Enough is enough!


Recently I came back from leave break and was surprised to get to hear that flight attendants are under the limelight again. This time is a rape case and it stirs up some crappy comments on our life style.

I don’t know what’s more to say or comment to defend ourselves from being scrutinised, harassed or attacked verbally or physically. I guess, often than not, it’s the publicity of the press.

If a rape case happened, public would automatically pity the victim who is a civilian. However, if the victim is a flight attendant, the view may vary drastically.

My non-crew friends ever asked whether the saying is true. The “by default” mentality is flight attendants sleep around, messing up with passengers, pilots or other crew.

Please do not apply a single narrowed mentality by extrapolating it. Don’t let one or two-spoiled brat stain our image and dignity.

It’s unfair!

Simple English: Secretaries don’t sleep with their bosses; nurses don’t sleep with doctors; students don’t sleep with lecturers; bus drivers don’t sleep with passengers; etc.

Given with our stress-less working environment, other than battling with our constant fatigue flying schedule, we are basically a group of mentally and physically healthy species.

Let me say it for once, not all flight attendants are leading a messy sex life.
