CREW IN FOCUS Paula has been an Energiser bunny - both on board and as a volunteer and consistent contributor to Facebook pages to keep our spirits up over the past year. Whether she's dressing up for volunteering in a sari or wearing a pretty much a scarf and a smile, we know it's people like Paula that make the FAAA and QF what it is. Paula's love for her crew time on the Jumbo expresses, what we wish we could put in words: ‘You were my other home with my crew I would regard as family, making new friends in different ports – sometimes not speaking the same language but our mother you brought us together. You transported me to amazing places: London, New York, San Francisco, Rome, Paris, Vancouver, Honolulu, Fiji, Bombay, Bahrain just to name a few, where I would explore, share meals, have crew room parties, dance, share our community spirit. The first time when you embraced me was as a child, travelling with my Dad Paul – a chief steward with Qantas. I thought he knew everyone in the whole world as everywhere we went: airports, hotels, planes people knew him. It was exciting, fun... we always dressed up to fly. You bought the world closer, crew together. If the joy, laughter, love that we shared within you remains you will be just filled with LOVE.’ Her work with Orange Sky Mobile Laundry, Meals on Wheels and QCCT has kept her motivated – especially through the rollercoaster of 2020, garnering her National Volunteer Week: Volunteer of the Year! ‘I’m just a worker bee with lots of hives. I do what I do to help my amazing co-ordinators bring joy, dignity, health, education to people in my community, plus The Philippines and Johannesburg.’ Orange Sky provides mobile washing facilities to people who are in emergency housing, homeless or can not afford the cost of the laundromat. ‘I personally have found that being of service has made it easier to navigate the dark days.’ At 8 years of age, Paula told her dad that she decided to become a flight attendant so she could ‘sit in bars, talk to boys and go to Disneyland’. Goals. In her wise closing words: I want to thank all the amazing people I’ve been honoured to work with. The super heroes in the FAAA – the team who have been working more than any human could. The most loving QCCT team – particularly Manila, Joburg and Mumbai teams that I’ve had my most rewarding moments from flying. Last but no means least: my crew, who some only meet once, others many times who have made my career one that dreams are made of. Shared so many adventures, memories, catastrophic hangovers but shared one thing: When away we are ONE. Wearing the Qantas uniform I knew that I belonged to a unique workforce that in spite of dramas, delays, would pull together as one. I always felt proud and special that I – Paula Hardwick – was a Qantas Flight Attendant. Stay strong – more adventures & good times in the future. Stay safe, be in the moment, be kind to yourself.’ 30 SUMMER EDITION 2021
