If she does not do it. She will always wonder.... what if? Many flight attendants myself included have outside jobs. Of course I am not on reserve so I have control of my schedule and my other job as a registered nurse is flexible so I can combine the two.

It is very true that these are uncertain times for the airlines. I applaud your advice that was given to Lorelei. However, it is very wise to have a back up plan.

I agree with you that commuting is hard. I commute with my Yorkshire Terrier as I do not have a pet sitter in Miami where I live, but my fellow flight attendant co-worker and her elderly mother with whom I reside with in New York (Rego Park) as my crash pad, also double as my pet sitters. In my case I am always watching the weather and the flight loads. In addition I am prepared to purchase a ticket if the situation arises.

It is a crazy lifestyle, but as you stated earlier.... It gets into your blood.

Best wishes unto all!
