She was, however, amused that men ghost her because of her occupation. Words overlaid on her video read:

Via her TikTok page, the flight attendant entertains her more than 18,000 followers with content about her aviation job.
The flight attendant did not, however, disclose the name of her employer. Her post blew up on the social media platform.

They help passengers get seated, demonstrate how to use the plane's safety equipment, including seat belts, and provide snacks, beverages, and other services.

Men are drawn to 'celebrities of the sky' - Expert
Addressing lingering stereotypes about the job, bilingual ex-flight attendant and customer engagement expert, Blessing Megwara, said the profession requires rigorous training and competence far beyond what many assume.
Speaking with Legit.ng, she noted stereotypes are less about relationship issues and more about perceived promiscuity or shallowness of the role:
"I feel it's a myth. Men are even more attracted to flight attendants, be it for fun or for keeps. They are curiously attracted to the celebrities of the sky. The stereotypes are more centered around promiscuity and unavailability in the relationship. Other stereotypes are ‘you people just serve tea and coffee,’ not knowing that it's more deep and vast, like having to master aviation security, medicine, standard operating procedures, survival, etc., for the safety of the passengers and crew. Being ghosted by men is far from it. One needs to be more than a flight attendant for that to be their fate.”
Air Peace flight attendant resigns
After two years of working with Air Peace, a lady finally quit her job. She stated that her resignation came with mixed feelings for her, even though she is moving up in her career.
In her words:
"...Just to let you guys know, I left the company, not the industry. It was a difficult decision to make. I had to go through it for months, like I was thinking about it for months, and then one day, I just woke up, and I'm like, okay, that is it, I sent my letter...
"The company was one of the best things that happened to me, because I met amazing people, I learnt from the best, and it shapened me. It was the first aviation industry that I have ever worked for, and you know how your first love can be, it is here (touches her chest region)."
In a related story, Legit.ng reported that a lady lamented that she was being avoided by men because of her kind of occupation, also sparking reactions online.
Lady who can't date someone earning N500k
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a young Nigerian lady shared why she can't date a man who earns N500,000 monthly.
In her opinion, a man's financial situation played a role in determining the success of a relationship, based on previous experience.
She explained that she temporarily ended a relationship with her boyfriend until he achieved financial stability, stating as follows:
"I'm 21 years old. I pay N2.1 million for a self contain. I'm a fashion designer but I'm still working under somebody. My boyfriend helped me to afford the rent. When he was broke, I left him so that he will have time to make money. I gave him one year break."
