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 [...]

1 Comment »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. [...]
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 [...]
NonRev NonSense
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 [...]

June 27th, 2010 Bobby Okay, so I totally planned that my first post after TBEX would be about the people I met, the things I learned and what to expect for the next year since yesterday was my blogs 1 year birthday. However, the experience of getting home from TBEX is currently trumping the planned blog post. I arrived [...]

June 14th, 2010 Bobby If you ever find yourself non-revving anywhere (airline employee pass; non-rev meaning non-revenue, you didn’t pay for a ticket) don’t talk about it. Hell, don’t even think about it. Looking at the situation the wrong way will jinx your trip and you won’t go anywhere. My Mother was supposed to fly from New York to [...]
Wanna-be Celebrity
June 4th, 2010 Bobby This is a very random post, but on the last trip that I did.. I noticed a lot of these people, enough that it made me think and jot down thoughts. Maybe you’ve seen one. The “wanna-be celebrity” is a breed of airline passenger that always peeks my interest. Usually, they can be found prior [...]
The Boston List
April 29th, 2010 Bobby It should come as no surprise to those of you that read this blog that I always seem to find the crazy people. I’m starting to wonder if its not “me” per-say but just the cities I always fly between. I was off of work for a week. Eight days, actually. I went back to work [...]
You bring it? You Sling it!
April 23rd, 2010 Bobby I know I’ve written about carry-on bags before. In fact, I write about them a lot. But the recent news of Spirit Airlines’ new carryon fee and an article by ABC News is making me write about them again. First, let me say that I think that I’m the only person for the carry-on bag fee. I [...]
