She was born to be in a people-facing role. What a pleasant person.

'Guy was trying to bite everyone...bless him' 🤣

What a class act: warm, intelligent, elegant. Really informative and appreciate her ability to understand that the aggressive passenger was suffering from a mental illness. Handled a very challenging situation and yet is able to show compassion.

I love how she said if it was a nighttime flight and they were discreet she wouldn’t disturb them 😂😂 I like her personality!

Loved that she upgraded the gentleman who was subject to the racism!

Can we talk about the fact that Mandy is probably the coolest flight attendant ever

She is so incredibly likeable! Love her personality.

30 yr FA for AA. I was the Purser (Inflight manager) on an overnight flight to LHR. Got a call that 2 passengers had snuck into the back restroom. We listened at the door & quickly knew what they were engaged in. We grabbed a piece of paper & made a “Welcome to the mile high club” certificate & about six of the crew all gathered around the lavatory door waiting patiently. The door unlocked and the young lady stepped out. The crew whooped and cheered stating loudly “Welcome to Mile the Club”! Loud enough the entire back of Economy class all turned to see what was going on. The cheering continued until the male came out & the both of them slinking back to their seats in very bright shades of red. We must always be in constant supervision of the cabin & lavs so the chance of not getting caught will be slim to none.

I have the deepest respect for flight attendants in modern times. The amount of difficult people they have to deal with, I could not do that. She is so calm and warm, a perfect personality for that difficult job. ❤

She seems like the most patient person ever😂

Such a classy, well-spoken, and gracious professional lady, who’s obviously hardworking and certainly seems caring (not to mention she’s likely got the patience of Job as a member of flight crew)! A joy to behold.

I was double booked (same seat number) as another passenger on Virgin JNB-LHR. I was seated first, and she complained, LOUDLY. The flight attendant asked if she really insisted on that seat, she demanded yes, so the FA upgraded me to Upper Class.

I love this interview format

The crash she is referring to is that of Birgenair Flight 301 which occurred on the 7th of February 1996 and was the joint-deadliest aviation incident involving a Boeing 757 (along with American Airlines Flight 77) having a total of 189 fatalities. Furthermore, Flight 301 is the deadliest aviation accident ever to have occurred in the Dominican Republic. It was caused by erroneous airspeed readings. There was evidence that some of the recovered bodies had been 'mangled' by sharks and life rafts were found floating in the area. But obviously no one knows how many of them had survived and were subsequently eaten or attacked by the sharks. "All 189 people on board a Boeing 757 charter plane - most of them German tourists heading home from two weeks of tropical sunshine - were killed yesterday when their aircraft crashed into the Caribbean minutes after taking off from Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic." "US Coast Guard vessels joined the rescue effort before dawn yesterday. Officers said they and the Dominican navy had picked up 40 bodies by afternoon, some of them injured by sharks. Dominican officials said there was little hope that anyone survived. The Coast Guard said schools of circling sharks made it too dangerous to use divers. The aircraft apparently sank quickly but reports of empty life rafts floating among the debris suggested some passengers may have escaped from the wreckage, only to be blown towards the sharks by stormy winds and eight foot waves."

Much love to her for keeping it classy and being very emphatic, plus educating us. Furthermore, much love to all the cabin crew up there taking care of us while traveling ❤

As a muslim who has prayed on a plane several times. I always did it while sitting on my seat to not disturb anyone and be respectfull. In special cases you can pray while sitting down. I never understand people that lay out something on the floor in an airplane. I think most of those people are just showing off and that is not commendable at all.

I could listen to her explain complicated theories all day 😍

I was asked to sit next to a Bangladeshi because no one else wanted to. I sat next to him from Philippines to Canada. He was a great education to me, Very well clued up with great ideas. The time "flew"

On my last flight all of the crew onboard were female. They got a standing ovation before takeoff and after landing. Everyone was so happy to see 2 females flying the plane and backed by an all female cabin crew.
