    Where's the shower scene?

    Cathay posted some of her skiing pictures on facebook. She's from Canada.

    Ben- I thought that some Asian carriers have age limits for their FA's.

    Did you catch the graffiti on the Mona Lisa pic over her shoulder in her apartment opening remarks? ;-)

    @ Andy F. -- The short answer is that being a flight attendant at most foreign airlines isn't a career, but a job. They sign a work contract for 1-5 years, and it's entirely up to the airline whether or not they're kept beyond then.

    In the US when they're hired they can't be fired unless they commit an "offense" or the company is laying off, so you can't fire just to get "fresh blood" like they do at other airlines.

    I have a question living long time in my mind: why most flight attendants in the US are older persons comparing to those of Asian or European airlines? Is there any specific reason? Is FA not an attractive job for young people in the States? Thx and sorry for any misunderstanding or miscommunications. Just curious.

    I agree that's a big apartment for HKG. She either lives with her parents or has a rich husband.

    If it takes her 20 mins to get to the airport from her home, she probably lives in Tsing Yi, as many CX crew do. My bf works as a CX crew and it pays peanuts: about USD $1500 a month. Really sad.

  13. Nycflyer75 Guest

    Love this video, thanks for sharing Ben!

  14. Lewis Guest

    I do love how all the crew stand briefly in respect to the flight manager when she welcomes them for the pre-flight briefing.

  15. ChineseScouser Guest

    Bigger true, but it seems pretty large. Rich parents/husband? ;)

  16. Jeff Guest

    If you live in NT/Kowloon the flats are bigger. Not everything is cramped in HK. ;)

  17. lucky OMAAT

    @ oneeyejack -- My thought as well...

  18. oneeyejack Guest

    that's a pretty large place that she lives in in HK

  19. DJ Guest

    always like CP almost wanted to work there.

  20. Web Guest

    Cool. She's cute. Didn't have an English accent either. When r u gonna meet her lucky?

  21. Ko Guest

    Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.
    Hopefully I get to fly CX sometime in the near future.

  22. TAO Guest

    nice, flying with CX in a few hours, hope to see her on board, lol

  23. Wes Guest
