Unpredicted Rendezvous

Afternoon on 24 December 2011 , i was flying with one of the famous Airline in Indonesia, back from mu holiday at Bali to Jakarta (my hometown).

It was amazing rendezvous happen that afternoon. I met ex my team member at the previous Consulting Company. He was standing in the Flight and gave a greetings for all the passengers. He decided to change his career from a consultant to be a Flight Attendant 3 years ago. I interviewed him and decided to hire him to be a junior consultant. From the day one of his joining, I was his mentor.

At that afternoon, he did the new tricks during the 1.5 hours of flight which has never been done by any other Airlines in this world (as i knew). He attracted all passengers' attention by calling his team member (flight attendants) with the horor's name are: "Nyai Blorong", "Nyi Pelet" and "Nyai Dasima" when these three flight attendants want to show the safety ways to the passengers which normally did it by all airlines.

For sure, he was successful in getting all passengers' attention. He told me that he did it in every flight with the specific different name for his team member without informed his team. Before landing, he also announced the passenger's name who got birthday, he sang a "happy birthday" song but used the different melody. At the end of his song he got big applause from all passengers.

He just started his new journey 2 years ago became one of the flight attendant, and today he got promoted become Senior Flight Attendant, level that allowed to be come an announcer in the flight and coordinate team during the flight. It was a fast track promotion, I guess.

So, I proud of him with his achievement, a team member who i had become his mentor from day 1, enjoy the team work, and also has ever angry with him in order to meet very tight deadline,angry when he submitted the resignation letter and leave the deadline for me to handle by myself (1 day before the deadline). His dream became true now.

Being a Good Leader, I feel proud of him with all his achievement today. Even though we got taft working session at that time, got angry from me, but he has never changed his mind. He always keep in touch with me. Good luck my friend and keep the good work.
