"I miss you ️ As a flight crew, our priority is to transport you from point A to point B comfortably so as your safety. In this time of world crisis, we will be resting our wings for a while and some are for good but definitely not forever.

"It is such an honor serving you on board. Thank you to all of you I stumbled during my journey -- my mentors, supervisors, managers, colleagues, friends and passengers -- you were all great and amazing.

"Its not all the time you find home at work but this time, I found one. I can say I fell in love with this job."

She ended her post with a positive tone saying, "Until we meet again. Soon, we will be 'flying with you'.
