i'm going back to flying

· 🌡️ 48°F

i got called back to work by usairways, and i accepted. so i'm going away for training this sunday through the 14th. and then starting the 15th, i'm back to being a flight attendant.

i haven't separated from roswell yet. we're going to try me working part time for a while. we'll see how it goes. hopefully, usairways won't be calling me much since i'm at the bottom of the seniority list and i'll be collecting a fat paycheck, while working for here.

i don't want to leave roswell, but the offer from usairways was too good to pass up. plus, i would have lost all of my flight privileges had i passed on this recall. the nice thing is, is that i'm based in philly, so most of our international flying goes out of there and i'm hoping to get me some of that. i'm looking forward to 36 hour layovers in zurich, amsterdam, shannon, london, paris, greece, belgium, stockholm....etc.



plus we've just put in to fly into beijing. i can't wait to work that 18 hour flight!

i'm starting practicing now....coffee....tea....me?

    I would take you but I don't have enough money, HA!!! No seriously I don't have enough money, HA! Congratulations I can't imagine being on a plane for 18 hours let alone having to work. I'm sure you'll enjoy your job and the benefits and all the traveling, again congratulations and I wish you luck on the training.

    So, were you a flight attendant who was laid off? It's awesome to be getting a good offer for another job with the economic problems now.

    The concept of being a flight attendant on international flights seems really appealing for the reason you mentioned...but to be a flight attendant, I imagine you have to convey a sense of calm while flying...something I haven't managed to do yet!

    Good luck with everything...

    I never knew you used to be a flight attendant. That sounds like a fabulous job!

    Wow. This is unexpected. What happens to the summer plans?

    Wow, that is such a big change. I wonder what would happen if I got an awesome German job offer. I doubt I would leave now that I got everything going on here but it would be tempting to be in other places. Fortunately for Roswell, I hate travel. Don't get me wrong, I like being in other places - I just don't like the getting there part and I love my house. That does not mean that I am not totally jealous.

    Is this for real? Have you broken this news to the department?

    Would you then be living in Philly?

    Coffee and tea would finish a distant second and third in that question :) Congrats on seeing the world once more
