disney angekommen??? Ich war vom Juni 1999 - Oktober 2000 dort...

    Liebe Gruesse aus Cancun,

    Ninik

    ich bin im oktober angekommen, aber erst am 25., haben uns also ganz knapp verpasst! schade! aber schon erstaunlich wie klein die welt is!! haha
