When I became a flight attendant the airport became my second home. Sometimes I think I spend more time waiting around for flights in an airport then I do at home on my couch. It comes with the job and is something that, over the years, I’ve come to love and accept. Now, you might [...]

The Perfect Storm
March 16th, 2010 
Bobby The first thing you find out when you become a flight attendant is to the expect the unexpected. What should have been a simple 2-day trip, which I able to shorten to a one day became such a headache. I was awarded a two day trip that started with a deadhead to New York on [...]

15 Comments »Flight Attendant Appreciation Club
February 26th, 2010 Bobby Brad, of PopSlingers Paradise, posted about this club and I just had to myself. The “Flight Attendant Appreciation Club,” or FAAC, was founded by a man named Craig. Flying from San Francisco to London in Business Class on a lightly booked flight, the passengers and crew were joking around. One passenger made the comment that [...]
The Replacements
February 4th, 2010 Bobby In recent news, American Airlines has come out publicly to say that in the event of a flight attendant strike (over contract negotiations) the airline is committed to their operation and would consider training their managers and support staff as flight attendants. Putting aside the ramifications and reasons over a strike, this is a bad, [...]
Alaska Airlines Flight Attendant's file lawsuit due to Turbulence
December 20th, 2009 Bobby Yep. You read that correctly. I was just as shocked as you are when I first read this story.. and frankly, I’d love to meet these ladies. Donna Dacko and Inga Isakson were working a flight to ONT (Ontario, CA) from SEA (Seattle, WA) on December 25, 2007 when just prior to landing the flight [...]

December 19th, 2009 Bobby Being a Flight Attendant comes with many perks. Some of which you use on a regular basis, some you hardly ever use; and then there are some that you use every single day when going to work. The perk/ability to cut the security line. I’m finding that this is a very touchy subject. Especially on [...]

November 10th, 2009 Bobby I was on day 2 of 4, working Seattle to Los Angeles, back to Seattle, then once again, back to Los Angeles. I was flying with a crew that I knew but haven’t flown with before. I actually did one of their IOEs a year ago. Having that faith in her really came in handy. [...]

October 16th, 2009 Bobby Okay, so I was told by my friend Kyle (another FA at my company from my class, pictured left in my SFO hotel room showing my blog on his phone) that I haven’t updated my blog in a while. I’m actually in San Francisco right now, for fun (believe it or not), getting ready to head out for a [...]
The Schedule Lottery
September 17th, 2009 Bobby In the airline world seniority means everything. It runs your life from your days off to what trips you work and from your vacation time to your pay. Monthly you’re always reminded of exactly where you stand when you bid for next months schedule. Depending on where your seniority stands, it’s almost like playing the [...]
Flight Attendant Confession: No Fly List
September 8th, 2009 Bobby Though I wrote a post about Flight Attendant Camaraderie, there is, however, the flip side to that. Not only between airlines, but within each airline. I usually bid for 4 day trans-continental trips. Doing this, results in our crew of 3 usually becoming very close. Not only are we working together for 8-9-10 hours a [...]
