So I was on SBY today and I asked for flight yesterday night actually but MIOCC told me that he didn't have flights for me yet. I actually hate cases like this because I can't sleep in peace thinking that they will call me in the middle of the night.
Ps. Not answering MIOCC's call on your SBY is a serious lapse.
So I woke up at around 7.45am but didn't see any calls from them. The next moment as I tried to fall back to sleep they call me and activated me for a three-sector Danang-Siem Reap (DAD-REP) flight in the afternoon.
But that would affect my Dili (DIL) flight next day... So they took me off and put me on SBY duration.
CIC was one of the Top few famous ones... But I flew with her once before so I wasn't worried.
But oh well, bad days happen. She spotted a few of my mistakes in a row and almost wanted to write me in. Thank god for my crew who put in a good word for me, my CIC said she'll give me a chance.
But then again it wasn't major mistakes it was just... I was unlucky that she spotted them.
Not forgetting on the returning sector for REP to SIN, this young teenage lady and her Caucasian Dad seemed to be discussing about me while I was doing boarding. When I approached them to see if I could help with anything, her Dad replied, "Oh nothing much, my daughter was just commenting how pretty you were."
Thank you for praising me when I felt the worse.

Overnight Torture
03 April 2016 // Sunday
So I'm rostered for Hyderabad (HYD) overnight today... And it's definitely a torture haha.
But our load wasn't too bad.Service was done quite quickly and we had rest time on the way back.
But I had a headache towards the end and almost fell asleep.
As usual, overnight flights were more relaxed but surprisingly, we had no whiskey orders on this India overnight (which usually was a norm)!
Arrival was the next day so needles to say I went straight home and fell into a deep coma :)

Change is the only Constant

If you've seen my previous post, I mentioned that today's HKT flight was all my batch mates.
However, I knew there won't be such good things in the world. I got a call from Crew Scheduling (MIOCC) asking me to change to another flight Phnom Penh (PNH) with another of my batch mate.
It sure was disappointing that the four of us could not fly together but now that I have another batch mate with me on PNH it doesn't sound too bad either.
When we checked the load, we were glad to find out that PNH's load was half of HKT's! Which means it was a good thing that we changed flights hehe.
Although it wasn't really full, our Crew-in-Charge (CIC) was nice enough to help us during service.
It was generally a good flight! Short flight so nothing much to blog about.
Cheers!

New Beginnings
01 April 2016 // Friday
It has been almost six months since my last post and I sincerely apologize. The initial plan to update my blog daily on my training and flying life was too intense for me to catch up.
No doubt these past five months indeed a lot has happened and by not updating them here there's a lot of interesting matters missed out. But nonetheless I shall attempt to continue updating (to the best I can).
So my batch have just ended three days of English Announcement class and today is our off day. I'm on standby (SBY) tomorrow so awaiting a flight to be assigned to me.
They gave me a Phuket (HKT) flight later in the afternoon but when I checked the crew names, I was pleasantly greeted with a set of crew with all my batch mates! This is a one in a million possibility and we were all excited for the flight tomorrow!
Watch here to find out more about our flight tomorrow!
