Cabin crew, door to manual.

Aircraft visit.

About studies.

I'm studying in airBaltic training centre everyday from 9:00 until 18:00. And then - preparing for my exams at home. Two weeks were like that, non stop of studying. But now...

I've finished my first part of studies and only three weeks left. Three weeks with amazing practical studies. 

Second week - done!

First of all I must say, that I have successfully passed my exams in Security training, Discipline and responsibilities, and in First aid training.

And practical exams in Fire and smoke training, in water survival training and in medical aspects and First aid training. 

I feel great!

I must say, that I already know so many unbelievably valuable things, that will definitely help me in real life and in work, of course.

I loved fire and smoke training, where we needed to use extinguishers and evacuate people from the aircraft full of smoke, where you can't see anything. And by anything I mean - ANYTHING.

I loved water survival training. Just amazing! Several hours in the water, doing loads of exercises, showing our physic, strength in team work and as individual.

First aid. So truly useful and needed.

Did CPR, did put casualty's in the recovery position, did everything to save the infant's and child's life, managed to rescue chokers and so on.

So many useful information.

Just... so valuable!

But what I loved the most, was Crew resource management class, with an amazing lecturer. Such an interesting, fun, new and so important class. Played cool games, looked at cool pictures, did so many team work plays and studies. Found out, what kind of "animals" and leaders, followers are we. 

We are a great team.

We are so helpful and fun, and do speak about everything in such a comfy and natural way.
Such an amazing atmosphere in our training centre.
Loving it.
I'm getting more and more into it, and I can't wait to get my licence and to begin to do all the amazing practical thingies.
Words can not explain, how excited I am.

First week - done!

Good morning, everyone! 

I am thrilled to announce that I have successfully past my first two exams, with 100% and a little under 100%. 

First week - done.

Four more to go.

And many, many more theoretical and practical exams to past. 

I must say, that these studies are so interesting, so fulfilling, and the lecturers are awesome, too. 

Not only a professionals, who are giving loads necessary information, but also giving us information and telling us all these amazingly interesting stories from crew life and company life.

Having another exams already on Monday and Tuesday and practical ones during the week. Thrilled and worried at the same time. Want to have maximum points, want to do better and better everyday.

Welcome on Board!

Hey you, my dear reader!

My name is Elina and I just have started my journey in the aviation industry. More specific - I am trying to become a licensed cabin crew. Cool, huh?

I guess it has been every girls and boys dream to fly, to become a pilot or astronaut, right?
Well... it sure wasn't mine.
I always wanted to become a hairdresser or a lawyer. In the reality I become a lawyer.
You might ask, what kind of person with such a good education and common sense would risk and have "that sort of lifestyle"? Well. Me.

I would be lying if I would say, that I have planned all this. No. I just saw the advertisement, I sent my CV, went through many procedures, and I've got the position. 

Why?
The answer is simple.

I love flying, I love travelling, I love new experiences, new challenges, new people e-very-day. 

I love action and pressure, discipline on the daily basis, I love extra-ordinary situations and people. 

And, of course, I would love the attention and to walk around with my head high, in my perfect uniform, being the part of the greatest airline in all Baltic.
I would be proud to be an ambassador of my airline.

I would be proud to be in such an elite profession.

But now...studies, studies, studies, exams and practical challenges.

Six weeks of non-stop lectures, theoretical and practical studies and then - flying! I can't wait.

(Yes, swimming and being in the turbulence, in the fire and trying to extinguish the fire, it's all coming. How cool is that?)

Having two exams this week already.
And many more to come.
