I’m Parisien, I Love Rien.

This is a clipping I have been reading in the Emirates in-flight magazine whilst flying back home today. I really do think it pictures realistically our generation and it’s relationship with communicating and using social networks these days. It specifically is true as far as Airboy is concerned. The other day, my flatmate’s friend (Daniel) [...]

DOWNLOADABLES #48 / Leona Lewis gets covered…It’s the end folks!

Along with the Mystery Jet’s (pictured left) cover of Pop Idol Lewis’s ‘Bleeding Love’, great cover actually. Also on today’s playlist is a very well [...]

Singapore meets Airboy

Hey just returned from a pleasant trip over to Singapore and Melbourne. The crew was very entertaining, from Captain to Grade2’s I think we all had a great time enjoying ourselves. We landed in Singapore for our first stop and I had ONE objective in mind : Getting myself kitted out with a brand new [...]

Private message for MotherOfSodwee.

Mum, click the BIG PLAY BUTTON, you can’t miss it :

M.I.A. to retire ? Let’s hope she’s not thrown out of the US and A !

It’s no secret that we heart M.I.A. here at Airboy and we’ve just heard that she’s announced her retirement from music and live shows at the Bonnaroo Festival a couple days ago. Now that’s a bummer. We’ll rely on Santogold from now on to bring the good tacky 80’s Hip-Hop sound to our stereo’s ! [...]

AirboyTV is On Air !

After thinking of it for a few minutes (no more) I decided to upload some footage from the past months, thanks to Youtube you can now view snippets of life as a Cabin Crew for Emirates. As you’d expect, it’s in Full HD with pristine sound…. or not. But hey gives you something to [...]

The mop dilemma

A new day in Dub-Dub, a new adventure. I woke up in a spasm today, eyes wide open in a nanosecond. To my misfortune, I had not put the air-conditionning on for the night, thus waking up in a horrible hot bedroom. The waking up process over. I decided to take a tour of the [...]

DOWNLOADABLES #47 / 31.214039131 Gigabytes and counting

So we have discovered some truly amazing [...]

Our New CBC !

The Flying Kiwi strikes again with hot news from the world inside Emirates. He took the tour of the new facilities that Crew On Duty will enjoy at the new Crew Briefing Center. We were invited but I didn’t go, I was down route in Paris when the tours were scheduled… But thanks to Mat [...]

CDG who? CDG what ?

Hey just landed in Dub-Dub after an eventful layover in Paaarrrreee, my hometown. Started of in briefing where the crew was bubbling up their 24h stay in the capital of love. All smiles they were ! It’s crazy to realise that you lived and come from a town that everyone knows, that everyone wants to [...]

What’s wrong with me?

Another two days in Dubai and this urge to clean the flat just struck again. It’s hard to resist. We have a balcony here, it’s the best thing about the flat I’ve found so far. The balcony is huge but we cannot use it. If you happen to stay more than 10 minutes out there [...]

Number 46 peeps. We come a long way since our first DOWNLOADABLES ! Now a weekly stint into fresh, hyped up tracks that make the blogosphere go crazy. Remember, what is published here, will sooner or later be played on Radio, like all the Adele tracks we’ve posted, the Santogold marathon we had a few [...]

Tattoos & Emirates Cabin Crew…

After answering over 20 emails about tattoos and Emirates policy about them let me make things clearer. You can have tattoos, but as you’re working in a customer service environment it needs to be ultra discreet. It should not interfere with the relationship you build with a customer. A tattoo might be seen as rude/disgraceful/etc [...]
