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 [...]

July 3rd, 2010 Bobby It seems I’ve been having a lot of issues surrounding nonreving lately. First it was my mom not getting on the flight to come out and visit me, then it was my inability to pass ride to the Travel Blog Exchange, now, I’m dealing with nonrevs. I just worked a long haul flight which carried [...]

May 4th, 2010 Bobby Contrary to popular belief not every flight I work is drama-filled, delay ridden and crazy passenger occupied. Sometimes, things just go the way they’re supposed to. I just got back from working two 2day trips, back to back. I put them together so that it would make commuting to Los Angeles worth it. Putting my [...]
An Open Message to Lavatory Users
April 18th, 2010 Bobby Dear Passenger, Hello there. This is Bobby, your flight attendant. I wanted to write you a quick message to inform you of something that annoyed me the last time I had to work in the maincabin. I understand that the lavatory area is a place to mingle, talk, and meet new people. I further understand that it [...]

March 25th, 2010 Bobby Working in the main cabin is always an adventure. Usually, I just work first class and have to deal with the elite few who sit up there, but in the back.. all bets are off. I was working New York – Las Vegas – San Francisco in the main cabin. My lead was awesome, someone [...]

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 [...]

March 12th, 2010 Bobby You would think that being a flight attendant I’d be on time for my flight to Newark, NJ. I didn’t have to be there to work the flight but as an “other airline nonrev” I can check in with the gate agent one hour prior to departure, and, with how full New York City area [...]

February 12th, 2010 Bobby You like to push our button. I know you do. You do it all the time. You push it for a drink, something to eat, to ask a question, to hand us your trash, and when somethings wrong. You push it when you want us to tell the parent sitting in front of you to [...]

January 19th, 2010 Bobby Since I’m usually the purser, time and time again I catch myself repeating “The captain has turned on the fasten seatbelt sign, please return to your seats, fasten your seatbelts, and remain seated until it has been turned off.” How many people actually hear me? All 150. How many people LISTEN to me? about 50. [...]

December 14th, 2009 Bobby Wow. For the last few holiday seasons I didn’t fly much. Prior to my current airline, I worked in the office during the holidays, and prior to that, at my first airline; I was in training for Thanksgiving and somehow got Christmas off. But, wow. People who haven’t flown since Carter was President are now [...]
