🎥 Aviation, flying & life with pets

If you saw my previous post, you know that aviation doesn’t always go according to plan 😬

But honestly, this is exactly why I love it. The unexpected days, the view from the flight deck, the constant learning - all of it.

From cabin crew to pilot. This is the journey I’m taking you on.

Welcome aboard 🤍

Somewhere between the ground and the sky, I found myself.

But hey…at least I’ll have wings 😂

A few minutes after this message reached the flight deck, the Captain called me up for a NITS briefing. We were no longer going to Catania.

🌋 Etna erupted
✈️ CTA closed
🛬 Divert to CIY
🚌 Disembark & ferry back to OTP

This is the part of aviation passengers rarely see.

Every captain deserves a proper pre-flight nap ✈️

Every takeoff begins long before the wheels leave the ground.

Most people see an aircraft taxiing.
I see another day doing what I love.

And yes… that little wave? 👋
That was for everyone watching who dreams of being here one day.

Mom, I hope you’re watching from the best seat in the sky. This one’s for you, my angel. 🤍

Follow my journey from senior cabin crew to airline pilot.

After all these years in aviation, one lesson has never changed: your attitude will always leave a stronger impression than your experience.

Have you ever worked with someone whose attitude made all the difference? I’d love to hear your experience in the comments. 👇

Plot twist: hour building in progress 👩‍✈️

One day, you’ll make a mistake in front of a full cabin… and that’s completely normal.

Follow for real cabin crew advice that training doesn’t teach you.

What’s the biggest lesson you’ve learned from a mistake at work?
