Since you started working as a cabin crew member at British Airways, in which area do you feel you have grown the most?

Hi Begüm, thanks for your question.

Since joining British Airways, the area I’ve grown the most in is confidence. Working with a different team on every flight and supporting customers in all kinds of situations really builds your ability to communicate clearly, stay calm when things change quickly and trust your own judgement.

I’ve also developed a much stronger sense of resilience. The lifestyle can be demanding at times, with early starts, long nights and busy flights, but you learn how to manage your energy, look after yourself and stay positive for the people you’re there to support.

And finally, teamwork. You rely on one another throughout the whole day, and you quickly learn how to build trust with colleagues you may have only just met. It’s one of the most rewarding parts of the job.

I hope that helps 😊
