What I miss and don't miss, two years after leaving Emirates
-
#1 Miss: the crew, the crew room stories, the layovers as a way of life, the feeling after a hard sector done well. Don't miss: 04:30 reports, the fourth month wall every year, missed weddings, the body clock. The trainer job keeps the aviation and gives me a bed in one time zone. Most ex crew I know say the same list. The job takes some things and gives others, and the people are what you keep.

#2 Same list, different airline. The people are what you keep.

#3 Three ex crew in one thread agreeing. There is your answer for anyone wondering.
