Sunday I received a text alerting me that my duty plan had been changed. It’s hard for me to lie and say I wasn’t a little annoyed but then I opened the website and saw… I’m going to PARIS… YES!!!!  I first came to Paris almost exactly 2 years ago and I love it here. …

Last week it was gay pride in NYC. For the first time I ventured out in hopes of getting some great photo shots. I succeeded.  However, it got me thinking about pride. How proud of myself for where I am in my life. How proud I am for whom I have in my life. How…

3 days ago I got an email, surprise my company needs me to fly to London and come back at the exact time I was already supposed to go to Copenhagen. I was happy to have something to do in the middle of my week. First I was flying passive to London. Then the morning…

As I sit on a 737-800 I have 2 days left on the 6 day trip. This crew has been amazing and yet I have had my first glimpse of slight drama.  Nothing I will divulge but certainly my time on ships has come in handy when dealing with all the personalities I have come…

Last week on my trip from LA to Copenhagen my big bag did not make the journey with me. It decided to stay in LA.  A week later and I finally have my bag back. Looking back on the situation I handled it as best I could. The most overwhelming thing was shopping for me….

She was strict but informative and also a blast outside of work. She noticed everything and praised me for my strengths while…

Flying passive is when a crew member flies as a passenger on a flight and is paid for the  time. We do not work but it is a positioning that we do in order to work either a next flight or possibly to get home.  I happen to be flying passive because there was supposed…

Lying in my hotel I am fighting to keep my eyes open. I have a movie on, one I’ve seen before. I have taken a shower and nursed the blisters on my feet. Only 3 hours ago we were landing on the first flight ever that I was a flight attendant on. My crew and…

Yesterday all 16 of us graduated and are now off to be on the line. Most of us have our line training in the next weeks and we are all off to different places.  I was told my trainer on my line training is pretty thurough and slightly strict, which I’m actually excited about. I…

We got our uniforms this past Monday.  It was so exciting to be able to try everything on and feel how everything fit.  This is my first job with a uniform and a uniform that I’m not completely hideous in. I am very valuptuous and clothing is very anxiety filled for me as usually it…
