I COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT INDIAN AIRLINES HAD CALLED FOR AN INTERVIEW.
I HASTILY MADE A NEW OUT FIT, A RED FITTING DRESS WITH A WHITE COAT AND WHITE HEELS, WHEN I REACHED AIRLINE HOUSE, THERE WERE SO MANY GIRLS FOR THE SAME JOB,
THERE WERE THREE PEOPLE SITTING IN THE ROOM WHEN I ENTERED THE CHIEF HOSTESSS CHIEF PILOT T AND THE OPERATIONAL MANAGER , HE ASKED ME THREE GENERAL KNOWLEDGE QUESTIONS, HE ASKED ME TO TAKE OF MY SHOES AND WALK, THEY WERE CHECKING HIGHT.
AFTER A MONTH I GOT A SELECTION LETTER AND HAD TO GO THROUGH MANY MEDICAL CHECK UPS BEFORE I BECAME A TRAINEE, AT DUM DUM AIRPORT.
MY TRAINING DAYS WERE FUN DAYS CHEIF AIRHOSTESS LIALA ROBERTS WAS A WONDERFUL WOMAN AND ENCOURAGED ME., THERE WERE THREE OTHER GIRLS , CHOSEN WITH ME CLOVER GILSON COLEEN HUGHES AND ARUNA SINGH
MY FIRST FLIGHT WAS WITH LIALA . SHE MADE ME WATCH AND LEARN,
MY FLYING DAYS WAS VERY EVENTFUL. MET A LOT OF CELEBRITYS CRICKET PLAYERS, WRESTLERS BUSINESS MEN AND EVEN PILGRIMS WHO USED TO GO TO MECCA, .ONCE A FLIGHT WAS GROUNDED IN ASSAM, AS THE UNDERCARRIAGE HAD A PROBLEM. I FLEW BACK ON A DACOTA CARGO FLIGHT, SLEPT ALL THROUGH, ON THE FLOOR ON A BLANKET, I WAS NOT REALLY ALLOWED TO DO THAT AS I WAS NOT INSURED FOR A CARGO PLANE, BUT I TOOK THE RISK AND GOT HOME SAFE.
I HAD AN EXPERIENCE OF A THUNDER STORM , IT WAS VERY BAD, AIR POCKETS ARE SOMETHING THAT MAKE YOU SICK AND SCARED, AND THAT DAY THERE WAS ONLY TWO PEOPLE FLYING BACK ME AND A PRIEST, THAT I THOUGHT WAS MY LAST DAY,
MY EXPERIENCE AS AN AIR HOSTESS WAS A PART OF MY YOUNG DAYS A
FUN FILLED TIME I WILL NEVER REGRET
