Galley Gossip: Advice for the employees of US Airways {Gadling}
Nov 9th 2009 3:41PM What a wonderful, helpful post, as usual, Heather.
I never non-revenue, let alone commute. Heck, I dont even know how to pull up flights on my airline's computer system to check loads. Why bother, most flights are full. But, I've watched the commuters over the years, they get very ingenious on how to get to work or get home. So many flight attendants do it, apparently most of the time you can and will get to work. Getting past the FEAR and BELIEVING in the process is part of that success of having it work. I was chatting with a commuter on the jumpseat just yesterday, getting her perspective.
How sad to the F/A's of US, base closures are emotional.
GOOD LUCK to everyone.
May your flights always be ON TIME.

sad reality, perhaps?
Galley Gossip: A memorable flight for a first time flier {Gadling}

Galley Gossip: A memorable flight for a first time flier {Gadling}
Nov 5th 2009 5:51PM I fondly remember years ago, standing at the entrance of the aircraft ready to board. The agent comes down with a family and an elderly woman. As I help her from the wheelchair, the agent comments to me that it's her first flight. I say, "Really?'' The entire family says, "yeah, first time!"
I then ask her age. She was taking her first flight at the age of 105.

Galley Gossip: Flight attendants under investigation for bomb threat {Gadling}
Oct 6th 2009 12:36PM awww, now I'm bummed.
I picked up the USAToday this morning and was pleasantly surprised to see a "GOOD" article on Flight Attendants. Now this.
But, in reality, every occupation has it's 5 percent that makes us all look bad.

Bother way, today marks the one year anniversary of my inflight incident with the AED. What a shock to open the paper this morning and read this article of all days. You know that saying, it happened for a reason.
And, I'm thinking the same for these two flight attendants. They created their own circumstances and now it's out of their control. This will be a HUGE regret in both their lives. Some people just need to resign.
Galley Gossip: Fly Girls, a flight attendant docu-series airing soon {Gadling}
Sep 29th 2009 11:33PM Well, how timely.
I shared a van with a VA crew this weekend in LAX. My first comment to the crew was......."I heard that you guys are going to have a show about your airline". The male flight attendant said he thought the show was going to be on the scripted side. The female flight attendant named about five FEMALE Flight Attendants that were chosen for the show. All female. She rattled off all the names and said things like........she's a tall black girl. Oh her, everyone knows her. All mentioned seemed to have a personality strait about them.
I got off at my stop at the airport and wished them a safe flight.

Sep 25th 2009 6:19PM The second thing I thought was, I wonder if any of the "fly girls" are guys? Because guys do fly, and that Virgin America flight attendant over there, the one donning the inflatable yellow life vest, is lookin pretty fly to me. I'm just saying...
==============================================
Question! Why is he demostrating a lifevest? They only fly to a few cities within the United States. I thought you had to demo the vest when you flew 50 miles away from land.
Anyway, I once shared a van to the hotel with some VA crewmembers. They're on the young side and I've seen some that could be models. They were happy to fill me in on questions I had about their airline. I thought it was cool that passengers could "order" their meals/snacks from their seats via their IFE system. Uniforms are sharp too. All black.
Thanks for the heads up, Heather. I look forward to the show.
