- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- So as a first time Flight Attendant I was only given the choice of 3 bases. And at first Detroit was last on my list. But as it turned out I did choose Detroit. Find out why and what interesting benefits I found out by being based in Detroit as a Flight Attendant.

I enjoyed your video, and yes I agree that Detroit is a very upcoming city. It's nice to see Detroit making a comeback. Good luck with your career!
Hey there, Jim. Thank you so much for the comment. Yes Detroit is a very cool city with so much to do. I hope to visit again soon.
I appreciate the best wishes and thank you so much for watching and subscribing. Have a wonderful rest of your summer. 😁
Thank you for the introduction of Detroit and its airport. You have chosen a best place as your crash pad. With transportation and breakfast services it is the smart choice.
I do have a full tour of the Detroit airport. Coming up very soon. It will be as if you were walking through the airport yourself. I’ll have that later this week. Hope you enjoy it. ☺️
As a passenger I can say Detroit is the best airport I have ever layed over in and I have been through every airline hub!
Hi VF. SEA is senior. But be prepared for significantly higher prices. Cost of living index for SEA and LAX is only about 0.1 point difference. Beautiful place but u won’t see much of it due to working. Glad u are having fun. Herman 12:13
Hey there Herman. Thanks so much for the heads up. Yep, pretty expensive. I’m originally from LA so I totally get it.
I did manage to land a good priced crash pad today so I hope that works out.
Thanks so much for watching and subscribing. Talk soon. 😃
@Herman: Yes, Seattle may be a senior Crew Base, but it also has many freshly hired flight attendants based out of there as well. There is vlog from a Delta flight attendant from Ghana (with a beautiful beehive hairdo) who is newly hired and is based out of Seattle. She is over the moon happy about being a flight attendant!! When you say you won't be seeing much due to working, do you mean that the flight attendants based out of Seattle are too busy flying and don't get enough off days? If the cost-of-living is high in Seattle, do the Delta flight attendants earn more there ie cost of living expense??
For genten77. Yes, you have 6 ADAYs a month which is like reserve. Most likely fly or do a sit at airport or hang at home. Them other days, you get some days off, around 12, and get assigned to various rotations the other days. And it tires you, so you need good rest. Re the lady from Ghana, her name is Princilla and is a SUPER person
Detroit is my favorite city to visit! I’m considering moving up there !
Yes, that would be a wonderful option. Detroit has a lot to offer. And real estate right now is not as expensive as I imagine it will be in five years. If I were you, I would take advantage and consider it well.
All the best to you. Thanks for the comment, for watching and subscribing.
😃
Detroit is so underrated- the downtown, midtown and Corktown are thriving and a blast - much more than a handful of cities. I was pleasantly surprised
Hey there, Franklin. I couldn’t agree more. I was stunned at how nice the place was. I still go back there when I can. There’s so much to see and do.
Thanks so much for watching and subscribing. Have an amazing day. Talk soon. ☺️
Thank you for your information on base selection. You seem quite mature (older?) than many of the flight attendant vlogs that I see on UA-cam. You are certainly more well versed (educated? certainly higher than the required GED by airlines!!) than many!! Did you have a career before joining the airline industry?
Hello there. Thank you so much for stopping by. Hope you are having a wonderful holiday season.
Yes, I am a bit older, or shall we say more seasoned, ha ha.
I have had several other careers in the past, and I always consider education a huge part of my life. So thank you for noticing.
I hope you are enjoying the information from the channel. I will have more videos coming out in January after the holidays. Thanks again for stopping by. And I wish you a wonderful 2024. Take care. 😁
@@valenciaflyer : It is always listening to you and your vlogs are A1+!! Wish we had many vlogs like you from more people!! You take us with you on your journeys and it is fun to travel vicariously through you!
By the way I enjoyed your tour of Milwaukee!! Next time you go there, try and visit their Cathedrals.... they are exquisite!! Especially the Josefate Cathedral. It is a Polish Cathedral well worth a visit!!
Wish you a Happy New Year and hope you had a delightful Christmas!!
Thanks for these videos!!!!
Hey there Jose.
No, thank you for being here! I hope the videos are valuable to you. Thanks for watching and subscribing! 😃
Hello.
Watching this video makes me feel really good about possibly going to DTW :-) . Just curious are you open to sharing more info on how you found this crash pad at a hotel ???? Sounds much more safer than a regular house/condo…. Thanks again
Hi there. Sure thing. It’s called the Clarion Inn. Nice place.
Congrats on your placement. When do you get on the line?
Thanks for watching and subscribing! Talk soon. 🙂
Welcome to DTW. I hope u stick around. Also there's a concert venue east of downtown. I believe there's a bus from the airport that will take you downtown. If u have any questions let me know.
Hey there Steve, thanks for letting me know. I love attending live music events. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks for watching and subscribing. Have a great day.😁
Thank you so much for this video! So informative! I’m curious on how is the flying out of MSP.
Thank you for watching and for your comment. I’m glad it was helpful. MSP is another pretty cool airport. It also has a tram and is laid out a little bit differently. Lots of shops and restaurants to choose from. Also it is connected to a major hotel. Thanks again for watching and subscribing. Have a wonderful day.😀
@@valenciaflyer thank you so much! My F2F interview with this same company is next Wednesday, the 13th! I hope to see you in the skies!
@@vivift That’s wonderful. Congratulations!! if I can give a piece of advice, make sure to always smile. Have a great time and show that you’re having a great time. Let your personality sparkle. They are always looking out for that. All the best to you. 😁
@vivit: When selecting a city for relocation as a crew base you MUST keep in mind many factors besides affordability!! You need to keep in mind the economy and growth of the city, its safety record, heath care facilities ie hospitals, urgent care clinics. If the economy of a city is good, there is a very good chance that the quality of life would be good there too and it will also help you find another lucrative job incase to get tired of being an over worked and under paid trolley dolley ie a flight attendant!!
Great content! I’m a new FA and looking to commute. Can you send me the info about the hotel that allows you to use it as a crash pad
Hi there. Thanks so much for the comment.
Yes, the hotel is The Clarion. Check it out. Hope that helps. Have a good one! 🙂
I live in Minneapolis and I love it. Most people who move here think they're gonna hate it and they end end up loving it.
So true. I hear wonderful things about living there. 😊
You probably should have picked Minneapolis. You could get a line faster. Even though, I was born and raised in Detroit.
Detroit is very nice. Love the airport!
@lady: Minneapolis may be nice, but race relations in that city have taken a real beating after Georger Floyd incident. It also gets unbearably cold brrrrr in the winter!! and please don't forget taxes in the twin cities are HIGH!!
Moving walkways! 😂
That sounds good too! Lol 😂
