A FEMALE airline pilot has revealed all of the worst things about her job, though she insisted she “loves” it.
Sabrina Johnson, 22, gave a measured answer to the question posed by one of her followers on TikTok, but said: “ask me again in 10 years”.
She prefaced her comments with the fact that she is not a “huge complainer” and also that she hasn’t really been in the role long enough to have encountered major issues.
But she did admit, first of all, that the intensive training required to become a pilot had taken it out of her.
She said: “The training was what I hated most about going to an airline.”
The young flyer explained that the pandemic meant her training was stretched out to four months because of Covid restrictions.
However, when it comes to the job itself, she added: “I’m going to say short overnights.
“Like, 10 or 11 hours. Or I hate when we get delayed for a flight and I was going to have 15 hours but now I only have like 11 hours.”
She also took issue with when short turn around between long haul flights meant that she flies 12 hours straight without time to grab lunch at the airport.
On the other hand, though, she said: “Everyone hates something about the job.
“There isn’t much that I hate about my job.
“I do like my job and that’s why I create content about it.”
Despite her humility, there was plenty of support in the comments.
One social media user wrote: “You are in the right mindset, strive to keep that even on your most tired and overworked days and you will always have good energy.”
Another added simply: “Love it.”
It comes after another pilot the very strict and surprising rules they have to follow if a passenger dies on board.
Meanwhile, a flight attendant shared some handy hacks on how to bag a first class upgrade, including one with a 99% success rate.
