do not be mistaken by the things she carries and what she
wears....
Stewardesses only make a little more if they are on duty on long
haul flights... they get more allowances.... so, on the part where
you said big time? No really.
As for the branded stuffs, when you travel more, you're more
accessible to the branded stuffs in Europe which are much cheaper,
and if you travel to Korea, you'll be able to get damn good
imitations. Mind you, they are selling very "real" Rolex watches in
Bangkok, which costs you only between S$50 - S$100. If you know how
to carry yourself, nobody will know even if what you have are
imitations.
The other possibility ,of cos, is that they'll "pawn" themselves.
Hook a business-man boyfriend (whom she met on the plane) and
squeeze him dry of gifts and presents.
The bottom line is.... Don't envy stewardesses. When you do, you
give these people an impression that they're a 'cut' above us.
They're not exactly high-class / high-society people. They're just
plain 'high-class waitresses'.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not offended by them. As a matter of fact,
I've a few friends with SQ, JAL and United. They've "toned down"
and became more down-to-earth. There were those days where they've
shared with me on their Over-Spending habits and they're always
trying so hard to facilitate their Credit-Card bills.....unless
this is a perk to you, if not, its about time we change our
perception about these people.
