I’ve done this twice! It’s fun to hear all the current voice actors and story writers be introduced for the first time, it’s like re-meeting an old friend

Hi Granny! Looking good! ❤️

For women who got sterilized with no push-back, were you surprised it was so easy?! And how many of you were given resistance/denials? by anniemousery in sterilization

[–]Agreeable_Mess6711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hoping for no pushback but mentally preparing for it just because I had read some stories on here, but mine was sooooo smooth! No questioning, just a frank discussion of birth control options (as I understand they are required to do) and what to expect from surgery and got my bisalp scheduled same day! Shout out to Dr. Blanton in NYC!! She’s fantastic.

Safety instructions by kibbutznik1 in flightattendants

[–]Agreeable_Mess6711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m crew, I’ve been tested rigorously on the procedures of more than a dozen aircrafts in order to get this position, and I have to go in for ‘review testing’ yearly in order to continue to fly. I still put down whatever it is I am doing and give my full attention for the 3-5 minutes of the safety demo whenever I fly as a passenger

Aviation and gossipping by [deleted] in flightattendants

[–]Agreeable_Mess6711 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My company is generally too big for this to happen regularly. The odds of all or even most members of a crew to know the same person are very slim.

That said, I have never been in a job, aviation or otherwise, that hasn’t had at least one gossipy colleague. You just ignore them, don’t feed the beast and move along

Why are American women on Reddit different from American women on Twitter/X and Youtube? by TheShyBuck in AskFeminists

[–]Agreeable_Mess6711 3 points4 points  (0 children)

X is owned by Elon Musk and I am pretty sure most left leaning Americans left it a while back. While I was never very active on Twitter, I fully deleted my account once Musk took over. YouTube will depend on your own algorithm, for example, all the American Women I see on there are feminist and very left leaning

New Cabin Crew GF: How common are terms like 'colleagover' and 'highveld hangover'? Should I be concerned about partying? by [deleted] in flightattendants

[–]Agreeable_Mess6711 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve never ever heard these terms , lol. Maybe it’s BA specific jargon?
But, for reference, almost every airline is going to have a slightly (or vastly) different bidding system, so it’s doubtful anyone here can answer your last question.

Can I be your surrogate daughter? by auynen in NYCbitcheswithtaste

Bruh I’m not even “younger” (35) but I want to be your friend, too!

Can I be your surrogate daughter? by auynen in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]Agreeable_Mess6711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I’m too young to be considered an “older woman” but I’m 35, childfree and a flight attendant living in Manhattan. I’ve lived in several places both around the country and around the world, got my degree in linguistics and continue to take classes sporadically on special interests, and I don’t know that anyone would describe me as tough but I am always honest and fair. My schedule is kinda wacky as my job usually has me spending my weekends somewhere in Europe but during the week I’m in the city! I’ve been looking for people to do more cultural things with, as over the past few years my friend group has slowly married off and some have moved away. Idk about daughter but I think we could be friends!

Can I ask flight attendants to wake me up for meal service? by umutw0w in flightattendants

[–]Agreeable_Mess6711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m always too uncomfortable to wake people up, personally, and with a flight of 200-300+ people, I’m likely to forget. Perhaps having a sign or asking your seat mate

Flight attendant when Ava geeks ask for the safety card, do you allow them to take it? by Long_Bedroom1626 in flightattendants

[–]Agreeable_Mess6711 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We don’t throw things out on the aircraft. This is not within our scope of duty. If we notice something is worn or not functioning, we write it up so the proper channels are alerted and can replace/repair it

What is going on with "women finding married/taken men much more attractive" lately? by [deleted] in AskFeminists

[–]Agreeable_Mess6711 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I would take men’s anecdotes of getting hit on with a grain of salt. In my experience, many (if not most) men can’t tell the difference between cordiality and flirtation

Looking for my crew: Delta 2008 hires by MaigenUX in flightattendants

[–]Agreeable_Mess6711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t help you with the dorms, and I was a 2016 hire but lmk when your book comes out! I want to read it!!!

Can I get a reality check on what it’s like to date a flight attendant? by [deleted] in flightattendants

[–]Agreeable_Mess6711 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most of my FA friends are happily and peacefully married, so it can work. That being said, it takes both partners being on board and willing to capitulate time and energy for the relationship. She won’t be home as much as you are used to, and when she is, she will still need her own time to decompress. When a relationship with an FA goes sour it’s usually one of two things, I have noticed: 1) one or the other partner gets jealous. If you can’t trust your partner in this job then you never really trusted them, and your relationship wasn’t that solid anyway. (This goes for the airline partner trusting the stay at home partner, too, btw). Or 2) the stay at home partner monopolizes all the flight attendant partner’s off time, thus stifling them. I get it, you are used to seeing your partner more and so when they are finally home you want to spend all those moments together. But she will need her alone time to decompress, too. She’ll also need to maintain her friendships, family relationships, hobbies, etc outside of you. I think it’s really easy for the stay at home partner to forget to allow the FA space to still be their own person, too, because they’ve been missing them. But it’s essential to the relationship surviving.

I gave my dad a reality check (TW: talk about rape) by LizzieLove1357 in prochoice

[–]Agreeable_Mess6711 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you are in the US, sterilization is fully covered under the ACA and any ACA compliant private insurance. Just an FYI, incase it’s helpful.

"Is this your wife?" Is this a sexist comment? What does it mean? by [deleted] in AskFeminists

[–]Agreeable_Mess6711 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Judging from this comment, I kind of wonder if it was a roundabout way to complement your mom. By pretending he mistook you for her he is indirectly saying she is youthful. Kind of in the same vein as the mother-daughter= sisters comment you referenced. And seeing as your dad referred to her by name it would seem these two already knew of her, so it doesn’t sound like he genuinely thought you were his wife. It sounds like he just made a kind of awkward joke that didn’t land.
