yes it's true... i almost quit my job and wanted to take the next flight back to Singapore to be with my family. i was on a flight to Hong Kong on the 3rd August 2006. and as most of u might know. there's a typhoon there. we were asked to be sitted on our jumpseats 45 minuted prior to landing which was pretty unusual ( it's usually 15 mins).
then it came.. the turbulance... and we had to circle around Hong Kong twice because of air traffic, i reckon before landing. and the winds were so strong and the rain slamming the fuselage of the plane. I was sitting af the aft of the aircraft facing forward so i could see everything that was happening. it felt as if the fuselage might break into two or the winds were going to blow us off course the runway. the passengers were getting sick by then and i felt as if my tummy was going upside down.
i really thank God for a great Captain, cause he managed to get all of us on ground safely. and i almost cried.i said prayers of thanks and then i realise that what i thought about this job was true.. it's not always smooth sailing. that's y we're being paid so much... it's such a high risked job in the air depending on the aircraft & pilots (and GOD) to get us safely from one place to another. the day after that, more than 700 flights were delayed and i had another 12 hours in Hong Kong.
it was one hell of an experience and something i wish to never be a part of again. (hey, who am i kidding, it comes with the job!!)
