Study Notes
Challenges of Being a Flight Attendant
- Dealing with turbulence is not the worst part of the job, as it's not as common as people think, thanks to advances in technology.
- The worst part of the job is actually jet lag, which affects not only the time zone change but also the irregular working hours.
- Irregular working hours can include long shifts on overnight flights, requiring sleep adjustments before and after the flight, leading to confusion about the day.
- Jumping across time zones throughout the week, especially when rarely working on domestic flights, exacerbates the jet lag problem.
