We have now received our second roster, or calender for our working flights. Our class is sitting and calling out where they are going and what they are doing and whether it is active flights or passive travel or standby or reserve. We are also so busy getting our roster downloaded on to the apps…

Respect and the power of silence
Growing up I wasn’t really taught what respect was. I didn’t understand boundaries or when it is appropriate to tell someone to be quiet or whether asking someone to be quiet was disrespectful. It’s subjective really. Everyone may have a different definition of what is respectful and disrespectful. Is it really subjective though? Certain things…
People, we are all so different
Growing up whenever someone asked me what super power I wanted I always said telekinesis. I wanted to be able to read people’s minds and know how they thought and what they were thinking. This want comes from my abandonment. If someone is going to leave me I want to know. It also comes from…
Attitude VS Perception
My perception of myself is very different from the way others perceive me. Let me state this very bluntly: Let me state this very bluntly: THE COMPANY I AM CURRENTLY WORKING FOR HAS BEEN, so far, AMAZING!! I am very happy to have something to do, and I love learning. This is new and I…
Bite my tongue… don’t look like a jackass
Today we got to our training center fire pit training was first. Compared to ship fire training this was not as bad as I thought it would be. They had us extinguish a very small fire that was lighter fluid burning with a dioxide extinguisher. The smoke hood was probably the hardest aspect and even…
Traveling in Groups = Patience
Going to the airport in a group has never been a good experience. I tend to like the trips by myself more. Thankfully I have so much experience from ships that the things that once would have annoyed me beyond belief are now only minor scratches in my surface. 3 Mini vans from a cab…
Just remind yourself there are only 3 weeks left of training.
A week down and I’ll admit that me having compassion and patience for other people’s learning curves is a constant struggle. We have so many different types of people in our class. We all bring different experiences in jobs and in life, but somehow we came together to do this training for this air line….
Qualms of Money… Especially when trying to rent an apartment in NYC.
Today I submitted an application for an apartment that myself, a fellow flight attendant perspective and hopefully another will inhabit. However, we do not have the 3rd person yet, and my salary as a flight attendant is supposedly 3k a month, at best. This is cleverly written out on our employment letter. Ideally, that means…
Story time…. but YOU be focused or get out.
Woke up today with a certain amount of anxiety, got showered and we were off at 6am to take the two trains and a bus to our training location. Got there and surprisingly we were not the first to arrive but ran into a fellow first-day trainee at the bus stop, then grabbed coffee to…
Dry run to a far off land… somewhere over the rainbow
Today my roommate and fellow soon to be trainee did a dry run to queens college where our training will commence on Monday (3 days from now). 2 subway trains and a bus later we got there. However, these two trains were annoying. Then we get on a bus and it takes forever, landing us…
Colds and the Snow from Miles Above
However many miles up in the air right now I wish I wasn’t feeling so crappy. I have had a cold for the last week and the pressure up here is making my head spin. It was finally feeling better today and then on this flight it has been the worst. As soon as we…
What if something was in my butt… oh wait? I’m delayed.
Sitting and waiting in Newark airport. I haven’t been on a plane in just over a year. I get to the airport and decide to check my bag. Not because I need to but more because I don’t want the hassle of brining it on the plane. Also, to be blunt it is a little large to…
