    May-king the Most of It!

    In this months blog from Susan, we hear how she makes the most of it, no matter what might go wrong! Because in aviation, something always will go a bit off plan, and as cabin crew you need to be able to go with the flow! And who knows what sliding door moments are happening when it all appears to be going wrong! Send us a text!

    Untrained for the Unexpected

    Have you ever had to deal with something you're absolutely not trained for? When you're 38,000ft in the air, the cabin crew member is the one person everyone turns to to deal with an issue. Most of the time we're trained for it! Fire in the cabin? We trained for that! Violent passenger? We trained for that! Medical emergency? We trained for that! Mental health emergency? Oh boy... not really trained for that! People from all walks of life board that plane, so once in a while the crew are expected to deal with a situation that they're not fully trained for. But as they are usually the type of person who just wants to help, no matter what, they will jump on in and hope they do the right thing. In today's episode of The Red Eye podcast, we tell the stories of the true events that happened to our host and producer, Ally. Who happened to be the person left to deal with 2 separate mental health crises, and wasn't the type of person who would turn her back just because they aren't completely sure what to do.

    The Original Ash Cloud Story

    When European airspace shut down in April 2010, the aviation industry largely just accepted it because standard procedures told us that is what happens when a volcano erupts and spits ash into the air. Planes can't fly through ash. Of course! But, like most Standard Operating Procedures in the airline industry, there was an incident that occured that showed us why we need that procedure in place. Well, back in 1982, British Airways Flight 9 from Kuala Lumpur to Perth got caught out when the Mount Galunggung volcano in Indonesia erupted, spewing ash into the air. But no one had experienced the effects of volcanic ash in jet engines - and we learnt pretty swiftly that it was not good.  All four engines stopped, effectively turning the Boeing 747 into a glider. Thankfully, the pilots and engineers skills, training and persistence in the face of danger meant that once the aircraft had descended to 12,000ft they were able to restart the engines and land with 3 working ones. After a few days of investgation it was determined that the the tips of the turbine blades had been ground away by the volcanic ash, that had clogged the engines at 37,000ft and had only restarted when enough of the molten ash solidified and broke off at the lower level. In today's episode of The Red Eye podcast, we tell this story from the point of view of the pilots, crew and passengers, in this 30 minute audiobook style story, based on the true events of the Original Ash Cloud incident.

    April's Edition of Cabin Crew Gossip - Galley FM

    Galley FM is where we hear all the juiciest gossip as Cabin Crew, it's usually listened to at 4am when we're sat in our jumpseats trying to stay awake on the red eye with coffee and biscuits. Because you can guarantee that if something scandalous has happened on a flight or on a trip - then that story will make it's way around the world faster than the plane itself! On today's episode, we hear Susan's blog entry for April. Where she heard a huge amount of fabulous gossip about some naughty pilots but unfortunately her Mum was there when she heard it. (although she didn't seem to mind to be fair!)  If you like a glimpse into the glamourous, gossipful life of aviation, then listen to this pocket sized episode of The Red Eye podcast! Send us a text!

    The Hotel on the Hill

    Cabin crew stay in so many hotels that sometimes we forget which one we're at that day. Sometimes we even forget which destination we've flown to, waking up in a bed and having to think really hard about what you did the day before to discover which country or city you are in! But what if you're out and about on your layover and need to get back to the hotel, and you forget the name. You're lost. And at 3am in Boston, that's not a good situation to be in. Well this happened, and you can listen to this true story, told as a short audiobook on the latest episode of The Red Eye. If you like tales about funny flight attendants, nights out gne wrong or the world of aviation - this is for you!
