One of my posts on Flightster covers a flight from, you guessed it; New York to Los Angeles. This flight was with my two great friends Brad & Savannah, and thank god it was! We encountered some of the strangest complaints and issues and because we’re friends outside of work as well as great teamplayers [...]

August 29th, 2010 Bobby It’s no secret that being a flight attendant comes with short layovers, little sleep, a lot of work, time zone changes, unruly passengers, long days, and scheduling snafus. But, do the positives of the job outweigh the negatives? That’s the question I posed to the readers of Flightster. The media has been covering my career [...]
Trip Report: Seattle to Los Angeles
August 27th, 2010 Bobby I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it once again: one reason why I love this job is because no two days are ever the same. The passengers on board any given flight make or break a flight attendants day. Luckily, on board this particular flight from Seattle to Los Angeles, it made my day. [...]
Buddy Bidding
August 24th, 2010 Bobby Working as a flight attendant brings a lot of variety. Not only do you visit different cities and meet new people, but you also get different crews. I’ve written about it here before, flight attendant’s bid for their monthly schedules. Your preferences are inputted into a computer system and then in seniority order it assigns [...]

August 13th, 2010 Bobby Over on the Flightster Blog I posted a few observations from my travels over the past few weeks. I think any passenger or airline employee can relate to what I’ve seen. Here’s a small taste of what you can find: To parents: Play-dough should not be used by children on board an aircraft. It sticks [...]
Support for Slater
August 10th, 2010 Bobby News broke early yesterday of a flight attendant losing it at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport. Steven Slater, a jetBlue Flight Attendant since 2008, did something flight attendant’s always dream about doing.. but never actually do. According to reports, Slater was dealing with a passenger who attempted to remove his luggage from the [...]
PACKiT the new Crew Cooler?
August 8th, 2010 Bobby Okay, so you know when it comes to this blog I’ve never written about one product in particular other than my eBag Crew Cooler and how much I love it (and I do!). In my last (and seemingly only) Travel Tuesday post I wrote about shopping at Fresh&Easy and spending $40 for my four day [...]
First Class Follies
August 2nd, 2010 Bobby I believe working first class has its privileges. I get to work in a more intimate setting and actually have time to get to know my passengers on a friendly basis rather than having a conversation that just involves “can I get you a drink?” For the most part, first class travelers are very civilized, [...]

July 25th, 2010 Bobby Not many “civilians,” or non-flight attendants, realize how tough initial flight attendant training really is. Throughout the 4-8 week training course we’re taught everything from CPR to surviving a water landing and even how to assist in delivering a baby. But, the one thing we’re not taught is how to predict how your passengers will [...]
News & Notes
July 22nd, 2010 Bobby Hey there everyone! Sorry for the lack of an update in the past week. I’ve been working quite a lot and though I haven’t been updating the blog I have been writing some blogs that will start showing up this afternoon. I’ve some pretty interesting stories for you. I promise. I think my streak of [...]
