Yeeeeeeeeepppppeeeee. Finally a roster I was looking forward to. I sharpened my bidding techniques and scored 3 afternoon CDGs for the sole month of October which I’m extatic about. I want my Baguette so baaaaad. I also got a decent Tunis layover for a hint of sun as well as another Nairobi which I’m trying [...]
[update] : I’ve managed to swap my KUL for a Colombo. Happy days ! Short flight + layover, you can’t beat it !And also DOPPLR graciously compiled an annual report on my travels for 2008 if you care to take a look. Very insightful statistics, especially the stuff about carbon dioxyde and hummers…. DOWNLOAD HERE [...]
Despite not being at 100% of my health right now I couldn’t miss out on a booze fuelled night out with some cool dudes including Misha, Marilyn, Sarah, Irena, Chaouki, Tall Ben and others we met at the Lodge. A disco with 2 different floors, one for hip-hop and their pathetic dance battles, the other [...]
This was my second Paris this month, and I have another one coming up. The crew on this one was exceptional. From the purser to the Grade 2s, we all had fun on-board. Both ways. Riccardo (Richard) managed to swap a flight to be on this CDG. And Juan, one of my flatmate Khalils friend [...]
Blimey, it’s so nice to be back in the hood. Where I grew up. Nice to see Father, Mother and Brother all well and having a blast with their new toy : a blender. Mum’s enthusiasm about the machine is beyond belief. She’s so excited about making fresh pina coladas that she had to show [...]

At the end of every month the adrenaline rush starts to pump frantically in anticipation of the rosters and payslips. It’s the best moment as we’re able to see where we’ll be heading for the next month. Not only that, it enables us to sketch a plan of some sort for the month ahead too. [...]
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 [...]
So. This month I’ve been rostered for french destinations thrice. Because every single flight must have a destination language speaker (does that make sense ?). It’s good. It means I get to go back home for a very short period of time, but for free. And I get payed for it too. The allowance in [...]
Ok I finally gathered all the papers I needed to update for the medical handbook. Yet another stressful day. Been waiting for the landlord all afternoon in order for HIM to change our leaking tap in the kitchen, as well as the leaking tap in the toilets.
UPDATE : The landlord has finally made his way [...]
