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 “each [...]

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, bad [...]

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 hit [...]

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 high travel [...]

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.
We [...]

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 night [...]

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 lottery [...]

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 day [...]

I never noticed it until it was pointed out, but when in the company of other flight attendants, away from the job, all we talk about is, well.. work. Which aircraft has the worst smell, what the crazy passenger said, the drama between flight attendants and pilots and recent company announcements. Is that really the [...]

A lot of people dream that one day they can do what I do: fly for a living. I’ll admit, being a Flight Attendant sure has its perks but it also has its downfalls.
When I started flying a few years back I never realized how difficult it would become to find a romantic interest that [...]
