Ex-flight Attendant Reveals Harsh Realities Of 'Glamorous' Air Hostess Job
Content creator Kat Kamalani claimed that an air hostess has to go through many types of tests. She had to train for two months, six days a week i.e., for 15 hours daily.

Kat Kamalani, a former flight attendant and a social media influencer recently revealed the reason for quitting her job as the air hostess after six years of employment. A social media celebrity from Utah said that the air hostess job is not as glorious as it seems. She dished out a video on TikTok and revealed the reason for hating ‘every single second’ of her job. Kat Kamalani is a mom-of-two, 33 and criticised the hierarchical system, intensive training and demanding passengers among other problems faced by the air hostess. Many people belonging to the same field reacted positively to the video and claimed that they have faced similar issues while working in this Industry.

In the viral video on TikTok, Kat was reportedly sitting in her car and explaining the reason for quitting the job. She said that she was a flight attendant for six years and claimed to be working for one of the biggest airlines. While elaborating further, Kat said that the life of an air hostess depends on seniority. It is decided on the date of joining.

“It dictates what aircraft you’re flying, what holidays you’re flying, if you have weekends off, if you can hold certain dates off,” said Kat Kamalani as quoted by Daily Mail.

The second problem is the intense training. She said she had to train for two months, six days a week, i.e., 15 hours a day. The content creator claimed that an air hostess has to go through many types of tests. She also claimed that the air hostess has to pass tests within 80 per cent or else they are kicked out of the program.

Another issue she noted was simply ‘the people’. “ People think flight attendants are there just to serve you drinks – and truly, we’re there for your safety first,” said Kat Kamalani as quoted by Daily Mail. The content creator claims that the air hostess gets the burn of the sleep-deprived travellers.

Apart from this, many times the flight attendant has to travel on teen flights a day with short layovers. She had to wake up early and get ready for long-scheduled days, which Kat notes as ‘not fun’.
