Totally agree.
Nothing wrong that you also enjoy your job so much - I'm 100% sure it is noted and appreciated by your customers, and it also cannot fail in some way to 'rub off' on the crew working with you on board - even those moaning few (all carriers have them) who should have hung up their wings and ice tongs many years ago.......!
Had the most amazing experiences over the past ten years, visited some fantastic places, get paid a good salary (fair enough, I'll never be rich !!) and above all made some life long friends....
Sure it has it's moments - same as all jobs - but even the most horrendous flights can never happen again in quite the same way!
After 9-11 was pretty worrying though!
Best thing I ever did was to apply for cabin crew, Was 'obsessed' with aircraft and flying since I was about 9, so Its nice that I made it my career.
I often think I'm lucky because I love my job (more of a lifestyle than a job perhaps) as so many of my friends totally despise theirs.
