Move Update #2

So the exode towards greener fields or sandier lands more like is well under way. In fact, I have nearly completed the very stressful activity of packing and boxing. I needed a few more boxes and went for a quick run at IKEA. and foud these boxes :

I’m moving out on the 18th because Emirates [...]

Michelle Obama Laviates with us !

These two are freakin’ funny ! How I cracked a laugh when I saw the one with Michelle Obama !
Colon says : “KUL-MNL via Malaysian Airlines. I got left behind by my original flight back to Manila from Jakarta, so I had to purchase a last minute ticket via MH ($400 one way…Im still mourning). [...]

DOWNLOADABLES #80. Chromeo / Fancy Footwork. Update on my move…

Ever since Oz bluetoothed this track to me yesterday, I haven’t stopped playing it. It’s desperately catchy, insanely groovy and the 80’s synth-electro-rock-pop sound of the whole deal makes me wanna… boogie.
Chromeo is a Montreal based electrofunk duo whose music is described as “a shameless return to the glistening, sex-saturated synth-pop which ruled the eighties.”
The [...]

DOWNLOADABLES #79 : Daft Punk… Who else ?

Hey guys, I’m about to leave for the airport and was kinda eager to share this epic encore Daft Punk delivered at the Bercy Venue in Paris for their last tour date. Daft Punk at it’s best here with a brilliant mix in front of a masssiiiiiiiive crowd. The track has been around quite a [...]

June Roster Detailed (to be updated)

Hey peeps. I got my roster for the month of June and I’m liking it. Taking into account that I’m bottom bid I only got one lonely turnaround. Bombay that is. As every month really, not a surprise. The highlight for me this month would be the layover in Bangladesh. Dhaka more precisely. I’m so [...]

HOTEL GOSSIP. WTFML. TWO NEW LAVIATORS

Hey guys. I’m relieved I got off this return flight alive. And that is being honest. I spent the past 8 hours walking up and down the aisles with absolutely not a second for myself and my poor little weak legs. I did not sit once in 8 hours. That’s how bad the flight was.
It [...]

Airboy does New York & Aquaventure in Dubai

Ohh man, where do I start ? This was to be a reserve month with unknown destination building up to a shitty roster. But faith had it differently. I was bound for New York, the Big Apple, The Center Of The World. I was desperate to go. I packed everything I needed : camera, laptop, [...]

Airboy does Shanghai #2 + VIDEO

I haven’t been on a layover for a hell a long time and going to CBC with a cargo suitcase actually felt good. We were bound for Shanghai in China. The flight over was busy as ever and lasted around 8 hours (chock to chock). I was happy after my string of turnarounds to finally [...]

Well Done. Update of the last 72 hours

You probably remember one of my highly entertaining Mauritius trips back last month. We had to deal with something unusual on-board while cruising over the Indian Ocean (ETOPS, meaning far away from any suitable airport to divert to). I cannot give you any details as briefed but upon checking my snail-mail inbox this morning (I [...]

Common Flight Attendant problems : Layover Blues.

I’ve experienced such state a few times already. Doing circles in my hotel room like a goldfish in bowl. As it might sound funny from the outside, it isn’t for the one living it. Living this fast paced life can lead to all sorts of different behaviors and moods you never thought you’d go through. [...]

May Roster detailed… I heart Crew Schedz!

So you’ve probably guessed where I’ll be heading in May ! I didn’t expect much from Crew Scheduling this month as I was supposed to get a whole long month of reserve, homecalls and airport standby. None of that, nada, nicht, rien !! I got a full fledged roster with some nice layovers in tow [...]

I looooooooooooove my job!

90% of the world think we get paid “big” bucks to piss people off. 90% of the time, air travellers will have misconceptions about our job description. And usually, they’re absolutely wrong. Take the Bombay I did today. 90% percent of the passengers I welcomed onboard today had grim faces due certainly to the lack [...]

Cabin Crew video on Emirates Website : my ab-initio !

Was looking at the new www.emiratesgroupcareers.com website and got a shock when I launched the media player and saw my fellow batchmates in there. I’m even hiding in the video… try to spot me ! That brings back a few good memories…

What went down in Paname (slang for Paris) + VIDEO

I apologize for the lateness of this post but priorities remain priorities and things will never change : ie, blogging about me getting lost in a random part of Dubai seemed much more entertaining than my Parisian hols…Anyway… I came back from Paris, France from my little 8 day break just over a week ago [...]

DOWNLOADABLES #74 / Tonite Only – City rooftop, in your tanktop, rainbow stylin’

OOOhhh God, I haven’t posted any tracks in a long time ! Well, no more waiting folks, I have FOUR KILLER TUNES to share with you today. It’s raining here in Dubai, yesterday we saw hail smashing down our dirty windows and gust winds slashing lightweight kids away from their mothers… Today my habibis your [...]
