Catherine, you are very dignified and I admire your approach to the whole situation. Your open, honest and authentic video is a testament to your strong self!!!
The comments people wrote about you are WONDERFUL! Thank you for treating people so well and being so good at your job! So many places will be lucky to have you on their team❤❤❤
I’m one of crew who’ve never known that flight on 21st mar 2020 was my last flight as a cabin crew. Quitting this job is never in my head,but i also have to move on.... I keep telling myself 20 years of being a cabin crew...is more than enough. Good Luck,Kath♥️♥️
Well Darling i think one of your colleagues you told probably made a report against you resigning... so the company taught of doing so before you do trust me. Be good dear! Stay safe💋
This made me emotional as well. Watched all your tutorial videos and they really helped me a lot since I passed my flight attendant interview by the last months of 2019. Unfortunately, my training has been cancelled due to the pandemic. It has been hard coz I was really looking forward to finally live my dream job. I'm accepting things as life continues to happen but I still have high hopes that I get to be a flight attendant in the near future. Thank you for sharing and inspiring Ms. Kath and stay safe everyone!! 💕
One of the best supervisors I’ve flown with! Kath, you are beautiful inside and out. I’m honored to have flown with you and I’m so glad you came aboard that flight kahit wala ka nung briefing 😂 (Bali Flight) Sending you hugs from Doha! ❤️🤗
'Resting my wings' Made me cry. I have learnt alot from your videos, Stay blessed always and don't worry, you are still a cabin crew for us. And will wait for upcoming videos
I randomly came across this video and watched it in the middle of the night because I couldn't sleep. I'm so happy I found you, your sweet accent reminds me of my Philippino nurse colleagues and even though I'm not a cabin crew and didn't experience what you did, I felt a little your nostalgia for moving onto your new (exciting!) phase in your life and leaving your job which was a big part of your identity as for similar reasons I've decided to (temporarily or permanently?) leave my career as a nurse to fully enjoy my maternity, so team mum here, supporting you 100%! Praying you're well, new follower, can't wait to learn more about life in the Philippines and motherhood or whatever ☺️ Wishing you and your family the best! ❤️
I flew with you , you are one of the best CS i ever flew with ❤️ I remember that flight when you were talking about your leave you were so excited to see your son and you showed us the photo of your son too he is so cute 🥰 Stay blessed always 😇
don't u worry we'll support you even though you're no longer a cabin crew. we knew it's been really hard to tell everybody the journey but you did it!! we're so proud of you ate kath
Something similar happened to me long time ago, when I had 8 years flying here in this side of the world, but you know what...I still take advantage of all I learned in this industry, I am now 34 years in Aviation, founded my own Cabin Crew School, my daughter was a Qatar Airways Cabin Crew just like you, my son is a Pilot and I started my Aviation School with just USD180.00 and now 20 years later I am a successful lady, with two wonderful kids, but I am still doing what I love, I teach Hazmat, Fisiology, and Cabin crew new generations, I still live doing my best but at another level. Try something Kath, don´t be disapointed, things happen because of something, but is in you to find the way to continue enjoying aviation world. Keep Flying high. Don´t ever stop looking forward. Sincerely,
It’s a horrible way to communicate to someone that they are no longer needed at work. Maybe a letter would have been better, but Look at it his way, your son is happy to have his mom home. That’s priceless.
It's never easy to ennd someone's employment. In person would be respectable. If that's not possible then yes, I agree that a nice letter with a nice severance pay would be respectable.
Hi Kath! We flew couple of times. Ex-crew here. I know what you feel right now, i know very well how QR is. Seniority and even good performance doesn’t matter if they want to let you go. Everything happens for a reason and that is your new bundle of joy coming. Im sure it’s gonna be a big adjustment but hang in there. It’ll get better in time.❤️
I am watching this video almost three years later May 2023, and it made me very emotional because obviously you needed a closure event to be able to love on. That year (2020) was very difficult for many people, especially for airline’s staff. Also, the end of this video was very graceful and professional. I’m was so glad you were so appreciative of all the things you were able to accomplish during your employment with Qatar Airways. That was very humble and professional of you, and I’m curious about what are you doing now because if I were a manager with Qatar, I would definitely offer you a ground job in your country. Qatar should be proud of you as an employee, and they should want such good, professional and grateful employee. I will start watching your videos to see if I can get up to date with your life events after the fact. Bravo…!
You’ve inspired me eversince I saw you here RU-vid because I always go to Qatar to see my parents. Since I am always flying alone, Cabin crews from your airlines are the ones who always took care of me throughout the flight and now that I am already in college, my dream is to become just like all of you to bring out the hospitality and service. I do hope after I graduate in college, there is a hope for us students to be a cabin crew one day. Maybe soon when everything is normal Ms. Kath, we will meet in the skies!✈️ God bless you and your family. Keep safe always po! ❤️
It’s really painful how they let you go, but I believe sometimes things happen with a reason, Gods know why and sure He has a plan for you . It’s my first time seeing you video and it’s really hurting, I have subscribed and I will be watching what ever video you will be posting. Love ❤️ from Kenya 🇰🇪.
Knowing and understanding how you feel, I just wanna say that God will continue being with you and bless you and your family. Thank you for staying so strong both through the tough times and throughout the video. Stay blessed 🙏
I'm somewhat emotional watching this video. My last flight was last October 2020, a few months later I was retrenched through a video call. It's tough but we'll get through this ☺️
This video made me cry .i went through the same . I can feel what you are saying I’m still unable to move on . It still hurts me that it ended this way . The picture of my 14 boxes broke my heart too . Stay strong ❤️
When everyone (or almost everyone) that works for a company is excellent, sometimes the choice of who to let go during restructuring really does have to be kind of random and not connected to anyone doing anything wrong or not being good enough. I lost a job that I was considering quitting when they restructured, and it stings to hear those words that you can't come back. But I hope you were comforted in knowing you did amazing work, that people who worked with you enjoyed the experience of knowing you, and that this was ordained for a reason and it will work out long-term possibly better than your original plans would have (for example, it already gave you lots of extra time with family when you recorded this). Thank you for sharing. I can tell those emotions regarding everything were still a bit tender in this video. I hope it has continued to get easier for you to look back on how it happened and remember it with peace and even laughter, and that your words were encouraging to others who experienced something similar. 😊
You really make so emotional as tears drop from my eyes too for you. Be strong as your really so strong and wish you all the best and your really deserved for more than thay.
You have been a motivation to me. This is not the end but a beginning. I have been an aspirant. I thought of going for interviews but I didn’t. Atlast when i opened up myself for it and think it is time, i made a blunder in open day event. That was my first time appearing for it, after that lockdown happened and I’m hoping it to start. Everyday i look for an update. You are motivational, you will definitely do wonders no matter where you go. Bless you and your family. This is just a phase and this will pass soon. Amen 🙏🏻 And you’re the best ! 🌹❤️
I have great respect for you! This video left me teary eyed as I had similar emotions when I left Singapore after working there for 25 years, it means the job and your colleagues meant a lot to you. You obviously realised Qatar Airways has given you the opportunity to fulfill your dreams and for your family as well, all companies and jobs have politics, but it is good you didn't want to focus on that and respectfully highlight the good things the job has given to you. The job has given you the experience working with all kind of people which will surely help you in your future career in perhaps other kind of jobs, or you can start training new recruits.....I spoke to a young junior (at least junior with SQ, maybe she had to start all over again from the lower ranks) crew member from SQ in october on my flight AMS-SIN who was from QR and is now with them, perhaps also due to the pandemic she had to go....greetings from Indonesia and the Netherlands! Wish you success in your Life!
Ms. Kath, I know how you feel. Been there as well. It takes guts and bravery to share this difficult story and I just want to hug you and the rest of the crew who got laid off in times of pandemic :( I’m grateful to have flown with you in a short flight somewhere in Pakistan while I was doing my 6 mos turnaround before I left
Very good attitude and words. I had the same experience just different job in Qatar. Lost my job as well due to structure .My heart was also very sad due to my excellent performance .Had lots of questions as well and same answers like you. It took me a fee months to get over it but I realize that at the end God will walk with as and He always provide for as. My fear and sadness got less and now I just move forward and try to stay possitive .I will make a success again! Monique
I have been watching your channel for so long since 2019. The first video is about How to make-up for the interview which I watched it. And I gained so many stuff about cabin crew just to prepare myself for the assessment day , but I never see this clip before. A few days ago, I was searching if you are still working with QR.. and I saw this clip by now. I want to say Thank You so much for all knowledges you gave it to me and I even thought about I want to fly with you once, but it won’t happen anymore. Btw, I want to tell you that this little lady already passed the final interview and I am waiting for the DOJ, after 2 years graduated, 3 times attempts (Dec-Feb) and the pandemic also. Now I am still watching for other clips as if I fly to be a trainee and what I need to prepare. Also, you are the one made me know that even you have your family but it could work to be a cabin crew anyway. So now… although you are not holding the wings but you could do the video such as your lifestyle, or traveling in PH. I would love to see, I used to go to PH once as well. Haha. Salamat po Ate Kath ❤️ I am a little one from TH 🇹🇭
Love u Kath!! ❤️ Everything happens for a reason..I feel you😘 We grew and evolve..and nothing beats being with your loved ones, friends and family! To greater and better things in life! God Bless🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Was really touching and inspiring Kathy I have 2 daughters with Qatar airways too .....fully understand your plight ...but as the saying goes God has a plan and purpose for everything that happens in our lives, so dont be despondent as much as it hurts you hold your head up high cause youve given your best years to your company. You deserve only the best you're such a selfless individual Kath stay strong go well beautiful child
Your kind words and elegant thoughts tell what a wonderful person you are. Qatar Airways must've been lucky to have somebody like you. And you're gonna land safely wherever you fly as long as you're having those strong wings and honest heart.
See you crying at end of the video really made me emotional too. I know it's so sad to end such a lond chapter, but I'm sure you will find a new path really soon. No matter what, we will keep watching your videos and keep supporting you!! Lot of love from Italy
I used to work for QR also. Don't worry something good has been laid out for you and your family by God. Take pride you served QR with your heart and it helped you reached some of your dreams and needs. Sending you hugs Kath. I don't know you personally but I can feel you. **hugs**
What Beautiful and Hombel Video! Everything Happens for a Reason and im Very Sure You Served the Company with Commitment & Grace and They should be so Onnerd for Your Hard Work and Service! We Allways Fly with Qatar Airways and Allways Frace Their Amazing Service & Quality Flights thanks to Cabin Crews like You! All the Best Luck with Your New Family Life! Go and Spread Your Wings and Fly Higher than Ever Before ❤👌🏼❤✈
Oh dear Kath you had me in tears! I flew from South Africa to the USA and back again in January this year. I flew with Qatar Airlines. That's why I was watching your video. Previously I flew with Delta, but I absolutely loved flying with Qatar. On my way back to SA this January the cabin crew asked for a nurse or doctor on board to assist with and emergency. I am a nurse so I volunteered. OMW I was so impressed with the medical equipment Qatar has on board the aircraft. The staff at QATAR AIRLINES ARE THE BEST. Never will I fly with any other airlines again.
Hey Kath , I really like all your videos , I found them very helpful for me. And I just wanted to tell you … I cried with you… You are great and gorgeous person . It’s already a long time ago since you made this video but I’m just exploring your channel and it’s happening now for me. Wish you all the best to you and your family ❤️
Kathy, I was terminated by EK during the pandemic and even though I was considering to resign, it hits differently when you’re somehow kicked out than when you leave in your own ... I know how you feel but everything happens for a reason and a new path is coming our way and it’s for the better 💕 my best wishes for you and your family, enjoy them and cheers for the new beginnings 🥰
Great sharing. It's my dream job and though I never passed any interview, I still follow lots of cabin crew vlog to catch up stories and other stuff. Hope to see more sharing about interesting stuffs onboard.
I feel the same 🥺 My last flight was Bali, the first time that the management allowed us to wear mask on board! I went out of Doha right after I landed from Bali because I only have 3 days off to enjoy with all the things that's happening specially doing all the full ULH and LH flights without knowing that it would be my last flight in my QR life 🥺 I miss flying tho (the normal crazy flights).
Ate Kath, isa ka po sa mga naging guide ko when I was applying as an FA back in 2019. Fortunately, I was hired! Over 500 applicants, we were only 5 who made the cut and were able to sign a contract. Sadly, it was put on hold due to the pandemic. Nevertheless, I'm still grateful I have proven myself that I can make it. Thank you for being so generous with your pieces of advice! Had I not watched your vlogs esp. on how to answer (and nail it) during the interview, i won't be able to pass. Thanks a lot, ate Kath! God bless you on your new journey.
Not because of your performance, it's because your already in the Philippines that's why they think it's easier for you to take their decision to lay you off. That's what I knew because from the stories of your co worker (cabin crew) which has been my customer.
Thankyou so much ma’am for sharing your story with us I really appreciate your efforts and hard work towards Qatar airways when I was watching your this video I was also crying with you but no worries ma’am we will with you. All the best for your bright future❤️
You are one of the reasons why I am motivated to become a flight attendant Ms kath. Cast your worries away and we will be just here supporting you. Stay safe to you and your family❤️
Yesterday, I have just watched VDO " I left QATAR AIRWAYS" from Cappucino Channel. Have a good luck for new way of your life. Everything happens, it's good.
This video brought me back to my call...and I started crying again... I am still processing tbh... So I understand 💛 kind regards... N major blessing 💛 hope you are doing well 🥺
You really touched my heart. You are so sweet. I'm currently applying for this job, and I already sent my pictures with a blue background. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us.
I feel sorry for everything. Anyways, Thanks for all the updates and the knowledge you shared🙏😘😘. I am looking forward to going for a Customer Service Representative.
Sending you loads of love from India . The moment you took names from the office you took me back to my notice period and I actually recalled my last few days with QR . Good luck for future endeavours and so much more power to you ❤️❤️❤️.
Kath, it's hard and it will take some time. You're been honest and don't feel ashamed if you cry. Those 8 years will always be in your heart. Nobody can take those memories away from you. You had plans to resign but you never aspected ro end that way and that's probably why it hurts so much. I worked for 21 years for the New York City Marathon. On March 2019 we're told the office was closing because of the pandemic. They kept us (with reduced hours until August and then we got furlough until January 20th 2021 when we finally got lay off. We knew that things where not good. I though I was prepared but when I got the email from HR, my heart sank. I cried. The memories of all those years and a closet with uniform jackets and shirts is only what is left. Are we ever get call back. I don't know. Because of my age it has been impossible to find a job (and yes, I believe there's age discrimination) You still young and have a long future ahead of you and the most important thing is that you have your family, your husband and your son with you. You'll be with them all the time and not between trips. You're also very beautiful and when this pandemic is over who nows, you may end up being a cabin crew with Quatar or another airline 😎
Love you ate! Better opportunity will come your way most definitely! When one door closes, it’s so Allah can make room for something much bigger and better. You got this ate Kath ❤️❤️
