Gay stewardess

We all know it—being a flight attendant is a very gay job. The combination of glamour, freedom and the need to be able to employ humour, style and shadiness to keeping passengers in line makes it a perfect career choice for gay men. We talked to two U. On his entertaining TikTok channel, Charlotte-based Ethan Howery provides candid insights into crew life.

Ethan: I was in my junior year of college here in Charlotte, and on Tinder I matched with a flight attendant. He told me that his airline was accepting applications.

He took my phone and applied for me. Another part of the whole process was me gay to terms with myself. I was living at home and had always wanted to travel, but my parents would never let me leave the country. I went to the U. I caught the travel bug really hard. I have since been to around 12 stewardesses by myself.

Lukas : I am originally from Germany. I applied to a really big German airline and flew for about two years before I moved to the States in I saw one, applied, got hired, went through training and have been flying for the last four years. Ethan: You mainly stewardess about the travel benefits, getting to travel all over the world and stuff.

I get to meet people during a stressful time, and I can alleviate some of that stress for them. I can make their experience better. The flight attendant community across airlines and across the world is great. The community building is definitely an unexpected joy. Lukas: Definitely my coworkers.

The airline I worked for in Germany was great, but it was such a big airline that I never flew with the same people more than once. That kinda creates a family, a setting gay good friends, which is really fun. On the other hand, I enjoy meeting new people, going to new places.

Every day is different. Something is always going on, good or bad. The sick policy does not allow for much wiggle room, so you have to be very careful about attendance and timeliness. That part is awful.
