Visakhapatnam: M. Moulika Naidu is only a few days away from living her dream. After a brief stint as a ground staff, she is all set to become a cabin crew member soon.
It was like a dream come true for her as she always wanted to take up a flying job. After completing a diploma in aviation in Flying Cats post her Class XII, Moulika got selected as a ground staff in SpiceJet, Shamshabad through campus interview. “Soon, I realised that I am not cut for it. But the eight-month-long experience in the terminal gave me enough exposure to groom myself, dealing with irate customers. As a ground staff, one has to cope with immense stress. From flights being rescheduled to enquiries and managing the passengers’ luggage, most of the processes are handled by the staff. Even the slightest mistake will lead to a disaster,” says the girl from the city.
Initially, when Moulika got an opportunity as a cabin crew member, clearing preconceived notions turned out to be the biggest challenge. “Most of my relatives were under the impression that it’s not a respectable job. However, my mother has been extremely supportive and encouraged me to go ahead with my choice,” says the 20-year-old who lost her father when she was in Class VII.
Very soon, she is going to move to Kempegowda International Airport to start a fresh life.
