Prostitutes?? No, just Flight Attendants really. Why? Because:

1. We F/As work in weird shifts... Like prostitutes

2. They pay you to make the client happy... Like a prostitute

3. The client pays a lot of money, but your employer keeps almost every
penny... Like a prostitute

4. You are rewarded for fulfilling the client's dreams... Like a prostitute

5. Your friends fall apart and you end up hanging out with people in the
same profession as you... Like a prostitute

6. When you have to meet the client you always have to be perfectly
groomed.... Like a prostitute

7. But when you go back home it seems like you are coming back from hell..
Like a prostitute

8. The client always wants to pay less but expects incredible things from
you... Like a prostitute

9. When people ask you about your Job, you have difficulties to explain
it... Like a prostitute

10. Everyday when you wake up, you say: I'M NOT GOING TO SPEND THE REST OF
MY LIFE DOING THIS"..... Like a prostitute


REMARKS The only difference is the prostitutes can take Christmas and New
Year's Eve off and they actually DO make a lot of Money!!!
If you know someone in the airline industry please share this e-mail with
them so they don't feel bad anymore.... Like a prostitute

I don't know what year they are living in except they may be living in the past. Perhaps living in the past is why they are such a highly rated Airline. I would characterize most Air travel as blas'e. Traveling on Emirates is truly civilized.
