From one Flight Attendant to another, you enjoy and please fly safe....

@MarcusLeepapi 7 лет назад

Very nice......Yes, the last time I was in Dusseldorf, Germany I really enjoyed.. I had many crew friends take me out to dinner on several times..

@krissen8519 7 лет назад

You are doing a good Job with your channel, I appreciate. Keep it up man :) all the best :)

@CoreySchultz 7 лет назад

Thank youuuuu :) i have been wanting to apply for so long now.. I guess I will be giving it a go now

@jodigfromfwtx4888 7 лет назад

From other videos I've watched, American flight attendants only start getting their hourly pay when the cabin doors are shut, even if they have to report 1 hour prior to their departure. Sounds like you have a much better situation.

@mungospencer4360 7 лет назад

Tbf Nairobi is significantly safer than Abuja and Luanda. Been there quite a few times and been all around the city.

@chnalvr 7 лет назад

Two questions: 1. If you want to fly somewhere on vacation that BA doesn't serve, can you apply your flight benefits to other airlines? 2. Since you are getting your passport stamped so often do you go through them quickly and does BA pay the fee for you to keep getting new passports?

@themayburys 7 лет назад

You can get staff travel on other airlines yeah. We don't get our passports stamped anywhere.

@jakestravellife7743 7 лет назад

When you go on trips in China, for example, do the pilots go with you or generally just the cabin crew?

@themayburys 7 лет назад

You mean when we do stuff down route? Usually go for a drink and food with pilots when you land and sometimes do things with them in the day too

@danielreed3258 7 лет назад

You are very good looking very articulate also have a very defined look and fab image for ba and united kingdom. Also I politely like too ask if you can watch how fast you speak as you talk very fast as I struggle at times to keep up with what u are saying also use the subtitle opťion so pple can keep up with you much love Dan

@themayburys 7 лет назад

Sorry Dan, I'm just trying to keep the video short and sweet, I'll slow down a little for you :)

@ScotlandTheBrave_1 7 лет назад

See how you go for drinks and dinner with the crew, does that include the pilots?

@themayburys 7 лет назад

Yeah most of the time

@kriscoburn6468 2 года назад

Do you get payed during training?

@dillion7737 5 лет назад

I am just curious to know what's next after an online assessment of British Airways Cabin crew

@themayburys 5 лет назад

If you pass they will call you in for an assessment centre

@danielhsu8142 5 лет назад

Handsome cabin crew😍

@zalamamalik3608 7 лет назад

Me Cabin Crew Of Etihad Airways!!!

@emilyharrison8996 7 лет назад

What qualifications do you need to have to become a flight attendant, do you need a degree and go to uni? Can you go from a college qualification, (obviously being over 18 and customer service experience also) Also do you HAVE to speak at least one or more different languages?

@themayburys 7 лет назад

You don't need a degree, when I applied I think it was 5 GCSEs grace C or above but it might have changed. You don't have to speak a language, I only speak English.

@emilyharrison8996 7 лет назад

Thank-you, also another question.. Im not sure if you're in a relationship, if you are, is it difficult to make the relationship work do you find it hard being away from your partner?

@themayburys 7 лет назад

I'm married and yeah it is hard being away, obviously we miss each other loads but at the same time we get to spend a lot of time together on my days off and you make the most of your time together. In terms of making it work we were engaged when I first started the job so we were solid but as long as you trust each other you can definitely make a relationship work!

@clydelagapa6924 6 лет назад

Question: What does economy and business mean on your topic? and would the college course “tourism” help in my future career as a flight attendant?

@elaminmochichi7767 2 года назад

yes

@louisprice3407 7 лет назад

When will BA next be hiring for cabin crew? I've just turned 18 and I am currently studying aviation operations at college but I would love to apply for 2018 after I've left college and passed my driving test. Also do you have more chance of becoming crew if you drive?. Another amazing video by the way 😁😁

@themayburys 7 лет назад

I think they literally just closed it on the 31st July but usually it opens again in a few months time. No you don't have to drive. And thank you :)

@beachbum4691 6 лет назад

Great Vid' But voice very quiet and hard to hear what you're saying ? plus > what's that ongoing Pinging? (very distracting) thanks for taking the trouble (I was BA cabin crew 1966 to-1973 short-haul, Comets & Tridents) but in those days we could travel both short-haul & long-haul every weekend (And did) :)

@harrisonwatson1868 7 лет назад

Hiii, how close do you live to Heathrow? What is rent like? Did you have to move closer or did you already live there? Thanks 😬😬😬

@themayburys 7 лет назад

I live an hour away and I'm not renting so not quite sure sorry! I already lived here. There is a lot of house shares with other crew available.

@surajbhanderi6320 7 лет назад

Do you fly all types of aircraft and which one are you trained on.?

@themayburys 7 лет назад

A320 (19 and 21 too), A380, 777, 787

@alextait7771 7 лет назад

What are the perks of working with BA rather than a budget airline?

@themayburys 7 лет назад

Main one would be getting off the aircraft to see the destinations, especially long haul

@adamleeding2023 7 лет назад

the mayburys hi hope you don't mind me asking this question but what is the training like do they pay accommodation travel costs and how long does it last and how intensive and hard is it

@mml5808 7 лет назад

It's was my aunties dream to work as a cabin crew member, she said she needed to be at least 5"2 she was 5"0😂

@abdelrahmanmohamed4134 6 лет назад

Are you allowed to leave the hotel while your in Cairo

@themayburys 6 лет назад

Up to the captain

@edwardclements6102 7 лет назад

Do you get free tickets for annual leave

@pilotmark773 7 лет назад

Are there any haircut requirements? i typically have my top slick back and bald back and sides, would that be acceptable? Also whats the difference between mixed fleet and euro fleet? Cheers mate!

@themayburys 7 лет назад

There's nothing in the uniform guidelines about how short mens hair is allowed. I usually get a .5 on the sides and back. MF was created about 7 years ago as a new contract and anyone who becomes cabin crew now is part of MF. Before MF there was EF who fly European routes and WW who fly long haul.

@pilotmark773 7 лет назад

the mayburys that's brilliant thanks very much

@pilotmark773 7 лет назад

the mayburys that's brilliant thanks very much

@kunalmahajan2524 6 лет назад

Which course should do after 12th to become cabin crew

@Exidentity 7 лет назад

Hey, love your videos! I live in London but also speak Chinese and I know that there is a BA base in Hong Kong so I was wondering what are the chances that I could be based there instead of London and if you know how I would be able to apply for that instead of the London base? Thanks!

@themayburys 7 лет назад

Thank you! We have a few chinese speakers on mixed fleet and then regularly do Beijing and Shanghai. I'm not sure about Hong Kong, it's not a MF route. I think you would have to wait until the job came up on the ba job site.

@Exidentity 7 лет назад

Thank you so much!!

@ifixandfly 7 лет назад

I'm training to work in the airline industry right and I was born in Mauritius which is an African destination, so if I was part of the crew and I said it was safe for me to leave the hotel would they let me ? Ps I have My family there and my house there but if I was working for ba going from London to Mauritius and back would I be allowed to visit my family albeit I am present at the check in for work time ?

@themayburys 7 лет назад

Like I said, it's not all African destinations, I'm sure Mauritius is fine and yeah if you want to go somewhere then you don't even have to go to the hotel you can go from the airport.

@ifixandfly 7 лет назад

the mayburys ok thank you very much and good luck with your future endeavours

@flightattendant82 7 лет назад

Bradley, you look like a model, have you ever thought about working in film or modeling on your off days?

@themayburys 7 лет назад

Thank you Thomas, never looked into it

@marleywood3861 7 лет назад

Is there a lot of work in the winter or do you have a lot less flights? Also do you fly from Newcastle or only out of London, Manchester?

@themayburys 7 лет назад

It's the same all year round. And only Heathrow, we fly to Manchester and Newcastle but always start at Heathrow.

@marleywood3861 7 лет назад

the mayburys so if you live in Newcastle can you commute to Heathrow ?

@themayburys 7 лет назад

Yeah there's lots of people who commute from Manchester, Newcastle, Scotland etc.

@mateusmorgado 7 лет назад

Mayburys, how tall are you? I was thinking about applying for BA, but I am 187 cm, not 185 as required :/

@themayburys 7 лет назад

I'm 5'9, not sure if you would get away with it, I hear they can be quite strict

@adamleeding2023 7 лет назад

the mayburys I'm just short of 5'10

@Tranefine 7 лет назад

Do you only fly from Heathrow or also from Gatwick?

@themayburys 7 лет назад

Only Heathrow. Gatwick has a separate fleet.

@Tranefine 7 лет назад

the mayburys And wouldn't you like to fly from Gatwick for some time? I mean having layovers on tropical islands such as st lzcia, barbados, etc must be great, in my opinion ;)

@lewismackinlay1256 7 лет назад

Can you be a flight attendant for a first job ?

@themayburys 7 лет назад

Yeah you can!

@Josdebraxx 7 лет назад

Heyy!! Thanks for the video! I have a really important question for you: my boyfriend wants to be a flight attendant and obviously im not too happy about that.. first of all the because hes gone so often and also the thought of him being with so many female coworkerst. How does that work for you?? Any advice? CAN it work? How do you deal with jealousy etc. Please please please answer this question! I have nooo idea how to deal with it

@themayburys 7 лет назад

Hi! Thanks for the question. When I first started my wife and I were engaged so we were pretty solid together. I suppose it just comes down to trust. We both miss each other a lot but at the same time it comes with benefits as I can bring her with me on trips too. I would say it definitely works, most people in relationships are with someone who isn't crew. Also it makes you appreciate the time you do have together at home.

@Josdebraxx 7 лет назад

the mayburys thanks for the reply! I will definitely give it a try and see how it goes !

@chrismilcetic2179 7 лет назад

Does British Airways pay for your visa? Do you need a visa?

@themayburys 7 лет назад

You need a visa for the US, BA paid for mine but not sure if they still do.

@gavinburnes6344 7 лет назад

Does the airline pay for your hotels ?

@themayburys 7 лет назад

Yeah they put us up down route

@shravanadode4328 4 года назад

U are so handsome and ,good looking guy perfect for aviation media bro 😊👍

@WhateverA 7 лет назад

Do a lot of people make it out of training?

@themayburys 7 лет назад

Bilal Ahmed not sure on exact figures but yeah I'd say nearly everyone does

@oliverb6313 7 лет назад

which is why BA has some of the worst cabin crew of any flagship carrier. mind you, it's debatable as to whether or not BA can even be considered a flagship carrier anymore.

@themayburys 7 лет назад

they have the flag on their tail ;)

@oliverb6313 7 лет назад

yeah, that's what flagship means. christ.

@jamieclark9908 7 лет назад

And will I get my training in London

@themayburys 7 лет назад

Jamie Clark training will always be in London

@jamieclark9908 7 лет назад

@colinclark7977 7 лет назад

Just got back from NBO, I found it very safe. LOS not so much. But VS crew stay at our hotel so we're well entertained! Haha! Accra is good for w night out.

@seans6701 7 лет назад

Love your videos, very informative. Just a piece of advice that your voice is relatively soft and the background music tends to cover your voice, which makes it less clear.

@danielreed3258 7 лет назад

Ba are fab with disabled people and been on ba flights few times and cant do enough. Once I was late for a flight and I had to wait all day and late into the night and I had plenty food and drink I have fond memories of ba.

@MultiGreenRainbow 7 лет назад

Can you do a pros and cons video of being cabin crew

@harshranjan9311 7 лет назад

Great video. Please upload videos more frequently.

@ethanelkins9384 7 лет назад

Cool! I'm going into year 11 at secondary school and I want to become cabin crew. Can you give me any tips or extra pointers that are beneficial for becoming cabin crew? Many thanks.

@jbbahamas 7 лет назад

The crew rest area on some of our 747s (Super Hi-J's) have a toilet - although its a bit cramped!

@juliadasilva6678 Год назад

Great! I want to be a cabin crew for British Airways too. I hope I can succeed as work in heath environment

@feettongue5616 7 лет назад

Thank you for making these videos...super nice....Let me know When you are in Vancouver BC Next! Would be great to do happy hours at Joe fortez

@giorgioarmanioii1428 7 лет назад

i do not agree, not every part of AFRICA is dangerous there are tons of attractions to go to in different countries and you would be safe i dont get why people think of the whole AFRICAN continent as a dangerous place...... it is very sad :(

@themayburys 7 лет назад

Giorgio Armanio II like I said we do do some stuff in some places, I'm just commenting on the destinations I've been to

@southlondonboy6808 7 лет назад

Just to clarify, it's not all African destinations that BA crew aren't allowed to leave the hotel. You only mentioned a few in particular Nigeria and Joburg that are dangerous but Accra is an example of a safe African destination that I know crew do like to go and explore as it's safe

@themayburys 7 лет назад

Haven't been to Accra so can't comment on that one :)

@fluffdj2837 7 лет назад

southlondon boy Cape Town is safe too tbh

@giorgioarmanioii1428 7 лет назад

thank you accra is a safe place to explore ... i know because i live there

@chane214 7 лет назад

I'm with Emirates and Cape Town is honestly just as safe as any other city in the UK or the US

@johndawber4372 7 лет назад

I think aircraft recency is one flight on any aircraft in 3 months and one flight on specific aircraft you are trained on every 6 months.

@sadiepetchey1160 7 лет назад

Would you recommend younger people getting in to the cabin crew industry? I'm 14 and I really like the sound of becoming part of the cabin crew. Thanks

@themayburys 7 лет назад

Yeah definitely! Even if you want to go into something else it's a great job to do for a couple of years while you're young

@vasiai2391 6 лет назад

Do they pay for your apartment or do you have to afford rent?

@JetTheTatGuy 7 лет назад

Going to start working as Cabin Crew for BA as well this September, just wondering when you'll be able to put down your travel list for family members/when would they be able to use it. And great video, btw.

@themayburys 7 лет назад

6 months after your start date. Thank you!

@18free05 7 лет назад

Could you show more of your work? Aircraft, Uniform, Preparations on board, maybe other crew, etc.? It would be really interesting to watch.

@zelinoz3783 6 лет назад

Hey could I speak to you ? Should you actually graduate from college to become a flight attendant ?

@JetTheTatGuy 6 лет назад

PICKLE RICKSTER You don't really need a college level education, although you have to be over 18 for British Airways

@themayburys 6 лет назад

You don't need any kind of qualification so it's a personal choice. If you plan on doing it for the rest of your life then maybe don't go to college. If you'll do it for a few years then do something else, maybe go to college.

@stacey9817 7 лет назад

Quick question . Is your pay done hourly or done by mileage ??

@themayburys 7 лет назад

Hourly

@TarynBell 6 лет назад

I’m confused as to why it’s dangerous in Abuja. Abuja is a major city and has all types of people

@colycody 7 лет назад

Thanks!

@Tamara-xp9nx 7 лет назад

Abuja is not really that bad, you do stick out, but the likelihood of being kidnapped is so low, Ive seen so many white people go for runs in the shops alone etc. Just best to keep a native with you such as the taxi driver and then give him a good tip when you're done!

@nehapereira8281 2 года назад

Ma'am I have cleared the online assessment of British Airways.Now to the assessment round.I have teeth braces.It will take a few span of time to be removed off.So if I make a visit to the assessment location will I be rejected for this reason?

@yimanni6024 3 года назад

Great video! I like it, I just wondering if I study and work together, can I get work in airway. I’m a student actually now, but really want to be a cabin crew, Is that ok if I work and study at the same time?

@alex_theaviation2995 7 лет назад

This video looks so interesting I am enjoying this looking forward to see all your amazing videos and I would like to know more about your vlogs and travels as well which I also like travelling.

@Nekisunita165 3 года назад

My dad captain with British airways 747 long haul, his name is Richard Sims, My step mum is Kimberly Sims, csd long haul both heathrow and my sister now cabin crew at gatwick mixed fleet! Have you flown with any of them?

@themayburys 7 лет назад

I'm not on the 747, your mum would be world wide and I only fly from heathrow not gatwick lol. So no I haven't flown with any of them sorry!

@finRiley 7 лет назад

Do you guys have airline enemies? I read a Virgin Atlantic book called Cabin Fever (which I recommend to anyone), and in the book they say that Etihad and Emirates flight attendants act like they're royalty. Is this the same for you guys?

@themayburys 7 лет назад

We're all friends in the sky. My sister used to work for Emirates, so I wouldn't say that's the case.

hello sir, I am a turbaned Sikh boy from India and have a beard, as per my religion. in Indian domestic airlines, turbaned Sikh boys are allowed to have a beard, even if they are in cabin crew. please tell me if British Airways will allow me to work with turban and a beard ? please do reply

@jesshollister1339 6 лет назад

Hi Bradley, How many times applying did it take you to get the BA job? My 4th assessment day is this coming Wednesday! I am very nervous!! 1st AD - Sent home half way through 2nd AD - Same 3rd AD - Got to 1&1 interview stage! Any advice would be much appreciated!!! Thanks x

@themayburys 6 лет назад

Hey! I got it first time, but if you fail you can apply again, I think you have to wait something like 6 months

@jamiet.3858 7 лет назад

Hi Bradley, got a quick question for you. I follow Pam Ann who always makes the jokes about Worldwide fleet(houses all over the world) and Mixed fleet. The question is, would it be WF or MF who crew the LHR-SIN SIN-SYD?(BAW16). Safe flights.

@themayburys 7 лет назад

MF do they Singapore Sydney route on a 777. WW do just Singapore on the 380 though.
