What Motivates You?

Hi All,

Have a question for everyone...what motivates you about your job?? What aspects of your job are the most enjoyable? Pretty general...would love to here from a crew perspective and also from cabin manager/supervisors perspective also!


Cheers!

The sheer joy of walking through the arrivals hall of some hot and sunny far off place whilst picking up my suitcase and walking past all my passengers that have paid a fortune for their holiday of a lifetime.

I must agree that it's a nice feeling after a long haul flight to go through immigration in a breeze past all those ungreatfull (not all lol) passengers.

Plus it's the best job in the world all things equal elsewhere.

Happy Flying to all !

Time off
Staff travel
Shopping

That's pretty much it. I couldn't fly again for an airline that didn't have nightstops and the nightstops need to be somewhere civilised where I can get to a mall and a decent gym.

I think I've been spoilt by BA LHR WW.

- the fact that i do something "different" than the majority.
- the everyday challenge
- the nice (rare, but ever so delightful) PAX i get to meet, care for and look after.
- the (majority) of great crew i have the pleasure to work with; great crew always makes a difference, no matter how bad your day was.
- the feeling i have when i leave the a/c, after being there, in body and soul ,for a special pax, and knowing I've done everything i could to make their flight special.
- the steady roster
- THE MONEY!!!!!! ( bwoy do we work hard, hence the money are so good)
- the uniform (what can i say, i just look good in the uniform)


Rgds,
ATS


PS1: I'm sure there's more, but I'm so tired after earlies, i can't even type properly!

PS2: I'm telling you, earlies should be banned! They should make flying Mon-Fri, 9 to 5! ( i know, I'm a dreamer, but I'm allowed, right?)
