- A full flight is boarded, served and safe, and everyone is thanked on the way out
- A passenger writes to say how kind you were on a day when they badly needed it
Hard days
- Early starts, late finishes and nights away from home with a body clock in knots
- A delay with a cabin full of tired, frustrated people looking at you
- Staying cheerful and alert after twelve hours on your feet
