- Your holistic time changes means you need to get up at a time which your flight demands. If your flight is 3 in the morning you need to report at 2. Sometimes the flight times are odd like 3 in midnight. It is really disturbing at times because this profession disturbs your sleeping pattern
- You don't get much holidays means there are no specific holidays example in a normal business there is holiday on Sunday but in aviation business you don't get holidays on specific day or festivals like Diwali , holi or raksha bandan. (You get sick leaves in aviation but for specific leaves you need to report earlier )
- Sometimes the passengers get too aggressive with air hostess. Example I saw in a interview where a passenger asked for a drink multiple times. Air hostess catered to her need but when she knew she can't provide more drink to passenger. She denied but the passenger behaved aggressively shouting at air hostess.
- Air hostess have to become guardian for passengers till air hostess are in flight. If any passenger falls sick or anything major happens than air hostess are responsible to handle it.
- Sometimes passengers try to misbehave with air hostess as well. Passengers sometimes stare at air hostess in vulgar way.
- Air hostess had to listen to passengers when they press call button. Sometimes passengers prank with air hostess by pressing the yellow call light again and again.
- Further there is huge importance of dress code in aviation business that air hostess need to strictly abide by. Air hostess make up, hairstyles, code of conduct everything comes as a part of their job.
- Last but not the least air hostess need to maintain decorum in the plane. They need to serve food at specific intervals , clean the mess of food. And also provide water when the passengers wants.
There are various perks of being air hostess like good income , travelling for free , reservation of hotels but everything has pros and cons
