Hi-Jinx in Havana - Ex Cabin Crew getting up to mischief in Cuba!
Lots of Flight Attendants move on to different careers in the Emergency Services. The skills acquired in cabin crew training are transferable to the ambulance service, fire service and police.
But it's tricky giving up that lifestyle of travelling the world and having fun 5,000 miles away with like minded people.
Today's story comes from someone who is ex cabin crew, but married to a crew member, so they still get to engage in some layover shenanigans sometimes! But this story nearly led to an arrest and deportation - which might have affected his new career in the police!
