On his LinkedIn post, Ritter said that his time as cabin crew was ‘about putting yourself in someone else’s shoes’ and described it as an ‘enriching and a powerful experience’.Â
“I have been working for the Lufthansa Group for many years. But I have never had the opportunity to work as part of the cabin crew. And honestly, that was so interesting and also challenging! I was amazed by how much there is to organize, especially, if something doesn’t go as planned – for example the meals offered on the menu cards were not exactly the meals loaded on board.” Ritter wrote in his post.
“It was so interesting to address the guests’ wishes individually, to deal with the different energy everyone has. I used to fly as a pilot and so I thought I knew about the challenges a flight during the night entails.” Ritter added.
